\n

PDO_update_rate<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\n

d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Optional. Specify this flag to enable debug mode.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\n

Optional. Specify this flag to enable verbose mode.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

m=<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Optional. Specify the number of EtherCat masters. The default is 1.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

e=<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Optional. Specify the number of errors before doing a restart on the device. default is 150 errors before reconnect.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Example:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

ecat_srvr<\/strong> 24 &<\/p>\n

This create an ethercat connection using 1 master and will reconnect after 150 errors.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

ecat_srvr<\/strong> 24 m=2 e=50 &<\/p>\n

This create an ethercat connection using 2 masters and will reconnect after 50 errors.<\/p>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Notes:<\/h3>\n

This must be started before device attribute tasks and supports debugging and verbose output for testing.<\/p>\n
