EnableAutoRestart
Allows for auto-restart to be enabled. Following a cable disconnected, if auto-restart is enabled, the EtherCAT master restarts automatically after a cable is plugged in.
Syntax
KsError EnableAutoRestart(
BOOL Active
);
Parameters
Active: TRUE to enable, and FALSE to disable auto-restart. By default, it is TRUE.
Return value
If the function succeeds, it returns errNoError
, otherwise an error code. For more information about the error code, see the KsError list.
Remarks
- This function must be called after Create and before Start.
-
For more information about how HotConnect, AutoRepair, and AutoRestart work, see Concepts > HotConnect, Repair, and Restart.
Usable EtherCAT states
