Fault Action
A fault action determines how the adapter and connected product act
when a communications fault (for example, a cable is disconnected)
occurs or when the scanner is switched out of run mode. The former uses
a communications fault action, and the latter uses an idle fault action.
Fault Configuration
When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected), the adapter and PowerFlex drive can respond with a
user-defined fault configuration. The user sets the data that is sent to the
drive in the fault configuration parameters (Parameters 14 - [Flt Cfg
Logic] through 23 - [Flt Cfg D2]). When a fault action parameter is set
to use the fault configuration and a fault occurs, the data from these
parameters is sent as the Command Logic, Reference, and/or
Datalink(s).
Flash Update
The process of updating firmware in the adapter. The adapter can be
flash updated using the Xmodem protocol and a 1203-SSS Serial
Converter (version 3.001 or higher).
H
HIM (Human Interface Module)
