Tab ‘EtherCAT Slave - Startup Parameters’¶
Object: EtherCAT slave
The SDOs (Service Data Objects) or IDNs that transmit specified parameters to the device at the system start are defined for the current slave in this tab.
The object directory with the required data objects is described in the EtherCAT-ML description file or in an EDS file which is referenced in the XML file.
Requirement: The device supports CAN over EtherCAT or Servodrive over EtherCAT
Note
Some modules that are inserted below a slave have their own startup parameters. These parameters are then also shown in this list but cannot be edited here. The parameters are changed in the editor of the corresponding module.
List of the SDOs or IDNs The order (from top to bottom) in the SDO table specifies the order in which the SDOs are transferred to the module. |
|
Line | Line number |
Idn | |
Bit length | Bit length of the SDO |
Abort on error | ![]() |
Jump to line on error | ![]() |
Next line | ![]() |
Comment | Input field for comment |
Move up | Moves the selected line upwards by 1 line |
Move down | Moves the selected line downwards by 1 line |
Add | Opens the dialog Select an entry from the object directory. In this dialog you can change the parameters of the SDO before the SDO is added to the configuration. By specifying new index/subindex entries, a new object can be added to the SDO that is not yet described in the EDS file. This is useful if only an incomplete object directory or none at all is present. |
Delete | Deletes the entry that is presently selected. |
Change | Opens the dialog Select an entry from the object directory in order to change the parameters of the selected SDOs or IDNs in the table |
Servodrive over EtherCAT
List of the available object directory entries as defined in the XML file. | |
Idn column | |
Basic value column | Basic value of the IDN, Editable, (open with double-click) |
Input fields | |
IDN |

PSet | By specifying new PSeT/Offset entries, a new object can be added to the IDN that is not yet described in the XML file. This is useful if only an incomplete object directory or none at all is present. |
Offset | By specifying new PSet/Offset entries, a new object can be added to the IDN that is not yet described in the XML file. This is useful if only an incomplete object directory or none at all is present. |
Bit length | Selection list for the selection of the bit length |
Value | Selection list for the selection of the value |
Channel | This drop-down list is automatically displayed if the object has several sub-objects |

Name | Input field for displaying and changing the name |
Index: 16# | Selection list for changing the index By specifying new index/subindex entries, a new object can be added to the SDO that is not yet described in the EDS file. |
SubIndex: 16# | Selection list for changing the subindex By specifying new index/subindex entries, a new object can be added to the SDO that is not yet described in the EDS file. |
