8.3 ABB Fieldbus plug interface
(option)
The PSTX Softstarter has an interface, com 2, on the
front for connecting the ABB Fieldbus Plug Adapter
(FBPA) used for Fieldbus communication.
You can use this interface to control the Softstarter, get
status information, and for the upload and download of
parameters.
The interface between the Softstarter and the FieldBus
Plug is independent of the Fieldbus protocol used.
Independent of Softstarter type or delivery date, you can
connect 1 of the available Fieldbus protocols, because
this is specified in the FieldBus Plug itself.
