The PROFIdrive communication profile
The Control Word and the Status Word
The Control Word (PROFIBUS Parameter 967) is the principal
means for controlling the drive from a fieldbus system. It is sent by
the fieldbus master station to the drive through the adapter
module. The drive switches between its states according to the bit-
coded instructions on the Control Word, and returns status
information to the master in the Status Word (PROFIBUS
Parameter 968).
The contents of the Control Word and the Status Word are
detailed in Tables 7 and 8 respectively; see the drive
documentation for information on the drive-specific bits. The drive
states are presented in the PROFIBUS State Machine (Figure 9).
References
References are 16-bit words containing a sign bit and a 15-bit
integer. A negative reference (indicating reversed direction of
rotation) is formed by calculating the two’s complement from the
corresponding positive reference.
ABB drives can receive control information from multiple sources
including analogue and digital inputs, the drive control panel and a
communication module (e.g. FPBA-01). In order to have the drive
controlled through PROFIBUS, the communication module must
be defined as the source for control information, e.g. Reference.
Scaling
The speed reference (REF) in hexadecimal (0 … 4000h)
corresponds to 0 … 100% of Maximum Reference (as defined by
a drive parameter).
