This subroutine remaps the PDO's of a certain drive to the required minimum objects that allow sync position mode.
These objects are:
Rx - Control Word 0x6040;0x0, Position Command 0x607A;0x0
Tx - Status Word 0x6041;0x0, Position Feedback 0x6064;0x0, Digital Inputs 0x60FD;0x0

Use this subroutine when integrating a softMC with a new or unknown motion drive to make sure it has the required minimum PDO entries to allow sync position motion.

NOTE-Info.svgNOTE
Use this subroutine as an example how to create you own PDO mapping
IMPORTANT.svgIMPORTANT
This subroutine must be invoked before EC_SETUP.PRG is executed, or right at the beginning of it, to allow MC to first rescan the slaves and get updated with the new PDO mapping of the devices
