Hallo Erik,
slaves have the "Slave Information Interface" (SII). This is more or
less a EEROM which stores necessary information for the master to
configure the slave.
See also: http://etherlab.org/en/ethercat/faq.php
Vendors can decide to store the SDO-Dictionary in the EEPROM or not.
Because the EtherCat-Master only works with the information which can be
fetched from the SII, it will present the SDOs if the dictionary is
stored in the EEPROM otherwise not.
Regards Wilhelm.

Dear all,
I have a question regarding SDOs of a specific slave I use for my setup,
namely the D1-N-36-E0-2-1-00 drive by HIWIN. As you can see in the
attached screenshot, when I type the "~> ethercat -p 1 sdos" command, I
do not receive any feedback from the slave. When I type the same command
for my other slave (E-Box by Ketels) I get the full list.
My understanding about the inner workings of Ethercat and Etherlab is
very limited, but could someone explain why a slave would not give me
the list of available SDOs? I have a manual and I am able to access
individual SDOs (e.g. "~> ethercat upload -p 1 -t int8 0x6060 0" for
Mode of Operation) but requesting the full list is not possible.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Erik
