NPBA-12 Installation and Start-up Guide 5-1
Chapter 5 – Programming
Overview
This chapter gives information on configuring the PROFIBUS master
station and the drive for communication through the NPBA-12
PROFIBUS Adapter Module.
Configuring the
System
After the NPBA-12 PROFIBUS Adapter Module has been mechanically
and electrically installed according to the instructions in Chapters 3
and 4, the master station and the drive must be prepared for
communication with the module.
The type definition (GSD) file required for configuration of the master
station is available from www.profibus.com or your local ABB
representative. The filename is ABB_6012.GSD.
Please refer to the master station documentation for more information.
PROFIBUS Connection
Configuration
The detailed procedure of activating the module for communication
with the drive is dependent on drive type. (Normally, a parameter must
be adjusted to activate the communication. See the drive
documentation.)
As communication between the drive and the NPBA-12 is established,
several configuration parameters are copied to the drive. These
parameters – shown below in Table 5-1 – must be checked first and
adjusted if necessary. The alternative selections for these parameters
are discussed in more detail below the table.
Note: The new settings take effect only when the module is powered
up or the RESET button pressed for the next time.
Note: In case the fibre optic cables are transferred from one drive to
another without powering down the module, press the RESET button to
refresh the configuration parameters in the module.
Note: The grouping, numbering, and adjustment procedure of
parameters vary from drive to drive. See the drive documentation for
information.
Data Transfer Rates
Supported
The NPBA-12 supports the following PROFIBUS communication
speeds: 9.6 kbit/s, 19.2 kbit/s, 45.45 kbit/s, 93.75 kbit/s, 187.5 kbit/s,
500 kbit/s, 1.5 Mbit/s, 3 Mbit/s, 6 Mbit/s, 12 Mbit/s.
The NPBA-12 automatically detects the communication speed used.
