Cable Loss Behavior 5-3
Cable Loss Configuration and Behavior
This section describes the configurable cable loss feature of the drive. This feature offers a user maximum flexibility in determining the
drive’s response to a loss of communication.
Drive Behavior At Loss of Communication
After some interval without receipt of a message, the drive can be configured to respond in one of the following manners:
Continue at last speed
Continue at last speed with Alarm
Continue at preset speed
Ramp to Stop with EF0 fault
Coast to Stop with EF0 fault
Emergency Stop with EF0 fault
APOGEE FLN Points
Three APOGEE FLN points are used to select the desired behavior:
POINT 92 – CBL LOSS TMR
POINT 91 – CBL LOSS FRQ
POINT 90 – COMM FLT ENA
Table 5.1 - Cable Loss Behavior Summary

Decelerate to stop (stop time in C1-02) EF0 Fault 0 Timeout Interval X On
Coast to stop EF0 Fault 1 Timeout Interval X On
Emergency stop (stop time in C1-09) EF0 Fault 2 Timeout Interval X On
Continue at last speed 3 0 X X
Continue at last speed with Alarm 3 Timeout Interval X On
Continue at preset speed with Alarm 4 Timeout Interval Preset Speed On
Notes:
1. Communication must first be established and then lost for these features to function as described. If a drive is powered-up without a cable
connected or with the master controller offline, a communications timeout does not occur.
2. For modes which describe the drive running after a communications timeout, a run command must have been issued (RUN ENABLE (Point 35)
= ‘On’ and either CMD RUN.FWD (Point 22) = ‘On’ or CMD RUN.REV (Point 24) = ‘On’) prior to loss of communications. For safety
purposes, the drive will not automatically restart from a stopped condition. If a user requires the drive to restart automatically, additional
external wiring is required to accomplish this (consult factory).
Upon expiration of the communications timeout interval, the FAULT LED lights and remains lit until communication is restored.
Continue at Last Speed
In this mode, CBL LOSS TMR (POINT 92) is set to 0, disabling the cable loss feature. The other two settings CBL LOSS FRQ
(POINT 91) and COMM FLT ENA (POINT 90) are ignored. If communication is lost, the drive simply maintains its last
commanded state. The drive will not display an alarm or fault to indicate it has lost communication. This behavior can also be
achieved by setting parameter H5-04 to “3”. The drive will display an alarm and continue running. For this specific condition,
the COMM FLT ENA(POINT 90) must be enabled and CBL LOSS TMR (POINT 91) should be set to something other than 0.
Continue at Preset Speed
In this mode, CBL LOSS TMR (POINT 92) is set to the desired interval, CBL LOSS FRQ (POINT 91) is set to the desired preset speed and
H5-04 is set to “4”. If the time between messages exceeds the timeout interval, the drive’s speed command, INPUT REF 1, (Point 60) is set
to the CBL LOSS FRQ (POINT 91) and the drive continues running at this new speed. COMM FLT ENA (POINT 90) must be set to ‘On’.
