424 Fieldbus control through the embedded fieldbus interface (EFB)
Control word and Status word
The Control Word (CW) is a 16-bit or 32-bit packed boolean word. It is the principal
means of controlling the drive from a fieldbus system. The CW is sent by the fieldbus
controller to the drive. With drive parameters, the user selects the EFB CW as the
source of drive control commands (such as start/stop, emergency stop, selection
between external control locations 1/2, or fault reset). The drive switches between its
states according to the bit-coded instructions of the CW.
The fieldbus CW is either written to the drive as it is or the data is converted. See

.
The fieldbus Status Word (SW) is a 16-bit or 32-bit packed boolean word. It contains
status information from the drive to the fieldbus controller. The drive SW is either
written to the fieldbus SW as it is or the data is converted. See section

References
EFB references 1 and 2 are 16-bit or 32-bit signed integers. The contents of each
reference word can be used as the source of virtually any signal, such as the speed,
frequency, torque or process reference. In embedded fieldbus communication,
references 1 and 2 are displayed by
03.09
EFB reference 1
and
03.10
EFB reference
2
respectively. Whether the references are scaled or not depends on the settings of
58.26
EFB ref1 type
and
58.27
EFB ref2 type
. See section

Actual values
Fieldbus actual signals (ACT1 and ACT2) are 16-bit or 32-bit signed integers. They
convey selected drive parameter values from the drive to the master. Whether the
actual values are scaled or not depends on the settings of
58.28
EFB act1 type
and
58.29
EFB act2 type
. See section

Data input/outputs
Data input/outputs are 16-bit or 32-bit words containing selected drive parameter
values. Parameters
58.101
Data I/O 1
…
58.114
Data I/O 14
define the addresses
from which the master either reads data (input) or to which it writes data (output).
Register addressing
The address field of Modbus requests for accessing holding registers is 16 bits. This
allows the Modbus protocol to support addressing of 65536 holding registers.
Historically, Modbus master devices used 5-digit decimal addresses from 40001 to
49999 to represent holding register addresses. The 5-digit decimal addressing limited
to 9999 the number of holding registers that could be addressed.
