With the growing importance of connecting inverter drives to machine and factory communication networks,  ABB F-series fieldbus adapter modules are flexible plug-in adapters that provide fast and simple universal connectivity to all major controllers.

Network connectivity of products provides simplified interface for control and management of drives; improving quality, productivity, flexibility and scalability. Fieldbus networks also offer a cost reduction in wiring costs, compared to traditional I/O connections.

F-Series adapters are available for ABB drives in the ranges ACS355, ACS850, ACQ810, ACSM1 and ACS880.  For ACS550, ACH550, ACS800 and DCS 800 drives a similar range of R-Series is available.

These adaptors offer integrators and machine builders ABB drives connectivity to virtually any automation architecture including the leading proprietary networks.  F-Series and R-Series adapters are simple to implement , and are designed and tested to conform to the protocol specifications.

Combining these adapter modules with ABB’s drives offers a powerful drive solution to OEM’s and system integrators focused on the food and beverage, material handling, printing, rubber and plastics, and textile industries.

The F Series adapters ensure more data is available at a lower cost with remote access and diagnostics to provide predictive failure warnings.  System software is reusable and the adapters reduce both mechanical and electrical installation time.  Open protocols allow connectivity to any major PLC
