1.5 Safety
“Memory fault” is a warning meaning that the loop is not running normally. The actual loop must
be checked and verified for correct cabling and content.
1.6 Compatibility
1.6.1 AutroSafe IFG
BSD-340 PowerLoop Driver software version 1.1.0 is only compatible with AutroSafe software
version 4.3.1 or later.
If your installation uses subscription of analog values from BN-342 or HC-300, using AutroSafe
4.8.1 or newer will give the best PowerLoop crosstalk performance. Using older AutroSafe
versions will work correctly, but the PowerLoop data traffic is higher.
