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 a DeviceNet module. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with the
construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards
involved should install, adjust, operate, or service this
equipment. Read and understand this document in its entirety
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

ATTENTION: If the DeviceNet 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 a
module. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.

ATTENTION: Comm Flt Action (7) and Idle Flt Action (8) 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. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in 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 in bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
