Profibus Comm. with ABB AC800

I have an application with 3 converters DCS400 connected to AC800 and one touch panel SIEMENS TP270 via profibus DP.

The communications between the converters are ok but, with the touch panel I have problems.

There are solutions for this configuration (AC800 and SIEMENS TP270), via profibus DP?

Jordi,

the short answer is "no".

Siemens OP/TP have a number of available communication drivers, but none of them is for ABB. For Profibus DP communication, the OP/TP only has drivers for Siemens S7. All the other drivers are for serial comm.

I think that this AC800 is VFD (frequency converter). Is the VFD connected to some kind of PLC ? If possible, you could let the PLC handle the communication with the AC800, and then forward the data to the OP/TP.

Regards.

Can you please tell me where we can buy some of these Siemens TP270 touch pads - Siemens South Africa cannot help us.
