Communication to SPRS
Contents of this chapter
This chapter provides information on communication profile used with the ACS880
IGBT based slip power recovery system.
Communication tools
 Drive composer
Drive composer PC tool is a 32-bit Windows application for commissioning and
maintaining ABB common architecture drives.
The full version is called Drive composer pro and the limited version is called Drive
composer entry. Both versions include a demo that allows testing user interface
functionality, edit parameter files offline (pro) or open and analyze saved monitored
files without connecting to a physical drive.
 Control panel
The ACS880 drive uses ACS-AP-I control panel for programming and locally
controlling the drive. For more details, see chapter Control Panel in the ACS880
primary control program firmware manual [3AUA0000085967 (English)].
Setting up communication to SPRS
The control program uses DDCS protocol to exchange data between the RDCO
boards. The SPRS RDCO fetches data from INV RDCO and ISU RDCO at intervals
of 10 ms.
An example connection with either a ZCU-based or BCU-based IGBT supply unit
using fiber optic cables is shown below.
