Member Function Documentation

disable_all_slaves()

virtual bool EthercatMaster::disable_all_slaves ( )

pure virtual

Switch all slaves to PREOP.

Attention

Must be implemented as non-blocking!

Returns

true on success, false otherwise

Implemented in EthernetMaster, MockMaster, and SoemMaster.

execute()

virtual int32_t EthercatMaster::execute ( uint64_t pending_signals )

pure virtual

Main EtherCAT master loop function to be executed at one millisecond interval.

Returns

error if any

Implemented in EthernetMaster, MockMaster, and SoemMaster.

get_slaves()

virtual std::list< VirtualDevice * > EthercatMaster::get_slaves ( )

pure virtual

Get all of the available slaves.

Returns

map of available slaves

Implemented in EthernetMaster, MockMaster, and SoemMaster.

get_slaves_responding()

virtual int EthercatMaster::get_slaves_responding ( )

pure virtual

Return the number of slaves actually responding on the bus.

Returns

number of responding slaves

Implemented in EthernetMaster, MockMaster, and SoemMaster.

is_running()

virtual bool EthercatMaster::is_running ( )

pure virtual

Check if the EtherCAT master is currently running.

Returns

true if currently running, false otherwise

Implemented in EthernetMaster, MockMaster, and SoemMaster.

restart()

virtual size_t EthercatMaster::restart ( )

pure virtual

Restart the EtherCAT master.

This function deactivates the master (and slaves) and activates it again

Returns

the number of responding slaves

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

Implemented in EthernetMaster, MockMaster, and SoemMaster.

start()

virtual size_t EthercatMaster::start ( )

pure virtual

Start the EtherCAT master.

Returns

the number of initially responding slaves

Implemented in EthernetMaster, MockMaster, and SoemMaster.

stop()

virtual void EthercatMaster::stop ( )

pure virtual

Stop the EtherCAT master.

Implemented in EthernetMaster, MockMaster, and SoemMaster.
