《Anybus CompactCom 40 - EtherCAT Network Guide》

This article based to enable host application \example_app\appl_adimap_asm.c ADI define example.

The principle of define multiple PDOs of Anybus CompactCom 40 EtherCAT

Every PDO corresponding to a set of periodic data combinations，In host application, Every PDO corresponding a APPL_asAsmObjWrite/ReadMap*[] in code file "appl_adimap_asm.c",The number of PDOs is up to 6 in each dirction.
More information can refer to 《Anybus CompactCom 40 - EtherCAT Network Guide》 section 4 of unit 3，At the same time,Remap function and Assembly Mapping Object (EBh) should be enabled.

To configure Host Application to define multiple PDOs

SetABCC_CFG_REMAP_SUPPORT_ENABLED to TRUE in \abcc_adapt\abcc_drv_cfg.h

/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Remap support configuration
**
** Check the descriptions in "./abcc_drv/inc/abcc_cfg.h" for more information
** about the purpose of each separate 'define'.
**------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
#ifndef ABCC_CFG_REMAP_SUPPORT_ENABLED
   #define ABCC_CFG_REMAP_SUPPORT_ENABLED             ( TRUE )
#endif

Set ASM_OBJ_ENABLE、ASM_IA_NAME_ENABLE to TRUE in \abcc_adapt\abcc_obj_cfg.h


#ifndef ASM_OBJ_ENABLE
   #define ASM_OBJ_ENABLE                          TRUE
#endif

#if ASM_OBJ_ENABLE
/*
** Attribute 13: Name (Array of CHAR - {0x00-0xFF))
*/
#ifndef ASM_IA_NAME_ENABLE
   #define ASM_IA_NAME_ENABLE                      TRUE
#endif

Set APPL_ACTIVE_ADI_SETUP to APPL_ADI_SETUP_ASM in \example_app\appl_adi_config.h

#ifndef APPL_ACTIVE_ADI_SETUP
#ifdef USE_BOARD_SPECIFIC_ADI_SETUP
#define APPL_ACTIVE_ADI_SETUP   APPL_ADI_SETUP_SIMPLE_16
#else
#define APPL_ACTIVE_ADI_SETUP   APPL_ADI_SETUP_ASM
#endif
#endif

Open \example_app\appl_adimap_asm.c file，Add ADI to APPL_asAsmObjWrite/ReadMap*[] as process data，it's equal to modify PDO.

const AD_MapType APPL_asAsmObjWriteMap1[] = //TPDO 0x1A00 Input Data
{
{ 1, PD_WRITE, AD_MAP_ALL_ELEM, 0 },
{ 3, PD_WRITE, AD_MAP_ALL_ELEM, 0 },
{ AD_MAP_END_ENTRY }
};

const AD_MapType APPL_asAsmObjWriteMap2[] = //TPDO 0x1A01
{
{ 1, PD_WRITE, AD_MAP_ALL_ELEM, 0 },
{ AD_MAP_END_ENTRY }
};

const AD_MapType APPL_asAsmObjWriteMap3[] = //TPDO 0x1A02
{
{ 3, PD_WRITE, AD_MAP_ALL_ELEM, 0 },
{ AD_MAP_END_ENTRY }
};

/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Example read maps.
**------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
const AD_MapType APPL_asAsmObjReadMap1[] = //RPDO 0x1600  Output data
{
{ 2, PD_READ, AD_MAP_ALL_ELEM, 0 },
{ 4, PD_READ, AD_MAP_ALL_ELEM, 0 },
{ AD_MAP_END_ENTRY }
};

const AD_MapType APPL_asAsmObjReadMap2[] = //RPDO 0x1601
{
{ 2, PD_READ, AD_MAP_ALL_ELEM, 0 },
{ AD_MAP_END_ENTRY }
};

Add a RPDO 0x1602

Copy a APPL_asAsmObjReadMap* array，Rename to APPL_asAsmObjReadMap3

const AD_MapType APPL_asAsmObjReadMap3[] = //RPDO 0x1601
{
{ 2, PD_READ, AD_MAP_ALL_ELEM, 0 },
{ AD_MAP_END_ENTRY }
};

Copy a APPL_sAsmReadMapInst* struct，Rename to APPL_sAsmReadMapInst3,Modify parameter to corresponding APPL_asAsmObjReadMap3.The parameter value of APPL_asAsmObjReadMap3. can refer section 7 of unit 13 《Anybus CompactCom 40 - Software Design Guide》
- ```
const ASM_InstanceType APPL_sAsmReadMapInst3 =
{
ABP_ASM_IA_DESC_READ | ABP_ASM_IA_DESC_STATIC | ABP_ASM_IA_DESC_PD_MAPPABLE,
APPL_asAsmObjReadMap3,
"Read mappable assembly 3"
};
```

Add the pointer of APPL_sAsmReadMapInst3 to APPL_aasAsmInstances[].

const ASM_InstanceType* APPL_aasAsmInstances[] =
{
&APPL_sAsmWriteMapInst1, /* Instance 1 */
&APPL_sAsmWriteMapInst2, /* Instance 2 */
&APPL_sAsmWriteMapInst3, /* Instance 3 */
&APPL_sAsmWriteNonMapInst, /* Instance 4 */
&APPL_sAsmReadMapInst1, /* Instance 5 */
&APPL_sAsmReadMapInst2, /* Instance 6 */
&APPL_sAsmReadMapInst3, /* Instance 7 */
&APPL_sAsmReadNonMapInst /* Instance 8 */
};

Rebuild the Host Application.
