PDO Mapping

PDO Auto Mapping configurator feature allows the user to automatically generate parametrization to match desired PDOs (Process Data Object) data exchange. It is possible to enable PDO Auto Mapping configuration only if slave node support Variable PDO mapping.Variable PDO mapping is the CANopen feature in which master sends configuration SDO to configure PDOs objects to be exchanged.In Generic slave this field is always checkable. User must know if slave actually support Variable PDO mapping.In Custom slave this field is available only if Variable PDO mapping is actually supported by slave.If PDO Auto Mapping is checked:

• Configurator automatically generates parametrization SDO to configure PDOs data ex- change.
• Configuration is generated to configure what is entered into PDO Tx – Input and PDO Rx – Output grids.
• Only objects involved in PDOs data exchange configuration are automatically changed.
• Other parametrization objects are not affected.

If PDO Auto Mapping is unchecked:

• Configurator do not modify current parametrization generated at the time.

N.B.: If you need to modifiy SDOs sequence in Parametrization, add some other param object into this sequence for any reason remember to uncheck PDO Auto Mapping.
