Send data to slave device represented by process data object
Simulink Real-Time / EtherCAT
The EtherCAT PDO Transmit block transmits computed data to a particular variable in the EtherCAT® slave device.
The block parameter dialog box has two sections, parameters and signal information. When you specify an EtherCAT network and device variable name:
The EtherCAT PDO Receive block mask is updated with the selected signal name.
The signal information in the block parameter dialog box is updated to reflect the device variable.
If an error occurs while the software parses the configuration file specified in the EtherCAT Init block, this block shows an error message.
