To set the fault configuration parameters
If you set Parameter 9 - [Comm Flt Action], or 10 - [Idle Flt Action]
to the “Send Flt Cfg,” the values in the following parameters are sent to
the drive after a communications fault and/or idle fault occurs. You must
set these parameters to values required by your application.
Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not
required.
Value Action Description
0 Fault (default) The drive is faulted and stopped. (Default)
1 Stop The drive is stopped, but not faulted.
2 Zero Data The drive is sent 0 for output data after a
communications disruption. This does not
command a stop.
3 Hold Last The drive continues in its present state after a
communications disruption.
4 Send Flt Cfg The drive is sent the data that you set in the fault
configuration parameters (Parameters 13 - [Flt Cfg
Logic] through 22 - [Flt Cfg D2 In]).
