5.1.2 PDO(Process Data Object)
The real-time data transfer is using the PDOs.
There are two kinds of PDO transmission modes. One is a synchronization (SYNC), the other is
asynchronization message (Remotely Request, Event Driven, Timer Driven).
These PDO services use the push / pull models. The PDOs have Transmit-PDOs (maximum data size is 8
bytes) and Receive-PDOs (maximum data size is 8 bytes). These data type and these mapping are
defined by the Object Dictionary.
The following table is the PDO parameter indexes, the data types and the objects.

Data type “21h” is a record, which defines the PDO mapping parameter and it is of the following

UNSIGNED32
Structure consisting of mapped
object index (16 bit), sub-index (8
bits) and object data length in bits.
For example “20010010h” defines
object “2001h”, sub-index “0h”, and
data length of16 bits (=word).
