Hello, I am using a XCS as a standalone power supply, and need to know if there is a reset bit on the power supply control word. The parameter documentation does not have any fault reset bit, Do I have to map my own control word to do this or is there a reset faults bit on the control word somewhere?
Thanks

If you want a bit in your process data for resetting the drive, then I recommend adding the signal control word S145 to your process data and configuring it in Drive Engineering to include S99 C500 Reset Command.
If you're also using the PLC App you could consider using the MC_Reset function block. Or more specific to your application, add the library CXA_Drive_Util, and have a look at the PowerSupply POUs and the examples folder there.

There is another option for EtherCAT with Servodrive profile (without S145)
=> Real-time control bit in S134

Thanks EngJay,
I was aware of these solutions, but this is an XCS power supply that we are not using the drive on, just it's power supply. MC reset as far as I am aware needs an Axis config with a drive profile to work, and only the standalone power supply block has a clear error input in the drive utils. I imagine that i could perhaps use the standalone block though, as the control word I would imagine is the same for either. If that doesn't work I'll probably just do an SOE command for the reset since it's not RT so it doesn't need to be in process data.
Thanks for the advice
