SDO scheduling

PDOs data exchange transmission mode is scheduled by CANopen standard with well de- fined and strict rules.Master, together with slave supported feature, define PDOs data exchange but it is not always possible to use PDOs as the only way to exchange data between master and slave.This is the case is which slave has a static configuration but application requires to read or set other parameters values cyclically or when desired.Other possible case is a lot of data must be read or written by max slave PDOs supported is reached.In these cases it is possible to use SDO instead of PDO to read/write values with the slave. SDO scheduling is used to configure this data exchange method via SDOs instead of PDOs.This kind of data exchange is not deterministic and at lower priority that PDOs data exchange configuration.Scheduler run a sort of loop over all the SDO to exchange and continues in this way pro- cessing one request at the time.N.B.: this kind of functionality is not always availableClick on SDO Scheduling tab, the grid in which enter scheduling for read/write operations via SDO will be shown.
