According EDS file
This parameter indicates the mapped objects in the SCW100 starter manager receive PDOs. The default value of
these objects is indicated in the product’s EDS file. It is possible to map up to 4 different objects for each RPDO,
provided that the total length does not exceed eight bytes. The mapping of an object is done indicating its index,
sub-index
and size (in bits) in an UNSIGNED32, field with the following format:
UNSIGNED32
Index (16 bits)
Sub-index (8 bits)
Objects size (8 bits)
For instance, analyzing the receive PDO standard mapping, we have:
Sub-index 0 = 3:
This PDO has three mapped objects.
Sub-index 1 = 244C.0010h:
the first mapped object has an index equal to 244Ch, sub-index 0 (zero), and a
size of 16 bits. This object corresponds to the parameter P1100 - Forward Start Command.
Sub-index 2 = 2451.0010h:
the second mapped object has an index equal to 2451h, sub-index 0 (zero), and a
size of 16 bits. This object corresponds to the parameter P1105 - Reverse Start Command.
Sub-index 3 = 2456.0010h:
the second mapped object has an index equal to 2456h, sub-index 0 (zero), and a
size of 16 bits. This object corresponds to the parameter P1110 - Stop Command.
It is possible to modify this mapping by changing the quantity or the number of mapped objects. Remembering that
only 4 objects or 8 bytes can be mapped at maximum.

NOTE!
In order to change the mapped objects in a PDO, it is first necessary to write the value 0 (zero) in
the sub-index 0 (zero). In that way the values of the sub-indexes 1 to 4 can be changed. After
the desired mapping has been done, one must write again in the sub-index 0 (zero) the number of
objects that have been mapped, enabling again the PDO.
Do not forget that PDOs can only be received if the device is in the operational state.
8.3.3 Transmit PDOs
The transmit PDOs, or TPDOs, as the name says, are responsible for transmitting data for the CANopen network. The
starter manager SCW100 starter manager has 5 transmit PDOs, each one being able to transmit up to 8 data bytes.
In a manner similar to RPDOs, each TPDO has two parameters for its configuration, a PDO_COMM_PARAMETER
and a PDO_MAPPING, as described next.
PDO_COMM_PARAMETER

If the object is of the VAR type and does not have sub-index, the value 0 (zero) must be indicated for the sub-index.
