The Control Word and the Status Word

The Control Word (CW) is the principal means of controlling the drive from a fieldbus
system. It is effective when the active control location is set to FIELDBUS.
The Control Word is sent by the fieldbus controller to the drive. The drive switches
between its states according to the bit-coded instructions of the Control Word.
The Status Word (SW) is a word containing status information, sent by the drive to
the fieldbus controller.
See section
of the Control Word and the Status Word.

References

References (REF) are 16-bit signed integers. A negative reference (indicating
reversed direction of rotation) is formed by calculating the two's complement from
the corresponding positive reference value.

Reference handling

The control of rotation direction is configured using the parameters in group 10.
Fieldbus references are bipolar, i.e. they can be negative or positive.
Notes:
• 100% reference is defined by parameter
• External reference scaling parameter

Actual Values

Actual Values (ACT) are 16-bit words containing information on selected operations
of the drive. The functions to be monitored are selected with the parameters in group
92. The scaling of the integers sent to the master as Actual Values depends on the
selected function; please refer to chapter
