CIP configuration error

What does 8001 mean?

This error is reported along with a Profile Code in the Mint WorkBench Error Log, which must be converted to hexadecimal to reveal the specific CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) general status code. This indicates that the EtherCAT master has received a CIP error code from the drive.

• An underlying CIP-specific error reported by the drive to the EtherCAT master.
• Incorrect CIP configuration parameters, such as device IDs, instance numbers, or data mappings, between the master and the drive.
• Issues with the EtherCAT communication infrastructure affecting CIP message integrity.
• Incompatible CIP services or objects being requested by the master.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Connect to the drive with Mint Workbench and check the Error Log for the associated Profile Code.

2. 2

   Convert the displayed Profile Code from decimal to hexadecimal format to identify the specific CIP general status code.

3. 3

   Consult the CIP specification or the drive's documentation for the meaning of the specific hexadecimal CIP error code.

4. 4

   Verify the CIP configuration settings, including device IDs, instance numbers, and data mapping, on both the EtherCAT master and the drive.

5. 5

   Inspect the EtherCAT network connections for stability and reliability, as CIP communication relies on the underlying EtherCAT layer.
