Drive Control and Status
7.1 Overview
The control and status words provide a means for the digital control and monitoring of the drive using a
single data word. Each control bit has a particular function and provides a method of controlling the output
functions of the drive, such as run and direction. Each bit in the status word provides feedback about the
drive’s state of health and operational condition.
7.2 Control BITs

communications. Some of the most commonly used ones are listed as follows, for a complete list of drive
