Tab: EtherCAT Slave – Start Parameters Permalink

This tab defines the SDOs (Service Data objects) for CAN over EtherCAT (CoE) or the IDNs (Identification Numbers) for Servodrive over EtherCAT' (SoE) are defined for the current slave. These parameters are transferred to the device during system startup.

The object directionary containing the required data objects is described in the EtherCAT XML description file or in an EDS file referenced by the XML file.

Requirement: The device supports CAN over EtherCAT (CoE) or Servodrive over EtherCAT (SoE).

Some modules inserted below a slave have their own startup parameters. These parameters are also displayed in this list but cannot be edited here. The parameters are modified in the editor of the corresponding module.
