16-bit or 32-bit word from master to slave with bit-
coded control signals (sometimes called the
Command word).
Frequency converter for controlling AC motors. The
drive consists of a rectifier and an inverter connected
together by the DC link. In drives up to approximately
500 kW, these are integrated into a single module
(drive module). Larger drives typically consist of
separate supply and inverter units.
This manual uses the term drive to refer converters
and inverter as well.
One of the optional fieldbus adapter modules
available for ABB drives. FENA-01/-11/-21 is a device
through which an ABB drive is connected to an
Ethernet network.
Device through which the drive is connected to an
external communication network, that is, a fieldbus.
The communication with the module is activated with
a drive parameter.
Media Access Control address.
A unique factory-programmed identifier used to
address a node in an Ethernet network.
Adaptation of the protocol for certain application field,
for example, drives.
In this manual, drive-internal profiles (eg, DCU or
FBA) are called native profiles.
16-bit or 32-bit word from slave to master with bit-
coded status messages.
