Note
Manual modification of the process data
According to the ESI description, a PDO can be identified as “fixed” with the flag “F” in the
PDO overview (Fig. “Configuring the process data”, J). The configuration of such PDOs
cannot be changed, even if TwinCAT offers the associated dialog (“Edit”). In particular, CoE
content cannot be displayed as cyclic process data.This generally also applies in cases
where a device supports download of the PDO configuration, “G”.In case of incorrect con-
figuration the EtherCAT slave usually refuses to start and change to OP state. The System
Manager displays an “invalid SM cfg” logger message:This error message (“invalid SM IN
cfg” or “invalid SM OUT cfg”) also indicates the reason for the failed start.
5.1.6 Configuration by means of the TwinCAT System Manager
(with TwinCAT from version 2.10.0 (Build 1241), using EL5001 from firmware version 0.7 as an example)
In the left-hand window of the TwinCAT System Manager, click on the branch you wish to configure (in the
example: EL5001 Terminal 6).

In the right-hand window of the TwinCAT System manager, various tabs are now available for configuring
the terminal.
