Structure of devices

Devices are displayed in CODESYS below the "EtherCAT_Master" object in the device tree. A device consists of the device object (in the example: MOVI_C_MOVIDRIVE (MOV-C MOVIDRIVE SingleAxis)) and 2 to 4 device slots subordinate to the object in the device tree.

Slot1 (in the example: Standard_16_PD) represents the standard process data of the device. This device slot can be connected to a logical device. Slot2 (in the example: Container_PROFIsafe) represents the safety process data area. If a safety option card is installed in the MOVI-C^® inverter, a safety routing component can be plugged into the second slot.

The MOVI-C^® single axis (system or modular) has a standard slot and a safety process data slot. Accordingly, the MOVI-C^® double-axis has 2 standard slots and 2 safety slots. The following figure shows the structure of a single axis and of a double axis:
