Changing the cycle sequence
For cycle times < 1 ms, change the cycle sequence of the application to RxPDO, TxPDO, graphical programming (A149 = 1). The following example shows a synchronization with a changed
cycle sequence. The frame jitter (controller) and application jitter (drive controller) are separated and synchronization is stable.
