  • Page 11: Terms Used In This Manual

    The RMBA-01 Adapter module is one of the optional Adapter module fieldbus adapter modules available for ACS 800 drives. The RMBA-01 is a device through which an ACS 800 drive is connected to a Modbus serial communication bus. Broadcast write Modbus network allows the Modbus master to perform a write to every slave station at the same time.

  • Page 21: Chapter 4 - Programming

    ABB drives can receive control information from multiple sources including digital inputs, analogue inputs, the drive control panel and a communication module (e.g. RMBA-01). ABB drives allow the user to separately determine the source for each type of control information (Start, Stop, Direction, Reference, Fault Reset, etc.).
