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 SubDevice during start-up. The persistent configuration should be converted to binary format using PersistentConfigurationXmlToBin.exe (Windows) or pmppersistentconfig_xml2bin (Linux), and downloaded to the SubDevice using File-over-EtherCAT.

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

An example persistent configuration XML file can be found in XML example.
