Behavior on EtherCAT failure

You can define which switching state an output is to assume in the event of an EtherCAT failure. However, this only affects outputs that you have configured for switching, see chapter Switching outputs.

If the EtherCAT status is not OP , the box switches all outputs to the respective predefined switching state.
This happens not only in the event of an EtherCAT failure, but also in the following cases, for example:

• EtherCAT start-up phase, e.g. shortly after switching on the supply voltage.
• Manual change of the EtherCAT status by the EtherCAT master.
• In Config Mode. See chapter EtherCAT status in Config Mode (EP1839-0022, EP1839-0042).
