The data that is actually read or written is accessed using a 4Gbit address space using byte.bit addressing. EtherCAT technically bit alignment, though in practice most things seem to be byte aligned. This address space is called the **Process Data Image** or **PDI**. | The data that is actually read or written is accessed using a 4Gbit address space using byte.bit addressing.
