5.1.4 Control word (STW1) and status word (ZSW1)
Control and status word are predefined. They are exchanged in all message frame
types in the first respective process data word (PDZ01).
Figure 5-3: STW1
A control word for which all bits are 0 is rejected as invalid by the SINAMICS
converter. Therefore, at least bit 10 must always be set.
