What this chapter contains
This chapter gives information on configuring the drive for
operation with the RECA-01 EtherCAT® Adapter module.
RECA-01 configuration
After the RECA-01 EtherCAT® Adapter module has been
mechanically and electrically installed according to the instructions
in chapters
Mechanical installation and Electrical installation , the
drive must be prepared for communication with the module.
ABB drives can receive control information from multiple sources
including digital inputs, analogue inputs, the drive control panel
and a communication module (e.g. RETA-01). ABB drives allow
the user to separately determine the source for each type of
control information (Start, Stop, Direction, Reference, Fault Reset,
etc.). In order to give the fieldbus master station the most
complete control over the drive, the communication module must
be selected as source for this information.The detailed procedure
of activating the drive for communication with the module is
dependent on the drive type. Normally, a parameter must be
adjusted to activate the communication. Please refer to the drive
documentation.
As communication between the drive and the RECA-01 is
established, several configuration parameters are copied to the
drive. These parameters must be checked first and adjusted if
necessary (see table
The RECA-01 configuration parameters on
page 30 ). The alternative selections for these parameters are
discussed in more detail below.
Note: The new settings take effect only when the module is
powered up the next time or when the module receives a ‘Fieldbus
Adapter parameter refresh’ (Drive parameter 51.27) command
from the drive.
