CANopen slave deployment

Hello,
We would like to use our CIFX50 running EtherCAT master stack with a drive by Emerson Industrial Automation (for ControlTechniques). The model is Unidrive SP and the communication module is SM-EtherCAT. CANopen is extensively used for the communication (by design of SM-EtherCAT). They provide us an xml device description file, but this file does not contain any information about the data dictionnary. Consequently, we cannot define the configuration for PDO mapping within sycon.net. The device is successfully imported into device catalog of sycon tool, but we cannot go far. I don't know if sycon will be able to request the data dictionnary from the device.
Does anyone know this drive ? can we expect a successfull deployment with Hilscher master stack ?
Thanks you very much
Manfred.

Hello,

this is a Sycon.NET issue, which is not easy to handle over the forum.
Please get in contact with the standard support department from Hilscher.
