Service Data Objects
(SDO)
Nearly all the settings of MultiControl (except for the bus type) can be changed via acyclic
communication. This communication corresponds to the Service Data Objects (SDO) of the
CANopen protocol. Access can be established via the functions RDREC and WRREC in
accordance with IEC 61131-3.
The SDOs are divided into indexes and subindexes. During the configuration via EtherCAT
systems, index and subindex are separated by a colon (e.g. index 0x4700, subindex A becomes
0x4700:0A). For access via PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, index and subindex must be added (e.g.
index 0x4700, subindex A becomes 0x470A).
Indexes of the individual functions see "Acyclical data", page50.
Magnetic sensor
The following functions can be executed with the help of the magnetic sensor:
• Set sensors
• Set bus type
• Perform Teach-In procedure
• Switch LED indicators on or off
• Reset MultiControl to factory settings
A magnet is required to operate the magnetic sensor (see "Accessories", page43). The
magnetic sensor is located at the top side of MultiControl, between the two "Rs" of the
"INTERROLL" label just in front of the rear plate (see "Structure", page11).
4 Hold the magnet at the magnetic sensor.
When the magnetic sensor recognizes the magnet, the "Fault" LED is permanently lit.
After 1 second, running lights start on the LED bar on the left side of MultiControl. Every LED
is assigned a function (see table below).
