Configuring the Module
By default, when the controller is idle, the drive responds by faulting if it 
is using I/O from the 1769-SM1. You can configure a different response 
to an idle controller using Parameters 09 - [Idle Action 1], 26 - [Idle 
Action 2], and 43 - [Idle Action 3] for each respective connected drive. 
To change the Idle Action
Set the values of Parameters 09 - [Idle Action 1], 26 - [Idle Action 2], 
and 43 - [Idle Action 3] to the desired responses:

Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not 
required.
Setting an Idle Action
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. 
Parameters 09 - [Idle Action 1], 26 - [Idle Action 2], and 43 - [Idle 
Action 3] let you determine the action of the 1769-SM1 module and 
each connected drive if communications are disrupted or the controller 
is idle. By default, each of these parameters faults its respective drive. 
You can set each parameter so that the respective drive continues to run. 
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the settings of these 
parameters do not create a hazard of injury or equipment damage.
Value Action
Description
0
Fault (default)
The drive is faulted and stopped. (Default)
1
Stop
The drive is stopped, but not faulted.
(1)
(1)
“Stop” Idle Action is not supported for SCANport connected channels. If this setting is used, the 
“Fault” action will be used instead.
2
Zero Data
The drive is sent 0 for output data after a communications 
disruption. This does not command a stop.
3
Hold Last
The drive continues in its present state after a communications 
disruption.
4
Send Flt Cfg
The drive is sent the data that you set in the fault configuration 
parameters (e.g. Parameter 10 - [Flt Cfg Logic 1] through 
Parameter 19 - [Flt Cfg D2 In1] for CH1 drive).
