of the drive.
Short form for ACS5000 frequency converter
A cluster is a synonym for a group of hardware modules of the drive control system.
Distributed drive control system
DDCS is an acronym for a serial communication protocol designed for data transfer via
optical fibers.
Short form for ACS5000 frequency converter
The drive system includes all equipment used to convert electrical into mechanical power
to give motion to the machine.
Communication link dedicated for ABB drives
DriveDebug is part of ABB's DriveWare® software tools for drives using the DDCS
communications protocol. DriveDebug runs on computers with Windows® operating
systems. DriveDebug is a specialist's tool used to diagnose, tune and troubleshoot ABB
drives.
DriveWindow is a DriveWare® product. DriveWindow is a 32-bit Windows® application
for commissioning and maintaining ABB drives equipped with optical communication
