Hello Jin, There is nothing particular about the IGH master with respect to MDP as defined in ETG.5001. Modular devices normally need configuration (if CoE) via SDO to tell them which modules are "selected". Until this has happened, entire (fixed) PDOs may not be enabled yet, or access to certain indices/subindices will not work. For a recent servo drive we worked with, we had to use SDO complete access to write to 0xF030 (the "Configured Module Ident List"). By comparison, an I/O module with MDP (for IO-Link) needed to be set up by writing to 0x80n0-series indices (which is listed as just "Configuration Data object area" in the spec). In both cases, this wasn't documented in the suppliers' manuals. As always, easiest to try with TwinCAT first, and take a look at the SDOs it's writing to in the startup list. Add/remove "slots" (what TwinCAT calls the modules) and see what changes in the startup list. You should also be able to figure this out from the ESI file, but until you understand the mechanism it's harder to figure out than just experimenting with TwinCAT. -Tom -- Etherlab-users mailing list Etherlab-users@etherlab.org https://lists.etherlab.org/mailman/listinfo/etherlab-users
