EtherCAT AL status code

What does 8000 mean?

This error is reported along with a Profile Code in the Mint WorkBench Error Log. The displayed profile code must be converted to hexadecimal to reveal the specific EtherCAT error code. This status indicates that the EtherCAT master has received an error code from the drive (e.g., MotiFlex e100, MotiFlex e180, MicroFlex e190).

• An underlying EtherCAT-specific error reported by the drive to the master.
• Mismatch in EtherCAT configuration parameters between the master and the drive.
• Issues with EtherCAT communication cables or network components (e.g., switches, couplers).
• Invalid or unsupported EtherCAT object dictionary entries being accessed.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Connect to the drive with Mint Workbench and check the Error Log to obtain the associated Profile Code.

2. 2

   Convert the displayed Profile Code from decimal to hexadecimal format to identify the specific EtherCAT error code.

3. 3

   Consult the EtherCAT specification or the drive's EtherCAT documentation for the meaning of the specific hexadecimal error code.

4. 4

   Verify the EtherCAT network cabling and connections for integrity, proper termination, and shielding.

5. 5

   Check the EtherCAT configuration settings on both the master and the drive for consistency and correctness.
