Table 4.F shows the register outputs. These outputs must be used for writing
multi-bit commands and the Reference.
Viewing the Logic Status and Feedback
On Modbus RTU, there are two ways to view the logic status: discrete
inputs (
Table 4.G ) and register inputs ( Table 4.H on page 4-8 ). You can use
discrete inputs when you need to view only one bit in the logic status word.
For example, to view whether a PowerFlex 70/700 drive is Ready (bit 0),
you can use a discrete input (Modbus Address 1x0001).
When you need to view multi-bit fields in the logic status word or to view
the entire logic status word, you must use a register input to maintain data
integrity. For example, to view the local control of a PowerFlex 70/700
drive (bits 9…11), you must use a register input (Modbus Address 3x0001).
To view the Feedback, you must also use a register input (Modbus Address
3x0002 and/or 3x0003). For details about how the feedback is scaled, refer
to the
Setting the Logic Command and Reference on page 4-5 .
Table 4.G shows that there are 16 discrete points to represent the status
word bit by bit. These points can be used only for reading single-bit status.

Output Description Values
4x0001 Product Logic Command 16-bit word. Bit definitions for PowerFlex 70/700 drives are in
Table 4.E . For other products, refer to their documentation.
4x0002 Reference Lo Bit 0…15 of 32-bit reference.
4x0003
(1)
(1) The reference value is sent only when accessing address 4x0003. If a 32-bit reference is used, the 32-bit value
will be merged together by register 4x0002 and 4x0003 when accessing address 4x0003.
Reference Hi Bit 16…31 of 32-bit reference or the whole 16-bit reference.
