Embedded fieldbus

Overview

The ABB E-Clipse bypass can be set up to accept control for the ACH580 drive and/
or the E-Clipse Bypass from an external system using standard communication
protocols. When using communication, the ABB E-Clipse bypass can:
• Receive system control information from the fieldbus,
• Receive drive only control information from the fieldbus, or
• Be controlled from some combination of fieldbus control and other available
control locations, such as digital or analog inputs, and the control panel.
Connect using either:
• Standard embedded fieldbus (EFB) at
• Fieldbus adapter (FBA) module
Two basic fieldbus communications configurations are available:
• Embedded fieldbus (EFB) – Using the EIA 485 interface at terminals X2:26...30
on the control board, a control system can communicate with the system using:
– Modbus® - RTU EIA 485
– Metasys® N2 EIA 485
– BACnet® MS/TP EIA 485
• Fieldbus adapter (FBA) – See
NOTE: Throughout this manual, references to parameters pertain to parameters and
adjustments in the ABB E-Clipse Bypass.
Unless specifically called-out as drive parameters, all parameter adjustments are in
the ABB E-Clipse bypass.
