Product overview, digital output terminals
EL20xx, EL212428 Version: 5.2
2.2.5 Operating modes and settings
2.2.5.1 Process data
Parameterization
An EL2014 is parameterized via 2 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 generally stored in non-volatile memory in the terminal/slave. They should be entered in the
CoE StartUp list so that the settings are accepted after a replacement of the terminal. The CoE
StartUp list is processed at each EtherCAT start and the settings are loaded into the slave.
Illustration of the process data and structural contents
The EL2014 provides three different process data for transmission:
• the diagnostics per channel “DIG Diag Inputs” (16-bit),
• the device diagnostics “DIG Inputs Device” (4-bit),
• The switching state of the outputs “DIG output” (4-bit)
