Rockwell Automation 20-COMM-S RS-485 DF1 Adapter - Manual (Page 12)

1-4 Getting Started
Please read the following safety precautions carefully
.
Safety Precautions
!
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 a
RS-485 DF1 adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or
equipment damage.
!
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
removed before installing or removing a RS-485 DF1 adapter.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI or
SCANport host products must not be directly connected together via
1202-C* cables. Unpredictable behavior due to timing and other
internal procedures can result if two or more devices are connected in
this manner.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the
RS-485 DF1 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.
Parameter 10 - [Comm Flt Action] lets you determine the action of
the adapter and connected PowerFlex drive if communications are
disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the PowerFlex drive. You
can set this parameter so that the PowerFlex drive continues to run.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the setting of this parameter
does not create a risk of injury or equipment damage.
!
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.
