The Control Word and the Status Word
Holding registers: 40001 (Control Word), 40004 (Status Word)
The Control Word (CW) is the principal means for controlling the drive from a fieldbus system. It is
effective when
• The drive is in external (remote) control and the controlling commands are received through
serial communication channel (set by parameters 1001 EXT1 COMMANDS, 1002 EXT2 COM-
MANDS and 1102 EXT1/EXT2 SEL), and
• Serial communication channel that is used for the controlling is Standard Modbus (parameter
5006 COMM COMMANDS is set to 1 (
STD MODBUS).
The Control Word (detailed in Table 22) is sent by the fieldbus master station to the drive. The drive
switches between its states according to the bit-coded instructions of the Control Word. See also
state machine on CROSSREF.
The Status Word (SW) is a word containing status information, sent by the drive to the master
station. The composition of the Status Word is explained in Table 24.
Note! Operation of Control Word and Status Word conforms to ABB Drives Profile with the
exception of Control Word bit #10 (REMOTE_CMD), which is not used by the ACS 400.
