this is because TwinCAT does not read out the PDO mapping.

It is definitely a problem of the slave firmware, the number of assigned
PDOs (0x1c1x:0) must be an uint8. Please tell HBM. You can reference the
EtherCAT specification (IEC 61158-6-12, chapter 5.6.7.4.10.3, table 78).

Apart from that, the following patch should make it work. Please not that this
does not conform to the spec!
