Control interface
In general, the basic control interface between the fieldbus system and the drive
consists of:
• Output Words:
– CONTROL WORD
– REFERENCE (speed or frequency)
• Input Words:
– STATUS WORD
– Actual Value (speed or frequency)
Note: The words "output" and "input" are used as seen from the fieldbus controller
point of view. For example an output describes data flow from the fieldbus controller
to the drive and appears as an input from the drive point of view.
The meanings of the controller interface words are not restricted by the ACH580.
However, the profile used may set particular meanings.
