Communications State Transitions
The EtherCAT State Machine (ESM) indicates the state transition model of EtherCAT Slave Unit
communications control. It is controlled by EtherCAT Master Unit.
The following figure shows the communications state transitions from power ON.
E3NW-ECT can’t trance the state of Operational, when amplifier does not exist.

SDO (message) communications are
possible in this state.
This state is entered after initialization has
been completed. It is used to initialize
network settings.

Possible
Possible
Not
possible.
In this state, PDO transmissions are possible
in addition to SDO (message)
communications.
PDO sendings can be used to send
information such as status from the Slave
Unit.
Operational (Op)
Possible

Possible
Normal communication state
PDO communications can be used to control
the I/O data.
