text: <s>[INST] Powerflex 700S running status bit dropping out while running Hello, We have a Powerflex 700s frame 1 that has been in use for at least 5 years now and has not had the issue that we are seeing now. The past couple days while running, it will randomly loose the running status bit. The program is designed to check that the drive run bit is true and also the running bit is not false. If both those conditions are not met in 1 second, the machine shuts down. After the machine comes to a stop, you are able to start it right back up. It will then run for 2 hours before shutting down, but sometimes back to back. From everything I read, both those bits are produced from the drive and not an external source. Does anyone know if this can easily be resolved or should I look at replacing the drive? Cat [/INST] Is the running status bit a discrete output of the drive or are you getting it via network connection? If it's a discrete output, I would concentrate very hard on the physical wiring. Your problem sounds like a loose connection. It might be a failing output relay. \\n </s>
