Parameterization

An EL31xx is parameterized via 2 dialog boxes/tabs in the TwinCAT System Manager, the Process Data tab (A) for the communication-specific settings and the CoE directory (B) for the settings in the slave.

• Changes to the process data-specific settings are generally only effective after a restart of the EtherCAT master:
  Restart TwinCAT in RUN or CONFIG mode; RELOAD in CONFIG mode
• Changes to the online CoE directory
  - are in general immediately effective
  - are in general stored non-volatile only in the terminal/in the slave and should therefore be entered in the CoE StartUp list. This list is processed at each EtherCAT start and the settings are loaded into the slave.
