Communication profiles

The ACS800 supports three communication profiles:

• ABB Drives communication profile

• Generic Drive communication profile.
• CSA 2.8/3.0 communication profile.
The ABB Drives communication profile should be selected with type Nxxx fieldbus
adapter modules, and when the manufacturer-specific mode is selected (via the
PLC) with type Rxxx fieldbus adapter modules.
The Generic Drive profile is supported by type Rxxx fieldbus adapter modules only.
The CSA 2.8/3.0 communication profile can be selected for backward compatibility
with Application Program versions 2.8 and 3.0. This eliminates the need for
reprogramming the PLC when drives with the above-mentioned program versions
are replaced.
ABB Drives communication profile
The ABB Drives communication profile is active when parameter 98.07 is set to
ABB DRIVES. The Control Word, Status Word, and reference scaling for the profile
are described below.
The ABB Drives communication profile can be used through both EXT1 and EXT2.
The Control Word commands are in effect when Par. 10.01 or 10.02 (whichever
control location is active) is set to COMM.CW.
