ATTENTION: The drive may contain high voltages that can cause
injury or death. Remove all power from the drive, and then verify
power has been removed before installing or removing a
ControlNet module. Failure to observe these precautions could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

ATTENTION: Only qualified electrical 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 ControlNet
module. Read and understand this manual in its entirety before
proceeding. Failure to observe these precautions could result
bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: DPI host products must not be directly connected
together via RECBL-xxx cables. Unpredictable behavior due to
timing and other internal procedures can result if two or more
devices are connected in this manner. Failure to observe this
precaution could result bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: If the ControlNet module is transmitting control
I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the module.
Determine how your drive will respond before resetting an module.
Failure to observe this precaution could result bodily injury
and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: Comm Flt Action (10) and Idle Flt Action (11) let
you determine the action of the module and connected drive if
communications are disrupted. By default, these parameters fault
the drive. You can set these parameters so that the 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. Failure to observe this precaution could result bodily
injury and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: 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.
Failure to observe this precaution could result bodily injury
and/or damage to equipment.
