This will count the number of PDO accesses per second. For example, if there are two PDOs configured in Sync Manager 2, and two PDOs configured in Sync Manager 3, and both Sync Manager memory areas are written every 250µs, this parameter will contain a value of approximately 16000 (the value may fluctuate slightly because it is not updated synchronously with the accesses).

This parameter is purely a mapping to parameter xx.000, to allow this parameter to be accessed using a CoE object (mapped CoE object indices correspond to menu numbers, and sub-object indices correspond to parameter numbers; since sub-object index zero is already used for another CoE purpose, it cannot be used to access parameter zero of a menu).
