FBA module
As a standard, the basic device comes supplied with a so-called “FBA module” (Fieldbus Activation Module) that has a DIP
switch (8 poles) on its front panel. Under certain conditions, substantial parts of the parameters of the fieldbus communication
can be configured with the aid of this DIP switch. Depending on the fieldbus that is used, it is possible, for example, to adjust
the fieldbus node number or the baud rate, and so on This means that a servo positioning controller that is supplied in its
original state (that is without a parameterisation or fieldbus data settings) can be installed and commissioned in a system.
In addition, the FBA module is required for enabling the driver power supply for the power stage.
