Using Pack Bits Control Words
Once the Control Word(s) have been configured by the user, they can be utilized by fieldbus communications (i.e. Modbus,
EtherNet I/P, Profibus, DeviceNet, etc.) or within a user program. Figure 88 shows an example in which the user will write to
the Control Word 0 and 1 via Ethernet I/P.

8.5.11 Pack Bits Status Words View
Status Words work to pass bit-level status information from the drive back to the master device as a 16-bit word(s). The user
configures the Status Word(s) by dragging-and-dropping the desired bit-level parameters they wish to read onto the Status
Word mapping. Figure 89 below shows the Packed Bits Status Words view onto which the user has dragged several status
parameters.
