Process data (PDO)
Process data objects are unconfirmed telegrams with high-profit COB IDs: They are optimized for the exchange
of data with real time requests. In the PDOs, the entire CAN data frame (8 byte) can be used for user data
transmission. The format of the data exchange via PDOs must therefore be defined before the start of commu-
nication between transmitter and receiver (mapping).

The b maXX

Mapping
Mapping is a method of assigning variables/objects to PDOS. These variables/objects are moved across
the CAN bus with the PDOs. Cyclic data exchange is configured by means of the mapping. SDOs are
used for this parameterizing. Mapping is set in the object directory via addressable objects. There are four
such objects for each PDO.
Mapping cannot be changed in the OPERATIONAL state. New mapping will only be activated after switch-
ing to OPERATIONAL.
m
Set value mapping
The permissible cyclical set values are marked in a table with the column ‘PDO mapping’ as ‘RX’. The
b maXX

1000 CANopen can only predefined six thousands object numbers (6xxxx
hex
). The parame-
ter is found in
B.3.3.4 Transmit PDO Mapping Parameter
m
Actual value
The permissible cyclic actual values are marked in a table with the column ‘PDO mapping’ as ‘TX’. The
parameter is found in
B.3.3.4 Transmit PDO Mapping Parameter
from page 199 (for the predefined
six thousands object numbers). The two thousands parameters are the manufacturer- specific param-
eters.
