Editable PDOs
This section lists all of the PDOs which may be edited.
- PDOs may be created (Add PDO), modified (Edit PDO), or removed from the project (Delete PDO).
- See the EtherCAT device-specific documentation for more details.
The Input (Tx) and Output (Rx) PDOs are grouped separately. Each PDO table contains this information:
Name |
Description |
---|---|
Index |
Identification value for the PDO. The range is defined by the EtherCAT specification.
|
Name |
Text label to identify the PDO. The name is provided either by the device vendor or user. It can be changed by the user. |
Size [bytes] |
Total length for the PDO object(s) data. |
User Modified |
Yes: Indicates the user has changed the PDO or its content. No: Indicates the PDO is the default provided by the device vendor. |
The KAS-IDE compiler enforces restrictions on the sizes of individual PDOs as well as on the sum of the sizes of PDOs.
See PDO Restrictions and Compiler Errors for more information.
