GRT1-series EtherCAT Communication Unit - Operation Manual
2-1 Structure of CAN application protocol
over EtherCAT (CoE)
Multiple protocols can be transferred by EtherCAT. The GRT1-series EtherCAT Communication Unit
uses "CAN application protocol over EtherCAT (CoE)". CoE is a communication interface for EtherCAT
devices, as the device profile of the open network standard "CAN application protocol".
The figure below shows the structure of CoE in the GRT1-series EtherCAT Communication Unit.
The CAN application protocol has a data object dictionary.
There are two types of data objects in this dictionary:
Process Data Objects (PDO)
• Contains Process data
• Composed of objects that can be mapped.
• The process data is defined by PDO mapping.
• PDO is primarily used in PDO communication for cyclic exchange of process data.
Service Data Objects (SDO).
• SDO are used in non-cyclic type SDO (event type messages) communication.
