Communications Line Errors
Malfunctions in DeviceNet communications that are a result of broken wires, short circuits, reversed
wiring, duplicate node address assignments, or noise interference are detected as transmission
(BUS) errors. When a transmission error is detected, the Inverter's Fault Bit will turn ON and the
motor will coast to a stop.
When an error is detected, perform error processing according to the indicator display of the
DeviceNet Communications Unit/Card with the terminal cover and Digital Operator removed.
