The
following
parameter
exists
only
once
and
affects
to
all
channels:
Figure

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.
