That's really up to the specific slave, so you'll have to check its
documentation. EtherCAT as a network transport has no particular limitation,
other than it can't be slower than 1 Hz or you'll cause problems with 32-bit DC
ambiguity. Having said that, a 1ms cycle is considered "typical" and
Hi Gavin,
Thanks for your reply,
I'm using CPC TC-1, which is using LAN9252 slave controller, with
64-bit DC capable (Distributed clocks: yes, 64 bit),
IgH 1.5.2 w/ all unofficial patches, and using option 2 you mention
(ecrt_master_reference_clock_time, Beckoff refer as Master mode, rtdm

Hi all,
Usually, DC will need a cycle time at 1ms or lower,
but we don't need a cycle time that fast, we only need 20Hz ~ 50Hz,
is that possible for DC?
For what I test on my driver (LAN9252), if the cycle time drop below
200Hz, it will unable to make the driver bring up from PREOP to OP,
