IMPORTANT
If block transfers are programmed to continuously write information to 
the drive, care must be taken to properly format the block transfer. If 
attribute 10 is selected for the block transfer, values will be written only 
to RAM and will not be saved by the drive. This is the preferred attribute 
for continuous transfers. If attribute 9 is selected, each program scan will 
complete a write to the drives non-volatile memory (EEprom). Since the 
EEprom has a fixed number of allowed writes, continuous block transfers 
will quickly damage the EEprom. Do Not assign attribute 9 to continuous 
block transfers. Refer to the individual communications adapter User 
Manual for additional details.

0 = Not Stop
1 = Stop
xStart
(1)(2)
(1) A “0 = Not Stop” condition (logic 0) must first be present before a “1 = Start” condition will start the drive. The Start command acts 
as a momentary Start command. A “1” will start the drive, but returning to “0” will not
 stop the drive.
(2) This Start will not function if a digital input (parameters 13…144) is programmed for 2-Wire Control (option 5 “Run”, 6 “Run 
Forward” or 7 “Run Reverse”).

1 = Start

(3)
(3) This Reference Select will not function if a digital input (parameters 131…144) is programmed for “Speed Sel 1, 2 or 3” (option 17, 
18 or 19). Note that Reference Selection is “Exclusive Ownership”.
