Embedded fieldbus
Overview
The ACS550 can be set up to accept control from an external system using standard
serial communication protocols. When using serial communication, the ACS550 can
either:
• receive all of its control information from the fieldbus, or
• be controlled from some combination of fieldbus control and other available
control locations, such as digital or analog inputs and the control panel.
Two basic serial communications configurations are available:
• embedded fieldbus (EFB) – Using the RS485 interface at terminals X1:28…32 on
the control board, a control system can communicate with the drive using the
Modbus® protocol. (For protocol and profile descriptions, see sections Modbus
protocol technical data and ABB control profiles technical data later in this
chapter.)
• fieldbus adapter (FBA) – See chapter Fieldbus adapter on page 221.
Control interface
In general, the basic control interface between Modbus and the drive consists of:
• Output words
–Control Word
– Reference1
– Reference2
• Input words
–Status Word
– Actual value 1
– Actual value 2
