Tab 'EtherCAT Slave - Process Data'

Object: EtherCAT Slave

The tab of the EtherCAT configurator displays the process data for the inputs and outputs of the slave. The data is preset from the device description file.

Table 359: “Select the Outputs”
The table shows the outputs of the slave defined by “Start address”, “Type”, and “Index”. If outputs of the device are enabled here (for writing), then these outputs can be assigned to project variables in the “EtherCAT I/O Mapping” dialog.

Table 360: “Select the Inputs”
The table shows the inputs of the slave defined by “Name”, “Type”, and “Index”. If inputs of the device are enabled here (for reading), then these inputs can be assigned to project variables in the “EtherCAT I/O Mapping” dialog.
