Communication profiles

What this chapter contains

This chapter describes the communication profiles used in the
communication between the EtherCAT network, the adapter
module and the drive.
Communication profiles
Communication profiles are ways of conveying control commands
(Control word, Status word, references and actual values) between
the master station and the drive.
With the FECA-01 module, the master may employ either the
CANopen CiA 402 (Device Profile Drives and Motion Control)
profile or the ABB Drives profile. Both are converted to the native
profile (eg, DCU or FBA) by the adapter module. In addition, a
Transparent profile is available. With the Transparent mode, no
data conversion takes place in the module.
The profile is selected from the drive with parameter 02 PROFILE
in the fieldbus configuration group 1. For example, if parameter 02
PROFILE is set to 0 (CiA 402), the CiA 402 profile is used.
The following sections describe the Control word, the Status word,
references and actual values for the CANopen device profile CiA
402 and ABB Drives communication profile. See the drive manuals
for details on the native communication profiles.
