Configuring the Adapter

By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected), the drive responds by faulting if it is using I/O from the
network. You can configure a different response to communication
disruptions using Parameter 02 - [Comm Loss Action].

Changing the Comm Loss Action

Set the value of Parameter 02 - [Comm Loss Action] to the desired
response action:

Figure 3.5 Example Comm Loss Action HIM Screen

Changes to this parameter takes effect immediately. A reset is not
required.

Setting a Comm Loss Action

!

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameter 02 - [Comm Loss Action] lets you determine the action of
the adapter and connected drive if communications are disrupted. By
default, this parameter faults the drive. You can set this parameter so
that the drive continues to run. Take precautions to ensure that the
setting of this parameter does 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).
