Cyber Security Legal Disclaimer
This product is designed to be connected to and to communicate information and data via a network interface. It
is your sole responsibility to provide and continuously ensure a secure connection between the product and your
network or any other network (as the case may be). You shall establish and maintain any appropriate measures
(such as but not limited to the installation of firewalls, application of authentication measures, encryption of data,
installation of anti-virus programs, etc.) to protect the product, the network, its system and the interface against
any kind of security breaches, unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, leakage and/or theft of data or
information. ABB Ltd and its affiliates are not liable for damages and/or losses related to such security breaches,
any unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, leakage and/or theft of data or information.
Risk Mitigation and Secure Deployment
The idea is to create defence-in-depth protection for each network by allocating firewall solutions to the front of
internal trusted networks of each network by manage firewalls, their configurations and access rules. The
softstarter must be positioned in a trusted network, strictly limited and in a hosted portion of a network or control
system. Configure firewalls according to the principle of denying everything that is not needed nor used. For
secure remote access, use a VPN connection with an encryption layer to create a secure channel over an insecure
network. For more information regarding cyber security and risk mitigation, download the document Cyber
security for ABB drives from the ABB library.
Note: The device uses the default Modbus TCP port 502 (0x01F6). This port must be open in the firewall for
both incoming and outgoing traffic to allow Modbus-TCP compatible devices to communicate.

1 Overview
This document aims to describe the installation and configuration process of the MTQ22-FBP Modbus TCP
adapter module. Modbus is a master-slave protocol and only one device can transmit on the line at any time. The
master (which in most cases is a PLC) manages the exchanges and only it can take the initiative. It interrogates
each of the slaves in succession and no slave can send a message unless it is invited to do so. The master repeats
the question when there is an incorrect exchange, and declares the interrogated slave absent if no response is
received within a given time period. If a slave does not understand a message, it sends an exception response to
the master who may or may not repeat the request.
The adapter will be used to enable Modbus TCP communication between an ABB PSE softstarter and a Modbus
master over an IP network. The TCP Modbus communication protocol differs from the other Modbus versions
through the use of TCP/IP communication as a wrapper for the Modbus data. Modbus RTU messages are sent
over an IP network. The use of IP datagrams removes the need for slave addresses since all slaves use a unique
IP address to enable IP communication. However, The MTQ22-FBP still uses Modbus RTU to communicate
with the PSE which require the slave ID to match between the MTQ22-FBP and the PSE, as explained in section
3.2.
The document starts with technical information regarding the required devices and a description of how to
connect them to enable Modbus TCP communication. The third chapter explains how to configure the PSE and
MTQ22-FBP software, Fieldbus Control, Slave address, IP address and other important parameters are
configured with detailed instructions. The fourth chapter presents the MTQ22-FBP data registers, used to read or
write data to the connected PSE devices. In case of any TCP Modbus connection problems, chapter 5 explains
the meaning of the MTQ22-FBP diagnostic LED indicators. This manual is written specifically for Modbus TCP
and will not cover other fieldbus protocols or other devices then ABB Softstarters type PSE18…PSE370. For
more detailed information regarding warranty, service, type designation and other product specific information
for the associated devices, see respective manual.

2 Technical Description
The following list highlights the core features and functionalities provided by the MTQ22-FBP and Modbus TCP
protocol.
Highlighted Features
The MTQ22-FBP Ethernet adapter module provides Ethernet connectivity for the ABB PSE softstarter
Fieldbus plug (FBP) device.
Up to four FBP devices can be connected to one MTQ22-FBP. This allows a very cost-efficient
connection of FBP devices to Ethernet.
Through the MTQ22-FBP Ethernet Adapter module it is possible to:
oGive control commands to the device (Start, Stop, Set Auto Mode, etc.)
oRead status information and actual values from the device
oRead maintenance counters
oReset a trip
A built in two-port switch allows the flexible usage in bus, star or ring network topologies.
Up to four masters can concurrently access the connected devices.
Access via Modbus TCP can be restricted to a limited set of IP addresses.
The Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) is implemented (client). MRP is standardized in IEC/EN
62439-2 and offers cable redundancy in case of a single failure.
2.1 Modbus TCP
Modbus TCP is a variant of the Modbus family of simple, vendor neutral communication protocols intended for
supervision and control of automation equipment. Specifically, it covers the use of Modbus messaging over TCP
connections on an IP network.
The implementation of the Modbus TCP server in the MTQ22-FBP module is done according to:
Modbus Application Protocol Specification v1.1b
Modbus Messaging on TCP/IP Implementation Guide v1.0b
The supported Modbus commands can be found in chapter 4. Further information on the Modbus TCP protocol
is available at www.modbus.org.

2.2 MTQ22-FBP
A device layout of the MTQ22-FBP can be seen in Figure 1. Connectors X1 ... X4 are used to connect up to four
FBP devices to the MTQ22-FBP. On the left side of the port connectors LEDs show the current communication
status. See chapter 5 for detailed information regarding status LEDs.
Figure 1: Top view of the MTQ22-FBP. Four PSE devices can be connected to the MTQ22 via the ports X1 to X4. The
standard Micro USB connector X5 allows to configure the device.
The Micro USB connector X5 allows device configuration using a PC, see chapter MTQ22-FBP. Two RJ45
sockets E1 and E2 offer Ethernet connectivity. The communication status of each interface is shown by two
LEDs. The MTQ22-FBP must be supplied with 24VDC via X6.
Mounting and Dismounting
You can mount and dismount the MTQ22-FBP onto a 35 mm standard mounting rail, without tools.
Arrange the communication cables as far away from the motor cables as possible. Avoid parallel runs. Use
bushings at cable entries. The network cable is connected to the RJ45 connectors on the MTQ22-FBP module.
Standard CAT5 UTP, FTP or STP cables can be used. The shield of the RJ45 cable is connected to the shield of
connector X6.

2.3 Connection Setup
In order for Modbus to function properly the PSE must be connected point-to-point with a Fieldbus Plug
Accessory (PS-FBPA) as seen in Figure 2. Further the PS-FBPA must be connected to one of the ports named
X1 to X4 on the MTQ22-FBP. The Modbus master is in turn connected to one of the Ethernet connections E1 or
E2.
Figure 2: Device connections required to enable a Modbus TCP connection between the PSE and a Modbus master.
The cable connecting the PS-FBPA and the MTQ22-FBP, a CDP19-FBP .100 cable must be purchased
separately. A spring terminal block connector must also be installed on the separate cable and connected
according to Figure 3.

3 Software Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the MTQ22-FBP and the PSE to enable Modbus communication.
3.1 PSE Softstarter
The following list of instructions explains how to configure the fieldbus parameters on the PSE softstarter.
1. Fieldbus Control
This parameter is used for configuration of the fieldbus communication. Connecting the PSE Softstarter to the
Fieldbus plug automatically enables fieldbus communication. To enable control of the softstarter using fieldbus,
this parameter must be set to On. If Fieldbus Control is set to OFF, fieldbus can only be used for monitoring
softstarter data.
If this parameter is set to On, the softstarter might trip on fieldbus
fault if no fieldbus communication is available. If the intention is
to run without fieldbus control, this parameter should be set to
OFF.
2. Fieldbus Address
The parameter Fieldbus Address allows setting of address for the fieldbus communication. The setting range for
the fieldbus address is 0...255. If the address is set to 255, the address stored in internal memory of the fieldbus
plug will be used.
It is possible to read and set this parameter via the keypad when Fieldbus Control is set to On or OFF.
Changing this parameter will automatically reset the fieldbus
interface and the new address will be active. If MTQ22-FBP was
communicating with the old address, the MTQ22-FBP needs to be
re-configured and the PSE restarted.

3. Fieldbus Type
The fieldbus type parameter must be set to FbP (fieldbus plug) when using the MTQ22-FBP. FbP is the default
value of the parameter. The PSE has a built-in version of Modbus which is activated by setting the parameter to
Int (Internal).
When FbP is selected –configured to use external fieldbus plug,
such as the MTQ22-FBP.
When Init is selected –PSE will use the internal Modbus
implementation to communicate with external devices.
Default value

Description
FbP
FbP/Int
FbP enables the use of external
fieldbus plugs. The Int parameter
should be set when using the
internal Modbus interface
4. Download Parameter
This parameter allows for blocking parameter download from the fieldbus. Note that download of parameters
works differently for different fieldbus protocols. See documentation for the protocol used.
It is possible to read and set this parameter via the keypad when
Fieldbus Control is set to On or OFF.

5. Fieldbus Operation When Fault
This parameter is accessible only if Fieldbus Control is previously set to On.
In case of fieldbus malfunction, for instance due to power loss or a broken cable, this parameter allows for
different (operations in case of a fault) reactions to the fault.
Setting Fieldbus fault reaction to trIP will make the softstarter trip on a fieldbus fault. Selecting trIP makes reset
of the fault necessary, in case of a tripping event.
When LocC is selected, the control of the softstarter will
automatically switch from fieldbus control to local control. The
switch to local control will make hard-wire control possible. When
the Fieldbus starts working again the control is automatically
switched back to the Fieldbus. There is a 10 second delay before it
is possible to controlling the motor.
Default value
Setting range
Description

6. Type of Operation for Reset of Fieldbus Fault
Select what operation shall be asserted if a fieldbus communication fault occurs. Manual or automatic options
are available. HAnd is the default value for reset of Fieldbus Fault:
• If HAnd is selected - The motor will stop and manual
reset is required.
• If Auto is selected - The motor will stop and automatic
reset is performed.
This parameter is accessible only if trIP is previously
selected for the parameter fieldbus Operation When
