Reception Buffer Overflow

Omron · SYSMAC N-Smart Series Library

What does 16#1803 - 16#00000000 mean?

The data received from an EtherCAT slave exceeded the capacity of the assigned reception buffer, leading to data loss. This occurs when the incoming data rate or size is greater than the buffer can handle.

Common Causes

  • The size of the reception buffer is too small to accommodate the incoming data from the EtherCAT slave.
  • The EtherCAT slave is sending a larger volume of data than configured for the master's buffer.
