Throughout this manual, the following notes are used to alert you to safety
considerations:

Important: Identifies information that is critical for successful application and

understanding of the product.

ATTENTION: Identifies information about practices or
circumstances that can lead to personal injury or death, property
damage, or economic loss.

ATTENTION: The drive may contain high voltages that can cause
injury or death. Remove all power from the drive, and then verify
power has been removed before installing or removing an
EtherNet/IP module. Failure to observe these precautions could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: Only qualified electrical 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 EtherNet/IP
module. Read and understand this manual in its entirety before
proceeding. Failure to observe these precautions could result
bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: DPI host products must not be directly connected
together via RECBL-xxx cables. Unpredictable behavior due to
timing and other internal procedures can result if two or more
devices are connected in this manner. Failure to observe this
precaution could result bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: If the EtherNet/IP module is transmitting control
I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the module.
Determine how your drive will respond before resetting an module.
Failure to observe this precaution could result bodily injury
and/or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: Parameters Comm Flt Action (21), Idle Flt Action
(22), and Peer Flt Action (41) let you determine the action of the
module and connected drive if communications are disrupted. By
default, these parameters fault the drive. You can set these
parameters so that the drive continues to run. Precautions should
be taken to ensure that the settings of these parameters do not
create a hazard 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). Failure to observe this precaution could
result bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: 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.
Failure to observe this precaution could result bodily injury
and/or damage to equipment.
