Notes on commissioning
- Please note that a correct display of the LEDs is only possible in EtherCAT State OP. If the terminal changes to another state or if the power supply on the field side is lost, no frame is sent any more. It is possible that a last frame sent is faulty due to interference. This error will be present until the terminal is in the OP again and new data is sent. Notice Since the LEDs retain the last state or color (even if faulty due to malfunction) as long as the power supply is present, these LEDs must never be used for safety-related applications.
- Resetting to factory settings via the CoE object 0x1011:01 Restore default parameters is only possible in PREOP state.
- To minimize interference and thus incorrect display of the pixels, we recommend the use of an external filter
- The cyclic frame output is enabled by default in the CoE object 0x80p0:02 Enable Cyclic Frame Output . The data from the frame buffer is sent to the strip every 250 ms. Without an additional command, all data from the frame buffer will be sent cyclically.
