ABB RPBA-01 PROFIBUS-DP adapter module

RPBA-01

Functional features: PROFIBUS-DP adapter for ABB ACS800 inverter, connected to PROFIBUS - DP network, as DP slave, high-speed data transmission.

Communication protocol: PROFIBUS - DP protocol.

Application scenario: Industrial automation systems based on PROFIBUS - DP network, such as automobile manufacturing and power automation, to achieve equipment integrated communication.

The RPBA-01 is a PROFIBUS-DP adapter module designed by ABB for its drives. Here is a detailed introduction:

Function and Application

Network Connection: It enables ABB drives to be connected to a PROFIBUS network, allowing the drives to function as slaves on the network.

Data Exchange and Control: It facilitates the transmission of control commands such as start, stop, and run enable to the drive. It can also feed motor speed or torque references to the drive, provide process actual values or references to the drive's PID controller, read status information and actual values from the drive, change drive parameter values, and reset drive faults. It is suitable for applications in automation systems that require reliable communication with PROFIBUS - DP networks, such as industrial drives, manufacturing processes, and system monitoring setups.

Hardware and Software Settings

Hardware Settings: It is equipped with rotary switches for node address selection, with an address range from 00 to 99. There is also a DIP switch for bus termination selection.

Software Settings: It involves input/output/user parameter data/diagnostics format. The maximum cyclic I/O data size is 244 bytes (input), 244 bytes (output), and 416 bytes in total. The maximum user parameter/data/diagnostics length is 237 bytes.

Technical Specifications

Connectors: It has a 34-pin parallel bus connector and a 9 - pin female D - sub connector for network connection.

Certifications: The materials used are UL/CSA - approved, ensuring compliance with international standards. It meets EN 50081-2 and EN 50082-2 standards for electromagnetic compatibility.

Estimated Lifetime: The estimated lifetime is 100,000 hours, ensuring long-term reliable operation.
