Communication profiles
Overview
This chapter describes the communication profiles used in the
communication between the PROFIBUS network, the FPBA-01
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 DCU/FBA profile (detailed in the drive
documentation) by the FPBA-01 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.
