Configuration of SYNC taskPermalink

To create a SYNC task, that is triggered after each SYNC message, several steps are required.

  1. Set the CANopen sync mode to “Sync Bus and Task” on the CM598 communication module.

  2. Enable “SYNC producing” on the CANopen manager.

  3. Set at least one PDO to the transmission type “cyclic synchronous”.

  4. Build the project.

    A new task named “ABB SyncTask <slot>” is created automatically. POUs can be added to this task and are executed when the task is triggered.

Do not change the task settings.
