Parameterization and commissioning
EL6751
131
Version: 3.5
In the last EtherCAT cycle, the synchronous RxPDOs are checked following the expiry of the input shift time
(as in operation with Sync Multiplier = 1). A Sync Multiplier > 1 is ineffective if only asynchronous PDOs are
configured.
Synchronization with SYNC0/SYNC1 event
If distributed clocks are switched on, the CAN cycle would be started by the SYNC0 event. The sending of
the SYNC message is delayed until the SYNC1 event occurs, so that the SYNC message is sent with a jitter
of maximum 500 ns. The remaining sequence of the CAN cycle corresponds to that in the case of
synchronization with SM2 event.

Object description and parameterization
EtherCAT XML Device Description
The display matches that of the CoE objects from the EtherCAT
ommend downloading the latest XML file from the download area of the
and in-
stalling it according to installation instructions.
Parameterization via the CoE list (CAN over EtherCAT)
The EtherCAT device is parameterized via the CoE-Online tab (double-click on the respective ob-
ject) or via the Process Data tab (allocation of PDOs). Please note the following general
when using/manipulating the CoE parameters:
• Keep a startup list if components have to be replaced
• Differentiation between online/offline dictionary, existence of current XML description
• use “CoE reload” for resetting changes
Presentation of the object description with "MDP Mapping“
The following object description uses the "Modular Device Profile Mapping" (MDP) for the mapping
of the terminal information to the process image.

Standard objects (0x1000-0x1FFF)
The standard objects have the same meaning for all EtherCAT slaves.
