EtherCAT Insensitive time to network error

If the Communication check of EtherCAT communication starts too early after the Robot controller startup, an error [8350200B Prepare for field network communication] might be displayed immediately after booting.
To prevent such error, adjust "EtherCAT Insensitive time to network error" of Fieldbus parameter longer.

EtherCAT ErrDisplay

This parameter allows you to choose whether the network error will display in "every time" or is display at the "first time" only.

This parameter is set to "0" (EveryTime) by default for safe operation of the facilities. Every time an I/O operation is carried out, an error will display if any.

To check program operations using dummy I/Os for setting up facilities where no connection to the network has been established, set this parameter to "1" (First Time). Doing so will not display errors once detected, allowing you to check program operations.
