B-16 DeviceNet to SCANport Communication Module with Digital Inputs Parameters
Using Fault Configurable
Inputs You can select constant values that your adapter will maintain in the
event of a controller mode change or error. These constant values are
referred to as Fault Configurable inputs. When the controller is placed
in program mode or a DeviceNet network fault occurs, the control
outputs from the adapter to the SCANport product can be set to
automatically switch to the constant values set in the Fault Cfg In
parameters. This lets you define a safe operating state for controlled
devices that depend on pre-programmed output from the adapter.
If you intend to use Fault Configurable inputs, you must do the
following:
1. Set desired values for the Fault Cfg Logic (11), Fault Cfg Ref
(12), and Fault Cft In (13 – 20) parameters.
2. Set the Idle Fault Config (9) parameter and/or the Comm Flt
Action (10) parameter to Fault Cfg.
Refer to Chapter 3, Configuring the DeviceNet to SCANport
Communication Module with Digital Inputs, for instructions on
editing parameters.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of severe bodily injury or
equipment damage exists. The Idle Flt Action (9) and
Comm Flt Action (10) parameters allow the user to
change the default configuration that would allow the
module and associated drive to continue to operate if
communication is lost. Precautions should be taken to
assure that your settings for these parameters and your
application do not create a hazard of bodily injury or
equipment damage.
