13.9.2 PDO Communication
•
FP7 MC Unit can perform SDO communication and PDO communication using CoE
(CANopen over EtherCAT) protocol as a communication method with slave devices.
•
PDO (Process Data Object) communication is a function to perform the communication
between a master (FP7 MC Unit) and slave devices for each EtherCAT communication cycle.
However, CoE objects (objects allocated to Receive PDO mapping) used for the motion
control operation in FP7 MC Unit cannot be used.
•
Objects allocated to Transmit PDO mapping can be monitored in the TxPDo communication
area.
