Fieldbus control257Generic Drive communication profileThe Generic Drive communication profile is active when parameter 98.07 is set toGENERIC. The Generic Drive profile realises the device profile for drives – speedcontrol only – as defined by specific fieldbus standards such as PROFIDRIVE forPROFIBUS, AC/DC Drive for DeviceNet, Drives and Motion Control for CANopen,etc. Each device profile specifies its Control and Status Words, Reference andActual value scaling. The profiles also define Mandatory services which aretransferred to the application interface of the drive in a standardised way.The Generic Drive communication profile can be used through both EXT1 andEXT2*. The proper functioning of the Generic Drive profile requires that ControlWord commands are enabled by setting parameter 10.01 or 10.02 (whichevercontrol location is active) to COMM.CW (or Par. 10.07 to 1) and by setting parameter16.01 to YES.*For vendor-specific support of EXT2 reference, see the appropriate fieldbusmanual.Note: The Generic Drive profile is only available with type Rxxx fieldbus adaptermodules.
