This function must be called after a successful execution of EthercatMaster::begin(). This function is non-blocking and can be called in callback functions if the related object is mapped to PDO.

Example Code

#include "Ethercat.h"

EthercatMaster master;
EthercatDevice_CiA402 motor; 

void setup() {
  master.begin(); 
  motor.attach(0, master);
  motor.setCiA402Mode(CIA402_TQ_MODE);
  master.start(); 
  
  motor.enable(); 
} 

void loop() { 
  motor.tq_SetTorqueProfileType(0);
  motor.tq_SetTorqueSlope(200);
  motor.tq_SetMotorRatedTorque(0);
  motor.tq_SetMotorRatedCurrent(0);
  motor.tq_Run(50); 
  while (motor.tq_IsTargetReached() == 0);
  delay(3000);
  motor.tq_SetTorqueProfileType(0);
  motor.tq_SetTorqueSlope(200);
  motor.tq_SetMotorRatedTorque(0);
  motor.tq_SetMotorRatedCurrent(0);
  motor.tq_Run(-50); 
  while (motor.tq_IsTargetReached() == 0);
  delay(3000); 
}
