Tab: EtherCAT Slave

The tab display the FMMUs and Sync Manager of the EtherCAT Slave as defined in the device description file. The FFMUs and Sync Managers can be edited, for example, for configuring slave-to-slave communication.

Requirement: The auto-configuration mode of the EtherCAT Master is disabled.

These expert settings are generally not required for standard applications.
