Overview of the BACnet/IP network and the FBIP-21 module 19
FBIP-21 BACnet/IP adapter module
The FBIP-21 BACnet/IP adapter module is an optional device for
ABB drives which enables the connection of the drive to a
BACnet/IP network. For example, the FBIP-21 BACnet/IP adapter
module connects the ACH580 drive designed for HVAC and
refrigeration applications.
Through the adapter module you can:
•
give control commands to the drive (for example, Start, Stop,
Run permissive)
•
give a motor speed or torque reference to the drive
•
give a process actual value or a process setpoint to the PID
controller of the drive
•
read status information and actual values from the drive
•
reset a drive fault
•
read and command analog and digital I/Os of the drive.
The adapter module is installed into an option slot on the drive
control unit. See the drive manuals for module placement options.
