Object: EtherCAT Slave

The tab contains the slave parameters which are defined in the device description file.

When the auto-configuration mode of the master is selected, the parameters are set here automatically according to the specifications from the description file and the network topology. For standard applications, it is also not normally required to edit them.

“Value”

Only a few parameters are editable. A change is effective only when the auto-configuration mode is disabled.

Basically, the user should not modify anything here because doing so could create an invalid configuration, which would prevent the slave from entering into the operational state.
