Configuring the Adapter
By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected) or the master is idle, the drive responds by faulting if it is
using I/O from the network. You can configure a different response to
communication disruptions using
Parameter 10 - [Comm Flt Action]
and a different response to an idle scanner using
Parameter 11 - [Idle
Flt Action]
.
To change the fault action
•
Set the values of
Parameters 10
and
11
to the desired responses:

Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not
required.
Setting a Fault Action
!
ATTENTION:
Risk of injury or equivalent damage exists.
Parameter 10 - [Comm Flt Action] and Parameter 11 - [Idle Flt
Action]
lets you determine the action of the adapter and connected Host
product if the controller is idle (e.g. in program mode). This parameter
can be used to fault (default setting) the Host product or perform
another function such as allow the Host to continue to run. Some
ControlNet scanners may operate differently when a controller is idle
which could limit the Idle Fault Action’s operating states. The Idle Flt
Action should be verified when commissioning the drive on the
network by testing the operation with the controller in idle.
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. This does not
command a stop.
3
Hold Last
The drive continues in its present state.
4
Send Flt Cfg
The drive is sent the data that you set in the fault
configuration parameters (Parameters 15 - [Flt Cfg
Logic] through 24 - [Flt Cfg D2 In]).
