Displaying text

In the following CoE parameter, write the text that you want to be displayed:

The text of a row can be 80 characters long at the most. If the text in a row is longer than 16 characters, it will be displayed as scrolling text.

If the EtherCAT status changes from "OP" to another status, the text is overwritten with the default text. Therefore, this also happens when the power supply is switched off. Subsequently, the text must be written again in the CoE parameter mentioned above.
Recommendations:

• Use the "Startup" tab in TwinCAT to have your text written automatically in the CoE parameters.
• Use the function block "FB_CoEWrite" to write the text from a PLC program into the CoE parameters.
• Use the option to change the default text.
