Safety Instructions Overview This chapter states the safety instructions that must be followed when installing and operating the NCSA-01 CS 31 Adapter Module. The material in this chapter must be studied before attempting any work on, or with, the unit.
Safety Instructions General Safety WARNING! All electrical installation and maintenance work on the drive should be carried out by qualified electricians. Instructions The drive and adjoining equipment must be properly earthed. Do not attempt any work on a powered drive. After switching off the mains, always allow the intermediate circuit capacitors 5 minutes to discharge before working on the frequency converter, the motor or the motor cable.
Chapter 1 – Introduction Contents This chapter contains a description of the NCSA-01 CS 31 Adapter Module Installation and Start-up Guide. Intended Audience The Guide is intended for the people who are responsible for installing, commissioning, and using the NCSA-01 CS 31 Adapter Module with an ABB drive.
DDCS Distributed Drives Communication System; a communication protocol used in fibre optic links in ABB drives. Parameter A parameter is an operating instruction for the drive. Parameters can be read and programmed with the drive control panel.
NCSA-01 The NCSA-01 CS 31 Adapter Module is an optional device that enables connection of an ABB drive to a CS 31 system. The module is considered as a remote input/output unit in the system. A total of 30 remote units (e.g. NCSA-01 Modules) can be connected to one CS 31 master.
18 months, from the date of delivery. Extended warranty may be available with certified start-up. Contact your local distributor for details. Your local ABB Drives company or distributor may have a different war- ranty period, which is specified in their sales terms, conditions, and warranty terms.
Chapter 3 – Mechanical Installation Contents This chapter contains module mounting instructions. Depending on the drive, the module can be installed either inside or outside the drive housing or cabinet. See the user’s manual of the drive for module placement options. Mounting Outside Choose the location for the module.
Chapter 3 – Mechanical Installation Mounting Inside The work inside the drive should be carried out by a qualified electrician only. the Drive WARNING! Pay attention to the slowly discharging voltage of the capacitor bank and the voltages that are connected from external control circuits to the inputs and outputs of the drive.
Chapter 4 – Electrical Installation Contents This chapter contains: • Cabling instructions • Instructions for bus termination • Connection and earthing instructions for the NCSA-01 Module and earthing instructions for the bus cable. WARNING! Before installation, switch off the drive power supply. Wait for five minutes to ensure that the capacitor bank of the drive is discharged.

Chapter 4 – Electrical Installation Earthing The NCSA-01 module earth is connected to the rail onto which the module is mounted. If the rail is fastened to an earthed metallic assembly plate, the module is automatically earthed, and no external earthing wire is needed.
Please refer to the documentation delivered with the master station for information on its configuration. Type definition programs for various master stations are available from your local ABB representative. Drive Configuration The detailed procedure of activating the module for communication with the drive is dependent on drive type.

ABB drives can receive control information from multiple sources including digital inputs, analogue inputs, the drive control panel and a communication module (e.g. NCSA-01). ABB drives allow the user to separately determine the source for each type of control information (Start, Stop, Direction, Reference, Fault Reset, etc.).
Chapter 6 – Communication Contents This chapter describes the contents of the messages used for communication between the CS 31 and the drive. Also introduced are the addresses in the CS 31 master register areas into which the drive data is written. CS 31 Messaging In the CS 31 system, the master sends messages cyclically to each slave station.
Chapter 6 – Communication Drive Control Data The figure below shows the message frame for drive control data. Note: The numbering of the control data sets shown below applies when Parameter 10 DATA SET OFFSET is set to its default, 1. For information on selecting different data set numbers, see Chapter 5, section 10 DATA SET OFFSET.
Chapter 6 – Communication Drive Feedback Data The figure below shows the message frame for drive feedback data. Note: The numbering of the control data sets shown below applies when Parameter 10 DATA SET OFFSET is set to its default, 1. For information on selecting other data set numbers, see Chapter 5, section 10 DATA SET OFFSET.
ABB drives can receive control information from multiple sources including analogue and digital inputs, the drive control panel and a communication module (e.g. NCSA-01). In order to have the drive controlled through Interbus-S, the communication module must be defined as the source for control information, eg.
Chapter 7 – Fault Tracing Contents This chapter gives diagnostics information for finding out the root causes and corrections to the most common problems with the NCSA-01 module. Installation Problems Verify all the connections of the module. Check that • the CS 31 bus cable is connected correctly to terminal block X2. •...
Chapter 4. ERROR The ERROR LED indicates a hardware error, and should always be off. If the ERROR LED is illuminated, contact an ABB service representative. Normal Power-up On module power-up, the NCSA-01 goes through a self-test sequence.
