Chapter 8 Fieldbus communication
8.1 Overview
The PSE Softstarter has an interface on the front for connecting the ABB Field-
BusPlug used for fieldbus communication. Through this interface it is possible to
control the softstarter, retreive status information, as well as upload and download
of parameters.
The interface between the softstarter and the FieldBusPlug is independent of
the fieldbus protocol used. Independent of softstarter size or delivery date it is
possible to connect any of the available Fieldbus protocols later on, since this is
defined in the FieldBusPlug itself.
The following Fieldbus protocols are available:
• DeviceNet
• CANopen
• Profibus
• Modbus
More information about the installation of fieldbus communication is available in
chapter 7.5.12 FieldBus Control (optional hardware required).
