Abstract
A control system may be provided for a controlled system such as a drive or inverter system. To provide for control in such system, a master controller may be present to receive, via a second communication protocol from a cabinet controller coupled to the master controller, status information of a controlled device, generate control information based at least in part on the status information, and transmit the control information to the cabinet controller via the second communication protocol. In turn, the cabinet controller can generate and communicate a control packet to the controlled device via a first communication protocol. This packet can be interleaved within another message communicated from the cabinet controller to the device.
