you need to call the global Master instance in your code to have these variables up to date.</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="err">Ethercat_Master();</span>
<span class="c">xconfigfinished:=Ethercat_Master.xConfigFinished;</span>

<p>I am using EtherCat Master in my project, and I am testing it. My problem is, that I can not catch any status. In the input assistant, I could find the following:<br/>
IoConfig_Globals.EtherCAT_Master.xError -> it is boolean, and according to the explanation:<br/>
"The output is TRUE when<br/>
<em> an error occurs when starting the EtherCAT stack, or<br/>
</em> communication with the slaves is interrupted because no more messages can be received (for example, due to a damaged cable)."</p>
<p>Based on it, I have added to my ST this one:<br/>
e:=IoConfig_Globals.EtherCAT_Master.xError;</p>
<p>Where e is boolean variables.</p>
<p>But it always FALSE. If the program is running, I unplug the EtherCat EK1100 from the power, and in the Codesys I can see the red triangles next to the EtherCat master etc., but the variable is still FALSE.</p>
<p>How can I check it during the run? Is there any other solution to check does the Master run properly or not?</p>
<p>Thank You in advance!</p></div>
