Control Word Setup Tab
The Control Word Setup Tab is used to map the desired bit-level parameters onto the existing control word(s). The parameters can be mapped
using one of two methods:
•
Drag and Drop: Using the Drag and Drop method, the user navigates the parameter tree, which as been pre-filtered to only show bit-level
parameters, to find the desired parameter they wish to control (write to). Once the desired parameter is found, the user left-clicks and hold
on the desired parameter. While still holding the left-button down, the user drags the parameter onto the desired bit of the desired Control
Word. Then the left-button is released. Doing so will map the selected bit parameter to the selected Control Word bit.
• Add Button: Using the Add Button method, the user navigates the parameter tree to find the desired parameter they wish to control. Once
the desired parameter is found, the user left clicks on the parameter to highlight it. Then the user clicks on the desired bit of the Control
Word to highlight it. Once both are highlighted, the Add button on the right side of the view (see Figure 87 above) should become enabled.
Simply click the Add button and the highlighted parameter will be assigned to the highlighted bit on the Control Word.
To delete parameters from the Control Word, simply drag and drop the parameter off the control word (see explanation above), or highlight the
desired parameter to delete, and click the Delete button on the right side of the view.
NOTE
Parameters can be mapped while online, but cannot be sent to the drive using the Update to RAM function. Therefore, any changes to Control
Word mapping requires a full download.
Online Status Tab (Available Online Only)
While online with the drive, the user can monitor the Control Words value (see Figure 88 below). The data is displayed in binary form for each
individual bit of the Control Word(s), as well as hexidecimal and decimal format for each Control Word.

Using Pack Bits Control Words
Once the Control Word(s) have been configured by the user, they can be utilized by fieldbus communications (i.e. Modbus, EtherNet I/P,
Profibus, DeviceNet, etc.) or within a user program. Figure 89 shows an example in which the user will write to the Control Word 0 and 1 via
Ethernet I/P.
