Ensuring Safe and Successful Control
Data written to the device will remain in its registers until the data is overwritten or
the device is reinitialised. The device will not transfer successive duplicate commands
to the soft starter.
•
If the soft starter is started via fieldbus communications but stopped via the keypad
or a remote input, an identical start command cannot be used to restart the starter.
•
If the soft starter may also be controlled via the keypad or the remote inputs (as
well as via fieldbus communications), a control command should be immediately
followed by a status query to confirm the command has been actioned.
