About the EtherCAT Slave Interface General Description The EtherCAT Slave Interface for the Anybus X-gateway implements CANopen over EtherCAT, and exchanges up to 512 bytes of data in each direction. The interface acts as a slave node, which means it can be accessed by an EtherCAT master, but it will not initiate communication by itself.

Input Data (Gateway to EtherCAT) Depending on the actual gateway configuration and how it has been set up to operate, parts of the data produced by the EtherCAT Slave Interface may be used to represent status information (i.e. Status Word, Live List etc.).

Input byte 0385 Input byte 0511 Note: The EtherCAT Slave Interface will only create the number of objects and sub-indexes needed to hold the specified data size (e.g. for a configuration which uses 130 byte of input data (PDO+SDO), the Slave Interface creates Object Index 2000h, Sub-Index 00h...
Note 1: For consistency reasons, PDO data will be read-only when accessed acyclically. Note: The EtherCAT Slave Interface will only create the number of objects and sub-indexes needed to hold the specified data size (e.g. for a configuration which uses 130 byte of output data (PDO+SDO), the Slave Interface creates Object Index 2100h, Sub-Index 00h...
