The digital output slave in the user/ example is such a slave. You can
just ctreate a slave configuration and then call
ecrt_slave_config_pdos() as usual (to tell the master about the PDO
layout). The only difference is, that the master won't have a
possibility to change the PDO mapping, but this is not necessary if
the mapping provided matches the slave's PDOs.
