Create all SDOs

If “Create all SDOs” is enabled, SDOs are generated for all objects from the EDS file.

In addition, the corresponding options must be enabled. If writing nodeguarding objects is required, for example, the checkbox for the “Nodeguarding” option must be enabled.

When the option is disabled, SDOs are only generated for the objects with default values that deviate from the EDS file.

Write complete PDO configuration

The “Write complete PDO configuration” option writes the complete PDO configuration, i.e., PDOs with default values are also written again with default values.
