Fieldbus Adapter

Overview

The ACS550 can be set up to accept control from an external system using standard
serial communication protocols. When using serial communication, the ACS550 can
either:
• Receive all of its 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 serial communications configurations are available:
• Embedded fieldbus (EFB) – See "Embedded Fieldbus" on page 148.
• Fieldbus adapter (FBA) – With one of the optional FBA modules in the drive's
expansion slot 2, the drive can communicate to a control system using one of the
following protocols:
– Profibus-DP®
– LonWorks®
– CANopen®
– DeviceNet®
– ControlNet®
The ACS550 detects automatically which communication protocol is used by the
plug-in fieldbus adapter. The default settings for each protocol assume that the
profile used is the protocol's industry-standard drive profile (e.g. PROFIdrive for
PROFIBUS, AC/DC Drive for DeviceNet). All of the FBA protocols can also be
configured for the ABB Drives profile.
Configuration details depend on the protocol and profile used.These details are
provided in a user's manual supplied with the FBA module.
Details for the ABB Drives profile (which apply for all protocols) are provided in "ABB
Drives Profile Technical Data" on page 190.
