■ References
References are 16-bit words containing a sign bit and a 15-bit integer. A negative
reference (indicating reversed direction of rotation) is formed by calculating the two’s
complement from the corresponding positive reference.
ABB drives can receive control information from multiple sources including analog and
digital inputs, the drive control panel and a fieldbus adapter module. In order to have
the drive controlled through the fieldbus, the module must be defined as the source for
control information such as reference. This is done using the source selection parameters
in groups 22 Speed reference selection, 26 Torque reference chain and 28 Frequency
reference chain.
Debugging the network words
If parameter 50.12 FBA A debug mode is set to Fast, the references received from the
fieldbus are displayed by 50.14 FBA A reference 1 and 50.15 FBA A reference 2.
Scaling of references
Note: The scalings described below are for the ABB Drives communication profile.
Fieldbus-specific communication profiles may use different scalings. For more
information, see the manual of the fieldbus adapter
The references are scaled as defined by parameters 46.01...46.07; which scaling is in
use depends on the setting of 50.4 FBA A ref1 type and 50.5 FBA A ref2 type.
