3-24 Placing and Configuring the Drive
Configuring the Controller’s Response to a Connection Failure
You can configure the drive module to generate a major fault in the controller
if the drive loses its connection to the controller.
If you do not configure the major fault to occur, you should monitor the drive
module status. If the drive loses its connection to the controller:
• Outputs remain in their last
• Inputs remain in their last state
• By default the drive will fault
Configure the drive to generate a controller major fault when the drive loses its
connection to the controller. Or, monitor the status of the drive module.
Check this box to configure the drive
module to generate a major fault if it
loses its connection to the controller
ATTENTION
!
If a drive loses its connection to the controller, the
controller and other I/O modules continue to operate
based on old data from the drive, and the drive can
continue to operate based on old data from the controller.
To avoid potential personal injury and damage to
machinery, make sure this does not create unsafe operation.
