ABB ACS800 Series - Setting up Communication through a Fieldbus Adapter Module

Fieldbus control

Setting up communication through a fieldbus adapter module
Fieldbus adapters for several communication protocols are available (e.g.
PROFIBUS and Modbus). Rxxx type fieldbus adapter modules are mounted in
expansion slot 1 of the drive. Nxxx type fieldbus adapter modules are connected to
channel CH0 of the RDCO module.
Note: For instructions on setting up an RMBA-01 module, see section Setting up
communication through the Standard Modbus Link on page 143.
Before configuring the drive for fieldbus control, the adapter module must be
mechanically and electrically installed according to the instructions given in the
hardware manual of the drive, and the module manual.
The following table lists the parameters which need to be defined when setting up
communication through a fieldbus adapter.

FIELDBUS
ADVANT
STD MODBUS
FIELDBUS Initializes communication between drive
and fieldbus adapter module. Activates
module set-up parameters (Group 51).
ADAPTER MODULE CONFIGURATION
51.01 MODULE
TYPE
– – Displays the type of the fieldbus adapter
module.
51.02 (FIELDBUS
PARAMETER 2)…
51.26 (FIELDBUS
PARAMETER 26)
These parameters are adapter module-specific. For more information, see
the module manual. Note that not all of these parameters are necessarily
visible.
51.27 FBA PAR
REFRESH*
(0) DONE
(1) REFRESH
– Validates any changed adapter module
configuration parameter settings. After
refreshing, the value reverts automatically
to DONE.
51.28 FILE CPI FW
REV*
xyz (binary
coded decimal
– Displays the required CPI firmware
revision of the fieldbus adapter as defined
in the configuration file stored in the
memory of the drive. The CPI firmware
version of the fieldbus adapter (refer to
par. 51.32) must contain the same or a
later CPI version to be compatible.
x = major revision number;
y = minor revision number;
z = correction number.
Example: 107 = revision 1.07.
51.29 FILE
CONFIG ID*
xyz (binary
coded decimal)
– Displays the fieldbus adapter module
configuration file identification stored in
the memory of the drive. This information
is drive control program-dependent.
