9.4.1 Using Fieldbus Adapter Modules for Control of the Drive
If a Fieldbus Adapter Module is used to control and monitor the drive, the module must be congured in Group 50 and 51
(for FBA-A) or 54 (for FBA-B). Parameters that must be congured are shown below:
• Group 50 – Fieldbus Adapter
– 50.01 (for FBA-A or 50.31 for FBA-B) must be set to the Option Slot that corresponds to the actual slot where the
Fieldbus Adapter Module is physically installed.
– 50.07 and 50.08 should be programmed to Transparent
– 50.09 (for FBA-A or 50.39 for FBA-B) must be set to map to Parameter 6.11[16] to map the Status Word of the
drive to the communication link
– 50.10 (for FBA-A or 50.40 for FBA-B) must to set to map to Parameter 1.01[16]to map the Actual Speed Used of
the drive to the communication link
– 50.11 (for FBA-A or 50.40 for FBA-B) must to set to map to Parameter 1.10[16] to map the Motor Torque of the
drive to the communication link
• Group 51 (for FBA-A) or Group 54 (for FBA-B)
– 51.01 the Type of Fieldbus Adapter Module physically installed in the drive (Ethernet, Probus, DeviceNet, etc.)
– 51.02 must be set to match the protocol desired and the Transparent 16 Prole. For example, if Ethernet is used
and the MODBUS-TCP Protocol is desired, then this parameter must be set to “MB/TCP T16”.
Important Note: Only the Transparent 16 Profile can be used with the ACS880+N5350 CTDD Drive due to
the fact that additional Control Word Bits and Status Word Bits are used in the CTDD Application that are
not supported in the other profiles.
– 51.03 and other subsequent parameters should be set to match the Baud Rate, Drive Drop Address, etc. of your
specic Fieldbus Network. Please see the appropriate Fieldbus Adapter Module Manual for information on your
specic Fieldbus Adapter.
• Group 52 – FBA-A Data In (or Group 55 – FBA-B Data In)
– The rst three Read Only Words moved over the communications link will be the Drive Status Word, the Actual
Speed, and the Motor Torque.
– To congure additional Read Only Words to be moved from the drive over the communications link, set parameters
52.01 up to 52.12 to the Read Only Parameters you wish to send over the communications link.
• Group 53 – FBA-A Data Out (or Group 55 – FBA-B Data Out)
– The rst two Words sent from the controller over the communications link to the drive will be the Control Word, and
the Speed Reference. The third word is not used.
– To congure additional Words to be sent from the controller over the communications link to the drive, set
parameters 53.01 up to 53.12 to the Parameters you wish the drive to receive over the communications link.
After making changes to the Communications Groups (50 thru 55) always set parameter 51.27 to “Refresh” to update the
drive and Fieldbus Modules to accept the changes and refresh the communications setup.
For an example setup using an Ethernet Fieldbus Adapter to control the drive over MODBUS-TCP Ethernet, please see
Appendix E.
