IApi.Start method

Starts the KINGSTAR Subsystem. This creates an EtherCAT connection at the same time.

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

Syntax

KsCommandStatus Start()

Function Start() As KsCommandStatus

Return value

Returns the KsCommandStatus class.

Remarks

Use this method to start the KINGSTAR Subsystem after initializing and setting the parameters.
It has the same effect as you use RequestState to request the EtherCAT state Op (ecatOP).
Start scans the devices on an EtherCAT network while Restart doesn't, so it is slower than Restart.
Some hardware may require more than 30 seconds to be started when ConfigureDc's CheckStatus is true.

Usable EtherCAT states
