Overview panel

For an overview of an ecmc system, the ecmcMain.ui panel is a good starting point. The ecmcMain.ui covers most parts of an ecmc system:

  • ecmc_rt thread diagnostics:
    • Jitter
    • Cycle time
  • EtherCAT:
    • Status
    • Lost frames
    • Slave count
    • master Id
    • Links to dedicated sub panels for each slave type.
  • Links to all configured objects:
    • motion expert panels
    • PLC objects
    • plugin objects
    • data storage objects

The panel is started with the following syntax:

caqtdm -macro "IOC=<ioc_name>" ecmcMain.ui
