Parameter descriptions

It is intended that it is not necessary to use option module parameters for EtherCAT setup or control
of a drive; parameters are mostly provided for status and information. This means that a user will
configure the motor and feedback in the usual way, using parameters, install an EtherCAT option,
and use CoE; objects to control the drive from that point onwards. Although, with objects which
correspond to drive parameters, it should be possible to perform all drive/motor/feedback
configuration using the EtherCAT interface.
In the following descriptions, S means the option module slot number.
