ATTENTION: Hazard of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameter 109 - [DNet Fault Mode] determines the action of
the option and connected 1329I unit if communications are
disrupted. By default, this parameter faults and stops the 1329I
unit. You can set this parameter so that the 1329I unit continues
to run. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the setting of
this parameter does not create a hazard of injury or equipment
damage.
