Auto Fault
Recovery

AFR= 1

byte,

Command or Query.
The BUC/BDC output will automatically be muted in the event of
detected fault. If auto fault recovery is enabled, it will cause the
output return to its pre-fault mute condition if all faults are cleared.
If disabled, the output will remain muted even if all faults are
cleared.
The clearing of the fault condition will not cause a switch over in a
redundant system unless the currently online unit is faulted. In
which case the newly un-faulted unit will be brought online.

Default Value: 1
