Additional Information

• When the MD65 drive with the MDCOMM-DNET (Drive 0) is

powered up, all configured daisy-chained drives must be present
before an I/O connection is allowed on DeviceNet (i.e., before the
drives can be controlled).

• If the MD65 drive with the MDCOMM-DNET module (Drive 0) is

powered down, communications with the four daisy-chained
drives (Drive 1 to Drive 4) are disrupted and the drives will fault.

• If any of the daisy-chained drives (Drive1 to Drive 4) are powered

down, the respective Input Image (Logic Status and Feedback)
sent to the scanner will be zeros, and the NET A and PORT LEDs
on the MDCOMM-DNET module will flash red. Status information
from the scanner will not indicate there is a fault at the node.
