ATTENTION: The VSM500 unit and a DeviceNet network may contain hazardous voltage levels.
Before working on the VSM500 unit or DeviceNet Option board, remove power from the drive,
and verify that the VSM500 unit has discharged to safe voltage levels. Failure to observe these
precautions could result severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: Only personnel familiar with the VSM500 unit and DeviceNet should plan or
implement the installation, start-up, configuration and subsequent maintenance of the VSM500
unit. Failure to observe these precautions could result in bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: Parameter 109 [ DNET FAULT MODE ] and Parameter 110 [ DNET IDLE MODE ] determine
the action of the option and connected VSM500 unit if communications are disrupted or a scanner
is put in idle mode. By default, these parameters stop the VSM500 unit. You can set them so that
the VSM500 unit continues to run. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the settings of
these parameters do not create a hazard. Failure to observe these precautions could result in
bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: When a system is configured for the first time, the motor must be disconnected from
the machine or process during initial system testing. Injury or equipment damage may occur due
to unintended or incorrect machine motion. Failure to observe these precautions could result in
bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: The DeviceNet Option board contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts
and assemblies. Component damage may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. Static
control precautions are required when handling this product. If you are not familiar with static
control procedures, refer to any applicable ESD protection handbook. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in damage to equipment.
