The diagnostic messages are saved in text form in the ESI/XML file belonging to the TwinSAFE device. On
the basis of the Text ID contained in the diagnostic message, the corresponding plain text message can be
found in the respective languages. The parameters can be inserted in the appropriate positions. In the
following example, %x is used for a hexadecimal representation of the parameters.

Via the entry New Messages Available the user receives information that new messages are available. The
messages can be read out via CompleteAccess (a CoE read command for the complete CoE object
0x10F3). The
New Messages Available bit is reset after reading the messages.
The sending of emergency messages to the EtherCAT master is activated by adding the CoE object
0x10F3:05 to the startup list (Transition IP, value 0x0001). If new diagnostic messages arrive, they are
entered in object 0x10F3 and additionally sent by emergency to the EtherCAT master.
