EtherCAT:EC SDO WRITE
This function allows writing integer values of sizes 8, 16 and 32 bits.
To communicate with a specific slave, use its address and the functions EC_SDO_READ, EC_SDO_WRITE.
EC_SDO_WRITE sends data to the slave over a specific SDO. You must specify the SDO index, sub-index, size, and the new value to write to the slave.
The first sub-index is 0. If the object has only one sub-index, you must still specify 0 (this field cannot be omitted).
Input
Slave address, SDO index, SDO sub-index, SDO size in bits, the new value to be written.
Output
None
Return Value
Void
Declaration
public sub EC_SDO_WRITE(byval slaveaddress as long, byval index as long, byval subindex as long,byval size_bits as long, byval new_val as long)
Syntax
call EC_SDO_WRITE(<Slave address>, <SDO index>, <SDO sub-index>, <SDO size in bits>, <new value>)
Exceptions
