PROFINET IO – Communication profiles 307
PROFIdrive communication profile
Control word and Status word
The Control word (PROFIdrive parameter 967) is the principal
means for controlling the drive from a fieldbus system. It is sent by
the fieldbus master station to the drive through the adapter
module. The drive switches between its states according to the bit-
coded instructions in the Control word and returns status
information to the master in the Status word (PROFIdrive
parameter 968).
The contents of the Control word and the Status word are detailed
below. See the drive documentation for information on the drive-
specific bits. The drive states are presented on page 312. The
drive states for the positioning mode are presented on page 313.
