Chapter 2 – Overview2-2NIBA-01 Installation and Start-up GuideData Channels The InterBus-S system provides two channels for data transfer, theprocess data channel (for fast cyclic transfer of time-critical I/O data)and thePCP channel (for acyclic transfer of non-time-critical, complexblocks of data, e.g. parameter data).The NIBA-01InterBus-S AdapterModuleThe NIBA-01 InterBus-S Adapter Module is an optional device thatenables connection of an ABB drive to an InterBus-S system. Themodule is considered a remote bus device by the host.Through the NIBA-01 InterBus-S Adapter Module it is possible to:• Give control commands to the drive(Start, Stop, Run enable, etc.)• Feed a motor speed or torque reference to the drive• Give a process actual value or a process reference to thePID controller of the drive• Read status information and actual values from the drive• Change drive parameter values• Reset a drive fault.The InterBus-S commands and services supported by the NIBA-01 arediscussed in Chapter 6. Please refer to the user documentation of thedrive as to which commands are supported by the drive.The adapter module is mounted onto a standard mounting rail inside oroutside the drive unit, depending on drive type and configuration. Seethe user’s manual of the drive for module placement options.X2OUTNIBA-01X1INRBST+24V0V /DI1 DI1 /DO1 DO1 SHFRXDTXDIB-SERRORRDU LRCBAINTERBUS-S ADAPTERTRDDCSDG2 /DO2 DO2 /DI2 DI2 SHDG1RB5VScrew terminal block for the bus cable OUTconnection (see Chapter 4)Fibre optic connectors for connectionto the drive:RXD = ReceiverTXD = TransmitterStatus LEDs(For descriptions see next page)Screw terminal block for the bus cable IN andpower supply connections (see Chapter 4)
