Commands will be issued via SDO communication in PP (Profile Position) mode. In this mode,
EtherCAT master sends the position, speed and acceleration related parameters to the motion
axis. When all commands are issued, the motion axis starts working and will be controlled by the
servo drive and pulse module. It can achieve real-time control. However, it does not support
multi-axis interpolation.
