Environment:

Go into Complete Settings, Command and reference, and set 2 wire type to level control.
Go into Complete Settings, Error/Warning Handling, Auto fault reset, and set auto fault reset to yes.
The drive will attempt to reset the fault for the length of time programmed in the Fault Reset Time parameter (default is 5 minutes) as long as the run command remains present on the drive.
It is also advisable to activate to Catch on the Fly in case the motor is already spinning when the drive restarts. (Complete Settings -> Error/Warning Handling)

Must be in 2 wire control with run command present.
The automatic restart function has to be activated.
The condition that caused fault code has to have been resolved.
