8-3 Pulse Output Control
The pulse output control from the Controller is the same as control in Cyclic Synchronous Position Con-
trol Mode of the CiA402 drive profile.
The control commands that are sent to the Pulse Output Unit are sent with the Controlword and com-
mand position each control period. The control status is monitored through the Statusword.
These are equivalent to the following data definitions in the CiA402 drive profile: Controlword, Target
Position, and Statusword.
This section describes the control status and Cyclic Synchronous Position Control Mode for the Pulse
Output Unit.
Pulse Operation Unit operations are controlled through a Controlword and the results of those opera-
tions are returned in a Statusword.
Control operations are defined by different states and transitions between these states, as shown in the
following figure. The control status changes according to the Controlword. The current status is indi-
cated in the Statusword.
A Pulse Output Unit can output pulses in Cyclic Synchronous Position Control Mode when the Servo is
turned ON (Operation Enabled).
