7.5 Aborted run when the master fails
If the connection to the master is interrupted during a positioning run, the master
cannot abort a run that is already underway. In order to generate an automatic run
abort in this case, there is the option of timeout monitoring by the Sync Manager
Watchdog which is implemented in the EtherCAT master: If the HIPERDRIVE Hub or
adapter does not receive a SYNC event within a specified time, it will command an
abort of any positioning to all connected drives.
