AI Analog input; interface for analog input signals
AO Analog output; interface for analog output signals
BCU Type of control unit used in ACS880 drives, primarily those with parallel-
connected inverter or supply modules.
D2D Drive-to-drive; communication link between drives that is implemented by
application programming. See Drive application programming manual
(IEC 61131-3) (3AUA0000127808 [English])
DC link DC circuit between rectifier and inverter
DDCS Distributed drives communication system; a protocol used in communication
between ABB drive equipment
DI Digital input; interface for digital input signals
DIO Digital input/output; interface that can be used as a digital input or output
DO Digital output; interface for digital output signals
Drive Frequency converter for controlling AC motors. The drive consists of a rectifier
and an inverter connected together by the DC link. In drives up to
approximately 500 kW, these are integrated into a single module (drive
module). Larger drives typically consist of separate supply and inverter units.
The ACS880 primary control program is used to control the inverter part of the
drive.
DriveBus A communication link used by, for example, ABB controllers. ACS880 drives
can be connected to the DriveBus link of the controller. See page 75.
DTC Direct torque control. See page 79.
EFB Embedded fieldbus interface. See page 607.
