7.10 MFC IO ESI/XML Configuration Block
This example shows the part of the ESI/XML configuration file for EtherCAT slaves used to configure the
MCF IO block directly out of the EEPROM (at power-up or reset). Therefore, the configuration block must
be classified as category 1 information within the EEPROM.
Another way to configure the MFC IO block is to directly write via PDI or ECAT interface to the EtherCAT
registers at 0x0580 to 0x05E1 (ESC Parameter RAM).
An easy way to generate the configuration data string that is used in this XML structure is to use the wizard
included in the TMCL-IDE. See also section ESI Configuration Wizard.
