Communication Module
(COMM.MODULE)
Communication Module is a parameter name/parameter selection
name for a device (e.g. a fieldbus adapter) through which the drive is
connected to an external serial communication network (e.g. a
fieldbus). The communication with the communication module is
activated with a drive parameter.
Data Sets and
Data Words
Data sets are clusters of data sent through the DDCS link between the
fieldbus adapter module and the drive. Each data set consists of three
16-bit words, ie. data words. The Control Word (sometimes called the
Command Word) and the Status Word, References and Actual Values
(see Chapter 6) are types of data words; the contents of some data
words are user-definable.
Host
Refers to the InterBus-S master station, i.e. a PLC or a computer
controlling the bus through an InterBus-S interface.
NIBA-01 InterBus-S
Adapter Module
The NIBA-01 Adapter Module is one of the optional fieldbus adapter
modules available for ABB drives. The NIBA-01 is a device through
which an ABB drive is connected to an InterBus-S serial
communication bus system.
Parameter
A parameter is an operating instruction for the drive. Parameters can
be read and programmed with the drive control panel, or through the
NIBA-01 Module.
