I have looked through some posts on the site and have not found this specifically addressed. Please forgive me if I just didn't see it. I am usually a lurker on this site and don't participate too much.
I am reading a the staus word off of a micromaster 440 through profibus and I would like to know what combination of bits indicate that the micromaster is operating (running). What confuses me is the manual that says bit 0 - ready to start, bit 1 - ready to start, bit 2 operation enabled.
The fault bit 3 doesn't help because The VFD can be off and not faulted.
The only thing I came up with is to read the actual speed and if greater than 0 AND if fault bit is zero then the VFD is running.
Can anyone tell me if they have another way based off of the staus word to tell if the VFD is moving.
