Configuring the EtherNet/IP Module 4-17
4.9 Setting a Fault Action
There are three user-configurable fault action parameters:
Comm Flt Action (21) and Idle Flt Action (22) determine the action
of the module and the connected drive if communications are
disrupted. By default, these parameters fault the drive if it is using I/
O from the network and communications are disrupted (for example,
a cable is disconnected) or the master is idle.
Peer Flt Action (41) determines the action of the module and the
connected drive if the module times out. By default, this parameter
faults the drive if the module has been configured for peer-to-peer
communications and the module times out.
Table 4.3 lists the response selections for these parameters.
Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not
required.
See figure 4.26 for sample LCD OIM Comm Flt Action and Idle Flt
Action screens. See figure 4.25 for a sample LCD OIM Peer Flt
Action Screen.
!
ATTENTION: Comm Flt Action (21) and Idle Fault
Action (22) let you determine the action of the module
and connected drive if communications are
disrupted or the controller is idle. By default, these
parameters fault the drive. You can set the
parameters so that the drive continues to run.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the
setting of these parameters does not create a risk of
injury or equipment damage. When commissioning
the drive, verify that your system responds correctly
to various situations (e.g., a disconnected cable or
faulted controller). Failure to observe this precaution
could result in bodily injury and/or damage to
equipment.
