Fieldbus control through a fieldbus adapter 407
Fieldbus control through a
fieldbus adapter
What this chapter contains
This chapter describes how the drive can be controlled by external devices over a
communication network (fieldbus) through an optional fieldbus adapter module.
The fieldbus control interface of the drive is described first, followed by a
configuration example.
System overview
The drive can be connected to an external control system through an optional
fieldbus adapter mounted onto the control unit of the drive. The drive actually has one
independent interfaces for fieldbus connection, called “fieldbus adapter A” (FBA A).
The drive can be configured to receive all of its control information through the
fieldbus interface(s), or the control can be distributed between the fieldbus
interface(s) and other available sources such as digital and analog inputs, depending
on how control locations EXT1 and EXT2 are configured.
Note: The text and examples in this chapter describe the configuration of one
fieldbus adapter (FBA A) by parameters 50.01…50.21 and parameter groups 51…53.
