FBA module
As a standard, the basic device comes supplied with a so-called "FBA module" (Fieldbus Activation module). It 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, baud rate, etc. This means, for example, that a servo positioning controller that is supplied in its original
state (i.e. without a parameterisation or fieldbus data settings) can be installed and used in a system.
In addition, the FBA module is required for enabling the driver power supply for the power output stage.
