INFORMATION ABOUT THE MANUAL
This Manual provides all information required for the Soft-Starter SSW-06 operation on network, using the
optional communication board for the Profibus DP, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET. In this section are
discussed following subjects:
■ Description of the communication kit.
■ Soft-Starter SSW-06 characteristics on Fieldbus network.
■ Soft-Starter SSW-06 Parameter setting.
■ Soft-Starter operation via Fieldbus interface.
■ Errors and possible causes.
This Manual must be used joint the Soft-Starter SSW-06 Operation Manual.
FIELDBUS NETWORKS
“Fieldbus” is a generic term used for describing a digital communication system interconnecting several field
installed equipments, such as sensors, actuators and controllers. The Fieldbus network operates as a local
communication network.
Currently are used different types of protocols for the communication between field installed equipments,
inclusive Profibus DP, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET protocols. In this section, where the use of the
communication board for Profibus DP, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET protocols is described, the term
Fieldbus is used to designate generically these protocols.
