Universal Connectivity – Simplifying ABB drive commissioning and connectivity to EtherNet/IP™ and ControlNet™ networks

AOI 1.0 for New VFD Applications

This Add-on Instruction is designed to be used in new VFD

applications. The User Defined Data Type (UDT) defines the

tag descriptions, such as control word, status word,

references and actual speed & torque. UDTs provide users

with an interface that enables them to add specific tag

descriptions into the dynamic datasets supported by ABB

low voltage AC and DC drives. It will map the EtherNet/IP or

ControlNet module to the User Defined Data Type providing

a seamless and simplified connection to the network.

Supported Profile Types

• ABB Drives

• ODVA

• Transparent (16-bit and 32-bit)

Benefits

• Reduce development time and simplify diagnostics with

pre-defined tag descriptions and data types

• Minimize commissioning cost

• Create consistent PLC code regardless of programmer

• Easily rename tag description to an installation-specific name

• Leverage modular programming to easily copy and paste

Add-On Instruction for additional drives

• Save time and money by re-using the same User Defined

Data Type for duplicate drives

• Enjoy the flexibility and versatility of ABB drives connected

to EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networks
