Control Unit (Bcu); I/O Extension And Fieldbus Modules - ABB ACS580MV Hardware Manual

Control unit (BCU)

The BCU is a control unit used for controlling drives, inverters and converters via fiber
optic links. The BCU contains integrated branching unit functionality for collecting and
storing real-time data from the converter modules to help fault tracing and analysis. The
data is stored in a SD card (data logger memory).

BCU control unit
The BCU has an integrated Ethernet port for PC tool communication and a removable
memory unit. When, for example, a converter is replaced, the parameter settings can be
retained by transferring the memory unit from the defective converter to the new one.

I/O extension and fieldbus modules


The BCU has three option slots for I/O extensions, encoders and fieldbus adapters. Two
are available for customer use, allowing the use of following fieldbus protocols: Profibus,
Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and/or analog and digital I/O extension
adapters.
The actual configuration of the I/O extensions and fieldbus adapters can be derived from
the option codes in the ordering code of the drive (for identification refer to the ACS580MV
catalog). Typical configuration includes one I/O extension adapter plus one fieldbus
module, OR, two I/O extension adapters.
