Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
❑ A computer connection to the DeviceNet network via a communication
card, such as 1784-PCD, 1784-PCID, 1784-PCIDS, or 1770-KFD
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex
drive may contain high voltages that can cause injury or death.
Remove all power from the PowerFlex drive, and then verify
power has been discharged before installing or removing an
adapter.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only
personnel familiar with drive and power products and the
associated machinery should plan or implement the installation,
start up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the
product using an adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury
and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter
contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be
damaged if you do not follow ESD control procedures. Static
control precautions are required when handling the adapter. If
you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see Guarding
Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the
adapter is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault
when you reset the adapter. Determine how your drive will
respond before resetting an adapter.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameters 10 - [Comm Flt Action], 11 - [Idle Flt Action], and
34 - [Peer Flt Action] let you determine the action of the adapter
and connected drive if communication is disrupted or the
controller is idle. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You
can set these parameters so that the drive continues to run,
however, precautions should be taken to 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 faulted controller).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
When a system is configured for the first time, there may be
unintended or incorrect machine motion. Disconnect the motor
from the machine or process during initial system testing.
ATTENTION: 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 responsibility
or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual
use of the examples shown in this publication.
