Dynamic mode
In
Dynamic mode
the CoE object dictionary contains an exact reflection of the
RT
-
FDB channels that were selected for “EtherCAT
®
publishing”. Dynamic
mode means that the CoE exactly follows the user defined published channels.
The resulting ESI file also contains exactly these channels. As consequence
each change in channel name or adding/removing of published channels (e.g.
when loading a different virtual workbench) is reflected in the ESI file.
Figure 11.70 shows an example of a Dynamic mode configuration.

HINT/TIP
Use the Dynamic mode when the setup is always the same (single virtual
workbench) or when the EtherCAT
®
master can handle changing ESI files as
part of the workflow. If the EtherCAT
®
bus load should be minimized (reduce
PDO address space), the Dynamic mode is also the best mode to use.
