Let's Get Connected ABB Network Communication Adapter FCAN-01

Network adapter modules are flexible plug-in adapters that provide quick and easy universal connectivity to all major controllers.

Universal connectivity means that ABB low voltage inverters can be connected to virtually any brand of controller and communications network, enabling users to choose the best network for their needs.

Users can choose the best network to meet their needs.

The product's network connectivity provides a simplified interface for drive control and management, improving quality, productivity, flexibility and scalability.

Communication networks also reduce wiring costs compared to traditional I/O connections.

traditional I/O connections.

Combining these feature-rich adapter modules with ABB inverters can provide a solution for applications focused on food and beverage, material handling, printing,

rubber-plastics and textile industries OEMs and system integrators with powerful inverter solutions.

CANopen: FCA-01 (+K457)

The adapter module complies with the CiA (CAN for Automation) standard DSP 402 (Drive and Motion Control Device Profile).

The CANopen device profile defines direct access to drive parameters and communication of process data at     critical moments.

Control network: FCNA-01 (+K462)

The adapter supports redundant RG-6 quad-screened cables (coaxial) for bus connections and is compatible with all ControlNet

protocol. The module is also equipped with a NAP (Network Access Port).The FCNA-01 controls both standard ControlNet-based objects and vendor-specific objects.

DeviceNet: FCNA-01 (+K451)

The DeviceNet adapter module acts as a Class 2 slave with predefined master-slave connection services.

These services include explicit messaging, PollResponse service and Change of tate/Cyclic service.

The adapter supports ODVA AC/DC drive function profiles and ABB drive profiles with additional functions.

EtherCAT: FECA-01 (+K469)

This adapter module supports CANopen DSP 402 (Device Profile Drive and Motion Control) profiles or ABB drive profiles.

The FECA-01 implements an EtherCAT state machine, four synchronization manager channels (for controlling access to application memory),

two watchdogs as well as specified EtherCAT® services, addressing modes and FMMUs.

EtherNet/IP: FENA-01 (+K466) / FENA-21 (+K475) / FEIP-21 (+K490)

The adapter modules are used as EtherNet/IP servers and support ODVA AC/DC drives, ABB drives and transparent profiles.

The adapter module supports both explicit messaging (setting each property of a class individually) and implicit messaging (using input and output instances). the FENA-21 supports DLR (Device Level Ring).

EtherNet PowerLink: FEPL-02 (+K470)

Ethernet PowerLink is a communication profile for real-time Ethernet communication.The FEPL-02 module supports the CiA 402 and ABB Drives profiles.

In addition, two transparent modes are available (for 16-bit and 32-bit words).

The Modbus-RTU FMBA-01 (+K458) / FSCA-01 / FRSA-00 adapter module connects the drive to an RS-485 Modbus-RTU network.

Common read/write function codes for single and multiple registers are supported.
