8.1.3 Configuring PDO transmission
PDO channels are able to transmit control and status information in real time as well as actual and set values from an
EtherCAT master to EtherCAT slaves and vice versa.
PDO communication allows for 4 PDO channels to be operated simultaneously per transmission and sending direction. A
maximum of 6 parameters can be transmitted in a defined sequence per channel. The process data can be configured in
any way.
In order to guarantee error-free communication between the controller and drive controller, STOBER offers application-
dependent pre-assignment of the channels which can be changed at any time.
