EC_API_SLV_PDO_addPadding()

uint32_t EC_API_SLV_PDO_addPadding	(	EC_API_SLV_SHandle_t *	pEcSlaveApi_p,
		EC_API_SLV_SPdo_t *	pPdo_p,
		uint8_t	length_p
	)

Add padding to the PDO.

The process data can be mapped bitwise, however it can lead into alignment issues. This function add a desired padding to the process data.

Parameters

[in]	pEcSlaveApi_p	The pointer to the EtherCAT API instance.
[in]	pPdo_p	The pointer to the PDO.
[in]	length_p	Length of the padding in bits.

Returns

uint32_t Returns the API error code.

Example

#include <ecSlvApi.h>
 
// required variables
uint32_t retVal = 0;
 
// the Call
retVal = EC_API_SLV_PDO_addPadding(pEcSlaveApi_p, pPdo_p, length_p)
