Api.Start method

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

Namespace: IntervalZero.KINGSTAR.Local.Api

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

Syntax

public KsCommandStatus Start()

Public Function Start() As KsCommandStatus

Return value

Type: KsCommandStatus

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.
