Process data objects (PDO)
CANopen transfers the process data using "Process Data Objects" (PDO). There are send
PDOs (TDPO) and receive PDOs (RPDO). CAN controller and inverter each exchange up to
eight TPDOs and RPDOs.
PDO communication parameters and PDO mapping parameters define a PDO.
Link the PDO with the elements of the object directory that contain the process data.
