Communication profiles
What this chapter contains
This chapter describes the communication profiles used in the
communication between the PROFIBUS network, 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 FPBA-01 module, the PROFIBUS network may employ
either the PROFIdrive profile or the ABB Drives profile. Both are
converted to the native profile (e.g., 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.
