Functions

The REF542plus multifunctional protection and switchboard control unit integrates all auxiliary functions in one unit.

The multifunctional unit also has a self-monitoring function. All functions are designed as freely configurable software modules.

As a result, the various operational requirements of a MV station can be met without any problems.

The versatility of the software allows the REF542plus to be used on every switchboard regardless of the specific application requirements.

Configuration

Each protection and control application can be easily configured via the software function module, which allows the following functions to be arbitrarily defined as part of the secondary system:

LEDs for local indication (meaning and colour)

Single line diagrams showing the status of switching devices

Protection programme

Control programmes

Interlocking programmes

Automation sequences

All functions of the switchboard can be specified in co-operation with ABB. The configuration results are saved and delivered to the user together with the switchboard.

By using the “Function Block” programming language (FUPLA), the REF542plus multifunctional protection and switchboard control unit provides engineers, in

especially non-software specialists, the opportunity to easily update switchboard operation and handling.

With the REF542plus, users can fully integrate secondary systems into a true programmable controller.

This flexibility is very favourable for defining control functions for automation sequences.

This can include, for example, interlocking of switchgear, preventing the release of specific protective functions and initiating switching sequences.

The REF542plus multifunction unit offers a wide range of logic functions so that the various required control schemes can be configured.

The required control schemes are configured.

PROFIBUS networks PROFIBUS is an open serial communication standard that allows the exchange of data between all automation components.

There are three main types of PROFIBUS:

– PROFIBUS FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification)

– PROFIBUS DP (decentralized periphery)

– PROFIBUS PA (Process Automation)

The physical transmission medium of the bus is a twisted pair cable (RS-485 compliant).

The maximum length of the bus cable is 100 to 1200 meters, depending on the transmission rate.

Without repeaters, up to 32 nodes can be connected to the same PROFIBUS segment.

If repeaters are used, 126 nodes (including repeaters and a host station) can be connected to the network.

In PROFIBUS communication, the host station – usually a programmable logic controller (PLC) – selects the nodes that respond to the host’s commands.

The host can also send commands to multiple nodes in the form of broadcasts; in this case, the nodes do not need to send feedback signals to the host.

The PROFIBUS protocol is described in detail in the IEC 61158 standard.

The communication with the drives is defined in the PROFIdrive PROFILE – The PROFIBUS Profile for Adjustable Speed Drives.

FPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP Adapter Module

The FPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP adapter module is an optional device for ABB drives.

The module connects the drive to a PROFIBUS network. In a PROFIBUS network, the drives act as slaves.

The adapter module makes it possible to

– Send control commands to the drive (e.g. start, stop, run allow)

– Provide the drive with a motor speed or torque determination

– Provide the drive’s PID controller with the actual process value or the process decision.

– Read status information and actual values from the drive

– Changing drive parameter values

– Reset drive faults.

Product Overview

The FDPI-02 Diagnostic and Panel Interface is used to branch the RS-485 panel bus and chain a control panel or PC tool to multiple drives.

This interface device provides a straight-through connection between the control unit and the F-type option module.

It is compatible with the ZCU-xx and BCU-xx control units. The interface unit is installed in the option slot of the control unit.

A small F-type option module can then be mounted on top of the Interface Unit.

The Interface Unit has one RJ-11 and two RJ-45 connectors.The RJ-11 connector is used to connect to the Control Unit.

The RJ-45 connector supports a daisy-chained bus for connection to a PC or control panel (simultaneous control panel and PC communication is not allowed).

Bus termination is required to prevent signal reflection at the end of the bus cable. The interface unit has a panel/PC cable bus termination switch.

The termination switch must be in the terminated position if the device is the first or last device on the bus.

If the control panel is connected to one end of the bus, it will terminate the bus, only the other end must be terminated via termination switch S1.
