Adapt process image (EP1819-0005, EP1839-0022, EP1839-0042)
You can set which process data objects are transferred in the process image of an EtherCAT device. This can be useful for the following reasons:
- Activate additional process data objects to control sub-functions that are not activated in the factory setting.
- Remove unused process data objects from the process image.
There are two ways to adapt the process image:
- (recommended) Select an existing "Predefined PDO Assignment".
"Predefined PDO Assignments" are useful predefined combinations of process data objects. See chapter Setting a Predefined PDO Assignment. - Enable or disable individual process data objects.
See chapter Enabling individual process data objects.
An overview of the Predefined PDO Assignments and process data objects can be found in chapter Process image - EP1839-0022, EP1839-0042.
