IApi.Restart method

Restarts the EtherCAT master.

Assembly: IntervalZero.KINGSTAR.Base.Api (in IntervalZero.KINGSTAR.Base.dll) Version: 4.4.0.0

Syntax

KsCommandStatus Restart()

Function Restart() As KsCommandStatus

Return value

Returns the KsCommandStatus class.

Remarks

If auto-restart is disabled, use this method to manually restart the EtherCAT master. This method doesn't break the link with applications. It restarts the EtherCAT master and all slaves but keeps the configuration. It assumes the slaves are identical. PDOs are frozen during the restart but won't be reset.
Restart doesn't scan the devices on an EtherCAT network so it is faster than Start.

Usable EtherCAT states

ecatOP
