Persistent configuration

This chapter describes the XML schema for persistent configuration files with brief examples.

A persistent configuration can be used to automatically apply a configuration on an EtherCAT sub-controller during start-up. The persistent configuration should be converted to binary format using PersistentConfigurationXmlToBin.exe (Windows) or pmppersistentconfig_xml2bin (Linux), and downloaded to the sub-controller using File-over-EtherCAT.

The individual XML schema types are described in Types. The complete XML schema is given in Complete XML schema.
