Configuration (EP1839-0042 with firmware 01)

The CoE parameters listed below are only visible with firmware 01 in the CoE directory. In firmware 02 and higher, they are replaced by the parameter 81n0:11 "Safe State Behavior".

Write access to these parameters from a PLC is also possible in firmware 02 and higher to ensure backward compatibility with existing applications. The firmware converts the write access values into the corresponding option of parameter 81n0:11 "Safe State Behavior", see chapter Configuration.

Configure

In the factory setting the "Safe state value" of all outputs is the value FALSE. The outputs are therefore switched off if the EtherCAT communication fails.

You can set the value for each output individually in the CoE parameters 80n00:05_hex "Safe state value".

Deactivate

If you deactivate the function "Safe state", the respective channel retains the switching state it had before the communication failure after an EtherCAT failure

In the factory setting, the function "Safe state" is activated for all outputs. You can deactivate them individually for each output. To do this, set the CoE parameter 80n00:04_hex "Safe state active" to FALSE.
