Inverter control unit
One BCU-0x control unit is required per inverter unit. The type of the control unit depends
on the number of inverter modules as shown below. The control unit is delivered with a
memory unit containing the ACS880 primary control program, optionally with application
programmability. For availability of other control programs, contact your local ABB
representative.
