EtherCAT AL status code (_ecETHERCAT_AL_STATUSCODE)

What does 8000 mean?

This is a general EtherCAT Application Layer (AL) status code, indicating that the EtherCAT master received an error code from the drive. The specific fault is detailed by an associated Profile Code in the Mint WorkBench Error Log, which needs to be converted to hexadecimal for interpretation. Without resolving the underlying EtherCAT error, the drive will not communicate correctly, preventing coordinated motion.
