Process Data
The process data selection in the System Manager specifies the operation mode of the EL2522.
The process data are entered individually by hand or as "Predefined PDO Assignment" via the "Process Data" tab.
When selecting the EL2522 in the System Manager, the appropriate operation mode can be selected in accordance with the table above by clicking on the "Process Data" tab and selecting the predefined PDO assignments.

Eight process data sets are available for the EL2522 and are listed in following table on the basis of the CoE objects used.

Process data setting options
The extent of process data can be set via the Process Data tab as described below (2-level incremental encoder settings are presented only):
PDO setting: 1 Ch. Standard 16 Bit (MDP 253/511)
- preset standard configuration in TwinCAT 2.11, TwinCAT 3
- so-called compact process image since it has only 16-bit-wide variables
- allows linking to NC axes according to MDP 253, subprofile 511
- C-track within output mode incremental encoder

PDO setting: 1 Ch. Standard 32 Bit (MDP 253/511), continues position
- 32-bit-wide variables
- allows linking to NC axes according to MDP 253, subprofile 511
- continuous positioning / output cycles cycle-synchronous
- Additional output of C-track with incremental encoder output mode (single mode only)

PDO setting: 2 Ch. Standard 32 Bit (MDP 253/511), continues position
- 32-bit-wide variables
- allows linking to NC axes according to MDP 253, subprofile 511
- continuous positioning / output pulses cycle-synchronously
- double operation mode

PDO setting: 2 Ch. Standard 32 Bit (MDP 253/511), continues position w. arrival time
- 32-bit-wide variables
- allows linking to NC axes according to MDP 253, subprofile 511
- continuous positioning / output pulses cycle-synchronously
- specification of arrival time
- double operation mode
