The controlword is used to:

  • Check controller status.
  • Check parameters related to operation modes.

Bits marked with an '"x" are irrelevant.

The mode specific bits depend on the mode of operation selected. More information can be found in the corresponding section: 

Note that Fault reset command will be executed only in a rising edge transition.

If the halt bit is activated (writing a 1) the movement will be stopped using Quick stop deceleration. After releasing the halt bit the system will maintain the position or velocity but it will not continue the previous movement.

When working with BLAC motors with forced alignment method for initial angle determination, the alignment process will be executed when executing the Enable operation command for first time.

Note that the Quick stop bit is activated at a low level.
