Settings for MDP-compatible Slaves from Other Manufacturers
The MDP (Modular Device Profile) defines the data structure for the settings in EtherCAT slaves. It is
an EtherCAT specification. You can use slaves that support MDPs from other manufacturers on the
EtherCAT Tab Page.
There are two sets of settings, slave and module, for MDP-compatible slaves.
The setting items and setting procedure for MDP-compatible slaves with the Sysmac Studio are de-
scribed below.
