Sync Manager (SM)
The scope of process data offered can be modified via the "Process Data" tab (see Fig. EL5101 - Process Data tab SM3, (Legacy) below).
- 1. In order to configure the process data, select the desired Sync Manager (SM2 and SM3 can be edited here) in the upper left-hand "Sync Manager" field (see fig. below).
- 2. The process data assigned to this Sync Manager can then be switched on or off in the “PDO Assignment” box underneath.
- 3. Restarting the EtherCAT system, or reloading the configuration in configuration mode (F4), causes the EtherCAT communication to restart, and the process data is transferred from the terminal.
A detailed description for setting the process data can be found in chapter Process Data tab.
