Sync Manager (SM)

The scope of the offered process data can be changed via the “Process Data” tab (see illustration below).

1. To configure the process data, select the desired Sync Manager in the upper-left field “Sync Manager” (see the figure below). (SM2 and SM3 can be edited here).

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 Config mode (F4), causes the EtherCAT communication to restart, and the process data is transferred from the terminal.

For a detailed description of how to configure the process data, see the “EtherCAT subscriber configuration” chapter in the EtherCAT System Manual.
