Fault State
A safe state that the port is to take on in the case of a loss of bus communication can be
predefined for each output on the port pins.
The fault state settings can be configured using the following class instance attributes of the
explicit messages.

Note
The fault state settings are stored only temporarily in the module. They are deleted
after a power reset.
To ensure a long-term fault state configuration, the configuration has to be
programmed via the PLC so that the settings are transferred to the module again
when the system is restarted.
