[etherlab-users] Domain offset overlap

     In order to reduce process data size, TwinCAT overlaps the RxPDO 
and TxPDO for each module, then uses the LRW command to effect the 
transfer. So, I believe what you're seeing is normal.

The problem I am having is the output from ecrt_slave_config_ret_pdo_entry produces overlapped offsets.  I also tried using ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry_pos with the same results.  This is a very simple test rig that has one each of DO, DI, AO, and AI slices - all beckhoff.  I have attached a file which includes the generated XML file, the code in question, and the log output.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
