FPNO-21 PROFINET IO adapter module

The PROFINET IO interface module, FPNO-21 that is certified according to Conformance Class B (CC-B) supporting PROFIdrives and ABB drives profiles. This adapter module is compatible with ABB’s common architecture drives.

Key benefits

ABB drives offer connectivity to PROFINET systems extending the basic functionality and data transfer capabilities of drives.

Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)

The two ports of FPNO-21 works as an embedded switch that supports Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) without the requirement to use an external switch.

S2 functionality

The S2 functionality, implemented in FPNO-21, makes it possible for two PROFINET controllers, one primary and one backup, to connect to the ABB Drives.

OPC UA support

ABB Drives, equipped with FPNO-21, offer OPC UA in parallel to the field protocol as a secure and effective solution for condition monitoring, diagnostics, and asset management.

Easy to change the drive

Easy to change the drive without special tools to rename the PROFINET station as PROFINET station is named as a part of drive’s backup file.

Shared devices

PROFINET “drive control” and “PROFIsafe” can be used by separate PLCs through Shared Device support. Shared Device enables accessing one drive from two controllers via one FPNO-21. (i.e. one PLC to control the drive, other SafetyPLC for safety communication)

PROFIsafe support

Support PROFIsafe over PROFINET. To use PROFIsafe, FSO-12 or FSO-21 with ACS880 is required.

SNTP support

Support SNTP protocol for the time synchronization.

Drive Composer Pro

Drive Composer Pro software can be used with FPNO-21 to perform a start-up or maintenance for ABB common architecture drives.

Easy to configure

Easy to configure name via PLC programming environment as PROFINET station is named by index parameter (i.e. abbdrive-xx)
