The F-series FEIP-21 is a 2-port EtherNet/IP adapter module supporting for ODVA AC/DC drives profiles and ABB drives profiles. This module contains the embedded switch for Device Level Ring (DLR) therefore saving your time and cost to buy and install an extra switch. This adapter module is compatible with ABB’s common architecture drives.
The two ports of FEIP-21 giving the possibility to use ring topology or just an intergraded Ethernet switch. This interface module can be implemented on a Device Level Ring (DLR) that is a redundant EtherNet/IP communication that use a ring topology, without the requirement to use a DLR external switch.
Drive Composer Pro software can be used with FEIP-21 to perform a start-up or maintenance for ABB common architecture drives.
