6.4 Communication
6.4.1 CoE reference model
CoE network reference model consists of the data link layer and application layer. The data
link layer is responsible for EtherCAT communication protocol. CANopen drive Profile (DS402)
communication rules are embedded in the application layer. The object dictionary in CoE
includes the parameters, application data, and PDO mapping configuration information.
PDOs are composed of the objects (in the object dictionary) that can perform PDO mapping.
The content in PDO data is defined by PDO mapping. PDO data is periodically read and
written, which does not require searching the object dictionary. Mail box communication (SDO)
is not periodic, which requires searching the object dictionary.
Note: To parse SDO and PDO data correctly on the EtherCAT data link layer, it is necessary
to configure FMMU and Sync Manager (SM).
