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.
Usable EtherCAT states
ecatOffline
Example
BOOL StartKingstar() {
//Launch or connect to the KINGSTAR Subsystem process
KsError nRet = errNoError;
nRet = Create(INSTANCE, 0);
SubsystemStatus Subsystem = { ecatOffline, ecatOffline, 0, 0, 0,
{ecatOffline}, {ecatOffline}, {axisOffline} };
GetStatus(&Subsystem, NULL);
if (Subsystem.State == ecatOP) {
RtPrintf("Subsystem already started: %x\n", nRet);
return TRUE;
}
else if (Subsystem.State != ecatOffline) {
RtPrintf("Subsystem in unexpected state: %d\n", Subsystem.State);
return FALSE;
}

}
SlaveStatus axisDefinition = { "Simulated Axis", 0 };

//Start the EtherCAT network
//This function is asynchronous so the network is not started yet when it returns
