Question

This question is about disconnecting and connecting EtherCAT slaves. If I execute the function to disconnect a slave, is it just the specified slave that is disconnected? Do the other slaves continue to operate without stopping?

Answer



If you disconnect a slave, the slaves connected to the daisy chain after the slave that you specified will also be disconnected at the same time. All other slaves will continue to operate.
