CoE communication area
The first set of objects specify general communication settings.
Table 6-6 Device type object
0x1000
Device type
Access: RO
Dependent on drive type / mode (see
Default:
description).
PDO Mappable: No
The primary CoE functional profile is CiA402, so the value of this object is defined as follows:
Bits 0 to 15 (Device Profile Number): 402
Bit 16 (Frequency Converter): x
Description:
Bit 17 (Servo Drive): y
Bit 18 (Stepper Motor): 0
Bit 24 (DC Drive - Control Techniques specific): 0
Bits 25-31 (Manufacturer specific): 0
The device type value will be dependent on the drive operating mode and/or type. Bit 16 & 17
On High Performance drives in the open-loop, RFC-A or Regen modes or on General Purpose
drives, bit 16 will be set, while bit 17 will be clear. On High Performance drives in RFC-S mode, bit
17 will be set, while bit 16 will be clear.
Table 6-7 Manufacturer Device Name
0x1008
Manufacturer Device Name
Access: RO
Default:
"SI-EtherCAT"
PDO Mappable: No
A string of characters that represents the name of the Ethernet interface (either SI-EtherCAT or
Description:
FF-EtherCAT). If a Safety Module is also fitted to the drive and FSoE enabled, the device name
becomes "SI-EtherCAT with FSoE".
Table 6-8 Manufacturer Hardware Version
0x1009
Manufacturer Hardware Version
Access: RO
Default:
See description
PDO Mappable: No
A string of characters that represents the hardware version of the Ethernet interface. This will
Description:
also include the Safety Module if FSoE is enabled.
Table 6-9 Manufacturer Software Version
0x100A
Manufacturer Software Version
Access: RO
Default:
See description
PDO Mappable: No
A string of characters that represents the software version of the Ethernet interface. This will
Description:
also include the Safety Module if FSoE is enabled.
