Mapping the bus resources.
The mapping consists of allocating among the available resources in the bus and the PLC
resources (inputs, outputs or registers). The digital inputs and outputs are mapped to
resources of the same type in the PLC. Analog inputs and outputs are mapped to PLC
registers.
Fagor has the "Fagor EtherCAT Mapper" program to carry out the mapping. From the ENI
file generated by the EtherCAT configurator, this program makes a mapping proposal. The
user can accept this proposal or perform the necessary modifications, all in a way that helps
ensure there are no duplicated resources. Once the mapping is completed, this software
creates a file with the description of the routing. This file must be copied to the folder
../Mtb/Data of the CNC with the name "resourceRouterConf.xml".
