-====== EtherCATInterfaceElmo ===== 
-===== Summary ===== 
-The //"EtherCatInterfaceElmo"// is especially designed for the Gold Twitter drives from Elmo. 
-It consists of the following components: 
-  * EtherCatInterfaceElmo.hpp 
-  * EtherCatInterfaceElmo.cpp 
-  * EtherCatInterfaceElmo_config.hpp 
- 
-The //"EtherCatInterfaceElmo.hpp"// declares all methods of the interface. 
-The low level methods ('ll_'-prefix) are at the bottom of the class. 
- 
-These low level methods read and write individual data objects to/from the stack. 
-Which objects are available and their file type must be read from the documentation of the manufacturer of the EtherCAT slave. 
-Each data object has its own method. 
-These are the only methodes which use the low level get/set methodes from //"EtherCatInterfaceBase"//. 
- 
-Where a data object is located in the PDO depends on the ENI file used. 
-These offsets must be read from the ENI file and configured in //"EtherCatInterfaceElmo_config.hpp"//. 
- 
-All methods above the low level methods are optional. 
-They contain a certain degree of intelligence and simplify the interface to the user application. 
- 
-===== Blocking functions ===== 
-Methods in the interface must never be **blocking**. 
- 
-Some advanced functions may take several cycles. 
-They are only completed when they return ''true''. 
-These methods must be called again in each cycle until they return ''true''. 
- 
-===== EtherCatInterfaceElmo_config.hpp ===== 
-This is configuration file has do be adapted depending on the EtherCAT network. 
- 
-The most important part of this file is the offset definition of all PDO offset. 
-Before you start your application, you have to define all PDO offsets of your network. 
- 
-Be aware that EtherCATInterface assumes that all drives send the identical variables via PDO. 
-With the current implementation it is not possible to send different variables for different drives. 
- 
-If a variable is not available, the offset is set to a negative number like '-1'. 
-The methods which would use a unavailable variable will throw an error if called.
