Safety Precautions Please read the following safety precautions carefully .
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex
drive may contain high voltages that can cause injury or death.
Remove all power from the PowerFlex drive, and then verify
power has been discharged before installing or removing an
adapter.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only
personnel familiar with drive and power products and the
associated machinery should plan or implement the installation,
start up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the
product using an adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury
and/or equipment damage.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter
contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be
damaged if you do not follow ESD control procedures. Static
control precautions are required when handling the adapter. If
you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see Guarding
Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI
or SCANport host products must not be directly connected
together using 1202 cables. Unpredictable behavior due to timing
and other internal procedures can result if two or more devices
are connected this way.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the
adapter is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault
when you reset the adapter. Determine how your drive will
respond before resetting an adapter.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameters 10 - [Comm Flt Action] and 11 - [Idle Flt Action]
let you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if
I/O communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. By
default, these parameters fault the drive. You can set these
parameters so that the drive continues to run, however,
precautions should be taken to verify that the settings of these
parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage.
When commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds
correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected cable
or a faulted controller).
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
When a system is configured for the first time, there may be
unintended or incorrect machine motion. Disconnect the motor
from the machine or process during initial system testing.
