Safety instructions
Overview
This chapter states the general safety instructions that must be
followed when installing and operating the RPBA-01 PROFIBUS
DP Adapter module.
The material in this chapter must be studied before attempting any
work on, or with, the unit.
In addition to the safety instructions given below, read the
complete safety instructions of the specific drive you are working
on.
General safety instructions
WARNING! All electrical installation and maintenance work on the
drive should be carried out by qualified electricians.
The drive and adjoining equipment must be properly earthed.
Do not attempt any work on a powered drive. After switching off
the mains, always allow the intermediate circuit capacitors 5
minutes to discharge before working on the frequency converter,
the motor or the motor cable. It is good practice to check (with a
voltage indicating instrument) that the drive is in fact discharged
before beginning work.
The motor cable terminals of the drive are at a dangerously high
voltage when mains power is applied, regardless of motor
operation.
There can be dangerous voltages inside the drive from external
control circuits even when the drive mains power is shut off.
Exercise appropriate care when working on the unit. Neglecting
these instructions can cause physical injury or death.

Terms used in this manual
Communication Module
Communication Module is a name for a device (e.g. a fieldbus
adapter) through which the drive is connected to an external
communication network (e.g. a fieldbus). The communication with
the module is activated with a drive parameter.
Data Sets and Data Words
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 the chapters DP-
V0 communication and DP-V1 communication)are types of data
words; the contents of some data words are user-definable.
RPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP Adapter module
The RPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP Adapter module is one of the
optional fieldbus adapter modules available for ABB drives. The
RPBA-01 is a device through which an ABB drive is connected to
a PROFIBUS network.
Parameter
A parameter is an operating instruction for the drive. Parameters
can be read and programmed with the drive control panel, or
through the RPBA-01 module.
Further information
Further information is available on the World Wide Web from
profibus website.

Overview
Overview
This chapter contains a short description of the PROFIBUS
standard and the RPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP Adapter module, a
delivery checklist and warranty information.
PROFIBUS standard
PROFIBUS is an open serial communication standard that
enables data exchange between all kinds of automation
components. There are three main variations of PROFIBUS:
PROFIBUS-FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification),
PROFIBUS-DP (Decentralised Periphery) and PROFIBUS-PA
(Process Automation). The RPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP Adapter
module supports the PROFIBUS DP protocol, including its DP-V1
extension.
The physical transmission medium of the bus is a twisted pair
cable (according to the RS-485 standard). The maximum length of
the bus cable is 100 to 1200 metres, depending on the selected
transmission rate (see Technical data chapter). Up to 31 nodes
can be connected to the same PROFIBUS network segment
without the use of repeaters. With repeaters, it is possible to
connect 127 nodes (including repeaters and master station) to the
network.
In PROFIBUS communication, the master station – usually a
programmable logic controller (PLC) – polls the nodes which
respond and take the actions requested by the master. It is also
possible to send a command to several nodes at the same
broadcast; in this case the nodes do not send a response
message to the master.
The PROFIBUS protocol family is specified in the IEC 61158
standard. The communication with a drive is defined in the
PROFIdrive Profile – The PROFIBUS Profile for Adjustable Speed

Drives. For further information on PROFIBUS, refer to the above-
mentioned standards.
The RPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP Adapter module
The RPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP Adapter module is an optional
device for ABB drives which enables the connection of the drive to
a PROFIBUS network. The drive is considered as a slave on the
PROFIBUS network. Through the RPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP
Adapter module, it is possible to:
• give control commands to the drive
(Start, Stop, Run enable, etc.)
• feed a motor speed or torque reference to the drive
• give a process actual value or a process reference to the PID
controller of the drive
• read status information and actual values from the drive
• change drive parameter values
• reset a drive fault.
The PROFIBUS commands and services supported by the
RPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP Adapter module are discussed in the
chapters DP-V0 communication and DP-V1 communication.
Please refer to the user documentation of the drive as to which
commands are supported by the drive.
The adapter module is mounted into an option slot on the motor
control board of the drive. See the Hardware Manual of the drive
for module placement options.
Configuration of the master station requires a type definition
(GSD) file. For DP-V0 communication, the file is available from
profibus website or an ABB representative (the filename is
ABB_0812.GSD). For DP-V1 communication, the type definition
(GSD) file is available from an ABB representative (the filename is
ABB10812.GSD).

Warranty and liability information
The manufacturer warrants the equipment supplied against
defects in design, materials and workmanship for a period of
twelve (12) months after installation or twenty-four (24) months
from date of manufacturing, whichever first occurs. The local ABB
office or distributor may grant a warranty period different to the
above and refer to local terms of liability as defined in the supply
contract.
The manufacturer is not responsible for
• any costs resulting from a failure if the installation,
commissioning, repair, alternation, or ambient conditions of the
drive do not fulfil the requirements specified in the
documentation delivered with the unit and other relevant
documentation
• units subjected to misuse, negligence or accident
• units comprised of materials provided or designs stipulated by
the purchaser.
In no event shall the manufacturer, its suppliers or subcontractors
be liable for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages,
losses or penalties.
If you have any questions concerning your ABB drive, please
contact the local distributor or ABB office. The technical data,
information and specifications are valid at the time of printing. The
manufacturer reserves the right to modifications without prior
notice.
