Fieldbus control through the embedded fieldbus interface (EFB)   365
Setting up the embedded fieldbus interface
Set the drive up for the embedded fieldbus communication with the parameters 
shown in the table below. The Setting for fieldbus control column gives either the 
value to use or the default value. The Function/Information column gives a 
description of the parameter.

Function/Information
COMMUNICATION INITIALIZATION
58.01 Protocol enable Modbus RTU Initializes embedded fieldbus communication.
EMBEDDED MODBUS CONFIGURATION
58.03 Node address 1 (default) Node address. There must be no two nodes 
with the same node address online.
58.04 Baud rate 19.2 kbps (default) Defines the communication speed of the link. 
Use the same setting as in the master station.
58.05 Parity 8 EVEN 1 (default) Selects the parity and stop bit setting. Use the 
same setting as in the master station.
58.14 Communication 
loss action
Fault (default) Defines the action taken when a 
communication loss is detected.
58.15 Communication 
loss mode
Cw / Ref1 / Ref2 
(default)
Enables/disables communication loss 
monitoring and defines the means for 
resetting the counter of the communication 
loss delay. 
58.16 Communication 
loss time
3.0 s (default) Defines the timeout limit for the 
communication monitoring.
58.17 Transmit delay 0 ms (default) Defines a response delay for the drive.
58.25 Control profile ABB Drives 
(default)
Selects the control profile used by the drive.

interface (page 368).

nt (default for 
58.27) Speed, 
Frequency
Defines the types of fieldbus references 1 and 
2. The 
scaling for each reference type is 
defined by parameters 46.01…46.03. With 
the Speed or frequency setting, the type is 
selected automatically according to the 
currently active drive control mode.

General, Speed, 
Frequency
Defines the types of actual values 1 and 2. 
The 
scaling for each actual value type is 
defined by parameters 46.01…46.03. With 
the Speed or frequency setting, the type is 
selected automatically according to the 
currently active drive control mode.
