Assigning PDOs
Scheme for Assigning PDOs to EtherCAT Slaves
You can assign more than one PDO to an EtherCAT slave.
Here, PDOs are assigned to index 1C12 hex for the RxPDO, and 1C13 hex for the TxPDO.
The following example shows how PDOs are assigned.

In this example, three PDOs (PDO A, PDO B, and PDO D) are assigned to index 1C13 hex (for the TxPDOs).
Similarly, a PDO (for the RxPDO) is assigned to index 1C12 hex.
These assignments determine the PDOs to use for communications between the EtherCAT master and
slave.
