Remote Terminal Communication Interruption

Schneider Electric · Altivar Machine ATV320 Variable Speed Drive

What does SLF3 mean?

An interruption in communication with the remote terminal (HMI). This means the drive has lost its connection to its human-machine interface, preventing local control, status monitoring, or parameter adjustments from the HMI. The drive may still operate if controlled externally.
