2. Terms and Definition

Terms Explanation and Definition

PDO

Communications

(Communications

using Process Data

objects)

This method is used for cyclic data exchange between the master unit

and the slave units.

PDO data (i.e., I/O data that is mapped to PDOs) that is allocated in

advance is refreshed periodically each EtherCAT process data

communications cycle (i.e., the period of primary periodic task).

The NJ-series Machine Automation Controller uses process data

communications for commands to refresh I/O data in a fixed control

period, including I/O data for EtherCAT Slave Units, and the position

control data for the Servomotors.

It is accessed from the NJ-series Machine Automation Controller in the

following ways.

•With device variables for EtherCAT slave I/O

•With Axis Variables for Servo Drive and encoder input slaves to which

assigned as an axis

SDO

Communications

(Communications

using Service Data

objects)

This method is used to read and write the specified slave unit data from

the master unit when required.

The NJ-series Machine Automation Controller uses SDO

communications for commands to read and write data, such as for

parameter transfers, at specified times.

The NJ-series Machine Automation Controller can read/write the

specified slave data (parameters and error information, etc.) with the

EC_CoESDORead (Read CoE SDO) instruction or the

EC_CoESDOWrite (Write CoE SDO) instruction.

Slave There are various types of slaves such as Servo Drives that handle

position data and I/O terminals that control the bit signals.

The slave receives output data sent from the master, and transmits

input data to the master.

Node address An address to identify the unit connected to EtherCAT.

ESI file

(EtherCAT Slave

Information file)

The ESI files contain information unique to the EtherCAT slaves in XML

format.

Install an ESI file into the Sysmac Studio, to allocate slave process data

and make other settings.
