Introduction
The CODESYS Safety for EtherCAT Safety Module package provides function blocks with defined functionality especially for you as a programmer. The functions can be configured in part by means of additional parameter inputs. The inputs and outputs of a function block can be the inputs and outputs of the local process image, but also the outputs of function blocks can be connected with inputs of other function blocks.
Tip
The function blocks are developed by Beckhoff and are implemented in the EtherCAT Safety Module.
The following description of the function blocks is based on the documentation from Beckhoff.
