When the Autorestart function is

enabled and one of the specified
fault types occurs:
- An alarm AUTORESTART is
generated and it will be kept until
the drive restarts or trips.
- If, after a timeout (P111.22), the
drive didn't restart successfully it
will trip and a fault message
"Autorestart Timeout" will be
