 | Parameterization via the CoE list (CAN over EtherCAT) The EtherCAT device is parameterized via the CoE - Online tab (with a double click on the respective object) or via the Process Data tab (assignment of PDOs). A detailed description can be found in the EtherCAT System-Documentation in chapter “EtherCAT subscriber configuration” Please note the general CoE notes in the EtherCAT System Documentation in chapter “CoE-interface” when using/manipulating the CoE parameters: | |
Introduction
The CoE overview contains objects for different intended applications:
- Objects required for parameterization during commissioning:
- Profile-specific objects (0x6000-0xFFFF):
- Profile-specific objects have the same meaning for all EtherCAT slaves that support the profile 5001.
- Standard objects (0x1000-0x1FFF) that display internal settings and may not be changeable. The standard objects have the same meaning for all EtherCAT slaves.
The following section first describes the objects required for normal operation, followed by a complete overview of missing objects.
