Overview
ABB drives profile
The ABB Drives profile provides a standard profile that can be used on multiple 
protocols, including Modbus and the protocols available on the FBA module. Two 
implementations of the ABB drives profile are available:
•
ABB DRV FULL – This implementation standardizes the control interface with 
ACS600 and ACS800 drives. 
•
ABB DRV LIM – This implementation standardizes the control interface with 
ACH400 and ACH550 drives. This implementation does not support two control 
word bits supported by 
ABB DRV FULL.
Except as noted, the following ABB drives profile descriptions apply to both 
implementations.
DCU profile
The DCU profile extends the control and status interface to 32 bits.
Control Word
The 
CONTROL WORD is the principal means for controlling the bypass from a fieldbus 
system. The fieldbus master station sends the 
CONTROL WORD to the system . The 
drive switches between states according to the bit-coded instructions in the 
CONTROL 
WORD. Using the CONTROL WORD (ABB drives profile version) requires that:
• The drive is in remote (
REM) control.
• The serial communication channel used is configured to use an ABB control 
profile. For example, to use the control profile 
ABB DRV FULL, requires both bypass 
parameter 9802 
COMM PROT SEL = 1 (STD MODBUS), and bypass parameter 5305 
EFB CTRL PROFILE = 2 (ABB DRV FULL).
