Typical Relationships for the Built-in EtherCAT Error Flags
Note The values of all system-defined variables that are related to errors in EtherCAT communications do not
change until the cause of the error is removed and then the error in the Controller is reset with the trouble-
shooting functions of the Sysmac Studio or the ResetECError instruction.
