Tab: EtherCAT Slave – Start Parameters

On the tab, 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 determined for the device when the system is started.

The object directory with the required data objects is described in the EtherCAT XML description file or in an EDS file that is referenced in the XML file.

Requirement: The device supports 'CAN over EtherCAT' or 'Servodrive over EtherCAT'.

TIP:

Some modules that are 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.

The order (from top to bottom) specifies the order in which the objects are transferred to the module.
