Safety Precautions
Read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATTENTION:
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel familiar with
drive and power products and the associated machinery can plan or
implement the installation, start up, configuration. Only qualified personnel
can perform subsequent maintenance of the drive by using this built-in
interface. Failure to comply can result in injury and/or equipment damage.
• Risk of equipment damage exists. The built-in interface contains
electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do
not follow ESD control procedures. ESD control precautions are required
when handling the interface. If you are unfamiliar with ESD control
procedures, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage, publication
8000-4.5.2
.
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the interface is transmitting
control I/O to the drive, the drive can fault when you reset the interface.
Determine how your drive responds before resetting the interface.
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Built-in adapter 0:360 - [Comm
Flt Action], 0:361 - [Idle Flt Action], and 0:363 - [Msg Flt Action] let
you determine the action of the interface and drive when one of the
following occurs:
- I/O communication is disrupted
- The controller is in Program Mode
- Explicit Messaging for drive control is disrupted
By default, these parameters fault the drive. You can configure these
parameters so that the drive continues to run; however, verify that the
settings of these parameters do 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 or a
controller in Program Mode).
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is configured for
the first time, there can be unintended or incorrect machine motion.
Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial system
testing.
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in this publication
are intended solely for purposes of example. There are many variables and
requirements with any application. Rockwell Automation® does not assume
