PROFINET IO and CI871
The RETA-02 Ethernet Adapter module and FENA-01/-11 Ethernet Adapter
module are optional devices for ABB drives, which enables the connection of the
drive to a PROFINET IO (PNIO) network. The drive is considered as a PNIO device
on the PROFINET IO network, and it is compatible with all PNIO controller
stations that support PROFINET IO and sub-slots.
DriveBus Interface CI858
ABB drives can be connected to the AC 800M via the CI858 unit, see Figure 59 on
page 171 and Figure 60 on page 172. The drive interface can be used for controlling
up to 24 drives or inverter units.
Main communication functions of the drive connection are:
• Dataset communication
• Broadcast system time
• Supervision and diagnostics functions
The data exchange between the AC 800M and the CI858 consists of eight datasets.
The drive connection is able to transfer at the maximum 8 datasets / 1 ms.
Connection of multiple drives requires the use of a branching unit, which enables
the construction of a logical bus with physical star topology, see Figure 60 on page
172. The branching units can be chained.
The following drives are supported by the drive connection:
• ACS 600 single drive
• ACS 600 multi drive
• ACS 600 thyristor supply units
• ACS 600 IGBT supply units
• ACS 800 product family
• ACS 140-AC S400
• DCS 600 and DCS 400
• ACS 6000 product family/large drives
