otherwise they will be done automatically and will be invisible in this dialog.

EtherCAT Configuration / Master
This tab of the configuration dialog for an EtherCAT Master provides all master
parameters as defined by the device description file.
If the Autoconfig mode is activated these settings are done automatically basing on
the given device descriptions and network topology. Normally they have not to be
modified for standard applications.
The parameters are listed with Parameter name, data Type, currently set Value,
Default Value, Unit and a short Description. The value field might be edited for
configuration purposes. However if 'Autoconfig' mode is active, modifications will be
without any effect!
See DeviceEditor / Configuration for a general description on the Configuration tab of
an device editor .
Ethercat I/O Mapping / Master
This tab of the configuration editor for an EtherCAT Master provides the possibility to
assign project variables to the EtherCAT outputs resp. inputs. Thus the PLC, which is
connected to the EtherCAT Master, can be controlled by the application program.
For a description on how to do the mapping please see DeviceEditor / IO Mapping.
The automatically generated Instance of the Master, which can be used in the
application, is shown in the lower part of the dialog (IEC Objects).
Status
This tab of the configuration editor for an EtherCAT device provides status information
(for example "Running", "Stopped") and device-specific diagnostic messages, also on
the used card and the internal bus system.
Information
This dialog is provided on a tab of an EtherCAT Master or Slave configuration dialog. If
available for the current module, the following general information will be displayed:
Name, Vendor, Type, Version number, Categories, Order Number, Description, Image.
