How is a fault or fault(s) reset via Modbus on the GS2 and GS3 series drives? I see that P9.30 is "Serial Comm Fault Reset " however I assume this is a communications fault reset and not an actual "drive " fault reset? Thanks.

you can do this multiple ways, depending on your set up...
You can use the Block transfer to cast the digital I/O words to C-bits in your program, then use the C-bits to set/reset fault conditions.

this is the fault reset... P9.29 indicates a fault was received from the serial port (i.e., written to the port), and this parameter resets that fault indication

Just so I am clear, P9.30 will do what I want it to do in terms of resetting a drive fault? I believe there is a direct address for this parameter as well, in fact it forces you to use it...

P9.30 will clear the fault in the drive
