EtherNet/IP – Communication profiles 159
EtherNet/IP – Communication
profiles
Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes the communication profiles used in the
communication between the EtherNet/IP client, the adapter
module and the drive.
Communication profiles
Communication profiles are ways of conveying control commands
(Control word, Status word, references and actual values) between
the master station and the drive.
With the FENA adapter module, the EtherNet/IP network may
employ either the ODVA AC/DC drive profile or the ABB Drives
profile. Both are converted to the native profile (eg, DCU or FBA)
by the adapter module. In addition, two Transparent modes – for
16-bit and 32-bit words respectively – are available. With the
Transparent modes, no data conversion takes place.
