Please note that the CoE-Online tab lists the current values of the
Sdos. That does not mean, that they are already configured correctly.

Please do not configure the Pdo assignment and Pdo mapping Sdos via the
ecrt_slave_conf_sdoX() functions. They are automatically configured by
the master depending on the values passed to the
ecrt_slave_pdo_mapping() functions, if used. Otherwise, the master reads
the assigned Pdos from the slave, so that you don't have to configure
anything regarding the Pdos.

But again: The master 1.4 offers a much more comfortable way to
configure Pdo assignment and mapping. Moreover it should be much easier
to take new slaves into operation with the 1.4 branch.

Ok, it looked like the slave is still configured to use DC. Did you
reset it?
