Control Word
The control word (object 0x6040) contains bits which trigger transitions between the states of the
drive state machine, bits whose function depends on the selected mode of operation, and bits for
manufacturer specific options.

Table 1: All bits of the CiA402 control word
The transitions between the drive states are triggered by combinations of bits 0, 1, 2, 3 and 7 of
the control word. If the
Quick stop active
state is not supported by the EtherCAT master, bit 2 of
the control word must always be set.
