ABB FCAN-01 CANopen Adapter Module for Drives

FCAN-01 CANopen Adapter Module for ABB Drives

FCAN-01 adds a CANopen link to ABB drives. It plugs into the drive option slot. The board is conformal coated for tough plant conditions. The bus interface stays isolated from the drive. This keeps communication clean and safe.

Expert Review

The FCAN-01 brings CANopen into ABB drive systems with little setup work. Conformal coating and bus isolation add real value in dusty or noisy plants. Three LEDs make faults easy to spot. Users must add external termination, so plan the trunk cable ends early.

FAQ

Q: Does the module include bus termination?

A: No. Add 120 ohm termination at each end of the trunk cable.

Q: How do I know if the module works?

A: Watch the three LEDs. HOST, MODULE, and NETWORK show link state.

Q: What cable should I buy?

A: Use shielded twisted pair with 120 ohm impedance. Pick a CANopen-approved cable.

Q: Will a long cable reduce speed?

A: Yes. Longer lines need lower bit rates. Check the bus length table first.

Q: How do I pick the right adapter for my drive?

A: Check the drive manual for option slot support. Then confirm you need CANopen, not another fieldbus.
