4 Reference ETS‐Parameter
4.1 General Settings
The following parameter exists only once and affects to all channels:
Figure 5: General settings
The parameter startup timeout adjusts the time between an upload and the functional start of the
device. The used hardware reacts only after expiration of the adjusted time. All input commands
before the startup timeout expire. Furthermore an "Operating" telegram and a telegram for the
group state can be activated. The "Operating" telegram sends cyclic whether the actuator answers at
the bus or not, so the debugging of greater objects become much easier. The group state sends the
state of all channels as 4 Byte telegram, which can be used for visualizations.
