CANopen Control Word
The status machine for the control word corresponds to the CANopen status machine.
- The control word indicates the received command controlling the state machine.
- It is only read during Operational status.
- The control commands allow the manipulation of the state of a drive by setting its control word.
- Commands are built up from the logical combination of the bits in the control word and external signals (e.g., enable output stage).
