Notes

- The state machine defines the EtherCAT communication states (Init, Pre-Op, Sync, Op, etc.). - The transition from one state to the next is controlled by the master. - The state table shows the required actions and the status for each state. - Refer to the configuration page for the setup of the gateway in the EtherCAT network.
