| Note regarding EL31x2 terminals before rev. no. EL31x2-0000-0016 The following CoE object list additionally contains the objects for the 2-channel input terminals before rev. no. EL31x2-0000-0016. These objects are mirrored to the standardized objects of MDP profiles 300 (analog inputs). When a new configuration is created in TwinCAT, we recommend using the standardized objects based on channel profile 300, although linking with the objects highlighted in color should be avoided. Older configurations are compatible in the event of replacement, see also section "Process data". |

The settings objects in the range 0x4000 no longer show up in the CoE overview from the following FW versions, although they are still functionally supported: |
