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).
