Each data set that CAN application protocol over EtherCAT (CoE) devices have such as control parameters,
command values, and feedback values is handled as an object composed of an Index value, object name,
object type, R/W attribute, and other elements. The object data can be exchanged between the master and
slave devices. The aggregate of these objects is called object dictionary (OD).
18.1.5.1 Section definition of object dictionary
In the CAN application protocol over EtherCAT (CoE) standard, objects of the object dictionary are
categorized by Index depending on the area type as shown in the following table. Refer to the Reference
column for the chapters and the section where the details of each object are described.
18.1.5.2 Saving object dictionary data to EEP-ROM
There are two types of object dictionary data: One is saved to EEP-ROM and another is not saved. Refer to
Section 7.3 for the availability and details of save for each object.
