Description

Engineered for high-speed fiber optic communication, the ABB RDCO-02C DDCS communication adapter provides seamless interfacing between ACS800 frequency converters and external control systems. This module mounts directly onto the drive's control board to establish isolated optical links, ensuring noise-free data transmission in environments with high electromagnetic interference.

The RDCO-02C DDCS (Distributed Drives Communication System) board operates as an essential link for master-follower configurations, PC tool connections, and fieldbus adapter modules. By utilizing optical fiber cables, it eliminates ground loop issues and delivers high-speed, deterministic control performance across industrial drive networks.

Features

  • Direct plug-in mounting on ACS800 series drive control units (RMIO board).
  • Integrated fiber optic transmitter and receiver channels for reliable data exchange.
  • Provides galvanic isolation via optical link technology to prevent electrical interference.
  • Supports DDCS protocol communication with PLCs, drive controllers, and diagnostic software tools.
  • Lightweight and compact form factor designed for reliable long-term cabinet operation.

Applications

  • ACS800 industrial drive system communications.
  • Master-follower and drive-to-drive link configurations.
  • Interfacing drives with AC 800M and other ABB PLC control architectures.
  • High-speed process automation network installations in metals, pulp & paper, and marine industries.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the ABB RDCO-02C board?
The ABB RDCO-02C is a DDCS (Distributed Drives Communication System) communication adapter that provides optical fiber link channels for interfacing ACS800 drives with PLCs, master-follower networks, and PC configuration tools.

Does the RDCO-02C module require external power?
No, the RDCO-02C module is powered directly from the drive's control board (such as the RMIO board) upon mounting.

What precautions should be taken when routing fiber optic cables with this module?
Ensure the optical fibers are handled carefully, avoiding tight bends that exceed the manufacturer's specified minimum bend radius, and keep the optical connectors clean from dust and contaminants.
