5 The Actuator Cyclic Data Signals
The Profibus DP Module allows the actuator to be controlled
by, and to report data to, a suitable host device using Profibus
DP protocol. This section explains the data signals that are
presented during cyclic V0 data exchange and their meaning
in relation to the actuator functionality. The register locations
used for the data exchange are given later in this manual.
This section also gives information on the other control inputs
available for moving the actuator.
