EtherCAT Communications Types
and Settings
3-1-1
CoE (CAN Application Protocol over EtherCAT)
The EtherCAT port built into the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit uses CoE (CAN application protocol over
EtherCAT) to exchange information with slaves over EtherCAT.
CoE implements message communications of CAN application over an EtherCAT network.
With CoE, the parameters and control information held by the slaves are specified according to data
specifications for the object dictionary.
Process Data Communications and SDO Communications
There are two communications that are used to communicate data between the master and slaves.
These are described below.
Process Data Communications
Communications using process data objects (PDOs) to exchange information in realtime with a fixed
period.
SDO communications
Communications using service data objects (SDOs) for communicating information when required.

The EtherCAT port built into the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit uses process data communications for com-
mands to refresh I/O data in a fixed control period, including I/O data for EtherCAT slaves, and posi-
tion control data for Servomotors. It uses SDO communications for commands to read and write data,
such as for parameter transfers, at specified times.
Process data communications are executed each control cycle to refresh data continuously, and SDO
communications are executed between PDO communications.
