Select one of the five available PDOs for each data transfer direction (input and output)
with the appropriate size for the used process data in the EtherCAT network configura-
tion tool.
Only one input PDO and one output PDO can be active at any time.
If the selected PDO is greater than the process data configured, unused data will be
filled with zeroes.
If the selected PDO is smaller than the process data configured, excess data will be
truncated.
Example — How to select the PDOs using TwinCAT:
Under the
Process Data
file card, select the desired PDO type (
Inputs
or
Outputs
) in the
Sync Manager
selection list.
Then select the desired PDO in the
PDO Assignment
selection list. In order to change
the PDO you need to deselect the active one first.
In the
Download
area, select
PDO Assignment
but leave
PDO Configuration
unchecked
since the PDO configuration is predefined and can not be changed.
