EC_API_SLV_setDeviceType()

uint32_t EC_API_SLV_setDeviceType	(	EC_API_SLV_SHandle_t *	pHandle,
		EC_API_SLV_EDevType_t	devType
	)

Define EtherCAT Device Type. Identifies the slave as a standard slave, an EtherCAT servo drive supporting the CiA402 drive profile or a modular device. Object Dictonary Index 0x1000.

CiA402 is a set of profile specifications standardizes the functional behavior of controllers for servo drives, frequency inverters, and stepper motors. It also introduces several operation modes and corresponding configuration parameters. A modular structure can be used for all kind of devices that supports physical or logical modules. This can be for example:

Gateways from Fieldbusses to EtherCAT Multi Axis servo drives (physical modules) with each axis having independent operation modes (logic modules) Extendable bus coupler with an internal backbone (e.g. sliced I/Os) *

Parameters

[in]	pHandle	The pointer to the EtherCAT API instance.
[in]	devType	EtherCAT Device Type based on EtherCAT Profiles (CiA402 and MDP5001).

Returns

ErrorCode API Error Code

Example

#include <ecSlvApi.h>
 
// required variables
uint32_t retVal = 0;
// the Call
retVal = EC_API_SLV_setDeviceType(pHandle, EC_API_SLV_eDT_DEFAULT_DEVICE);
