Object Dictionary; Process And Service Data Objects - TR-Electronic LP-46 Bedienungsanleitung

3.4 Object dictionary

The object dictionary structures the data of an EtherCAT device in a clear tabular
arrangement. It contains all device parameters and all current process data, which are
therefore also accessible via the SDO.

3.5 Process and Service Data Objects

Process Data Object (PDO)
Process Data Objects manage the process data exchange, e.g. the cyclical
transmission of the position value.
Service Data Object (SDO)
Service Data Objects manage the parameter data exchange, e.g. the acyclical
execution of the preset function.
The SDO provides an efficient communication mechanism for parameter data of any
size. A service data channel for parameter communication is formed between the
configuration master and the connected devices for this purpose. The device
parameters can be written to or read from the device object dictionary with a unique
frame handshake.
