Control word and Status word
The Control word is the principal means for controlling the drive 
from a fieldbus system. It is sent by the fieldbus master to the drive 
through the adapter module. The drive switches between its states 
according to the bit-coded instructions in the Control word, and 
returns status information to the master in the Status word.
The start and stop of the drive and several mode-specific 
commands are executed by the device control state machine. This 
is described in figure State machine on page 82.
