Hi, Hakkan!
at this morning command PDOS -p0 give me only empty answer. After your command - lcec_configgen gives only <masters> string at all. But after manipulation - everything changed/I found information and solve this issue.So - our modules have to be flashed by configuration. Configuration generates with utility. This utility gives a bin file, which one have to be flashed into ODOT with command sii_write -p0 esi.bin .
sudo apt-get install libxml2-devgit
clone https://github.com/synapticon/siitool siitool
cd siitool
make
sudo make install
siitool -o esi.bin 'name of xml file ODOT'
ethercat sii_write -p 0 esi.bin

if needed i may send  file esi.bin (in attachment) and working xml for odot 8033 - only coupler and 222f module in config - in network ethercat only one slave - ODOT. Also - file XML from site ODOT dont work from the box when i try to compile bin file. It works in my case with XML ODOT version XML-ODOT-CN8033-V1.45-20241209.After procedure already lcec_configgen works fine. One point now - is how to automatic download sii_write to every starting of LinuxCNC because every power on, need to do sii_write procedure again...

That was some great info, must be useful for the next guy using this module.
You should probably also have the -m flag to the siitool command to get the pdos mapping to the eeprom.
Just an idea, check to see if any of the sdos can permanently save the config.

I use a script to start linuxcnc. It downloads a few values for some sdos and then starts linuxcnc.

Hakan,
Could you please give me more information about sii +m option? I yesterday didn't find it on documentation. And when im try to use -m option - there was an error in answer
update: in your message about siitool -m esi.xml eeprom.bin i founded about -m. Try to do the same. And download eeprom.bin but situation the same. After re-plug the power settings needed to be downloaded..
