User Manual

Configuring the Adapter 3-3
By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected), the drive will remain in its current state (for example, a
running drive will continue to run) until Parameter 12 - [RcvHrtBeat
Time] has elapsed.
You can configure different responses to communications disruptions
using Parameter 06 - [Comm Flt Action] and Parameter 12 -
[RcvHrtBeat Time].
To change the Comm fault action
• Set the value of Parameter 06 - [Comm Flt Action] to the desired
response action.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter
06 - [Comm Flt Action] and Parameter 12 - [RcvHrtBeat Time] let
you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if
communications are disrupted. Take precautions 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 (for example, a disconnected
cable).
