Startup

The Startup tab is displayed if the EtherCAT slave has a mailbox and supports the mailbox protocol "CAN application protocol over EtherCAT" (CoE) or the mailbox protocol "Servo Drive over EtherCAT" (SoE). This tab indicates which download requests are sent to the mailbox during startup. It is also possible to add new mailbox requests to the list display. The download requests are sent to the slave in the same order as they are shown in the list.
