I cannot emphasize more how correct Eric is. Although loss of communications is generally symptomatic of a bridge problem, keep in mind that the problem can still lie elsewhere. The most conclusive and definitive way to determine if your bridge is power cycling is to observe the lights on the bridge and to see if they all turn off. If so, then you can be certain that your bridge is indeed cutting out.

Another suggestion to consider is a secure power connection - does the barrel connector going into the bridge ensure a steady power supply, or does it wobble out when you run the mechanisms at fault?

Please clarify what you mean by "reconnect". Are communications restored by themselves after you lose comms? If so, how long does the reconnection take? If not, what do you have to do to reestablish communication?
