The Adaptador ABB Modbus TCP FMBT-21 is an optional Ethernet communication module designed for ABB drives, enabling seamless integration into industrial networks. This versatile adapter allows users to control drive operations (Start/Stop/Run commands), set motor speed/torque references, and exchange process data with the drive's PID controller. It supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet connections, featuring two RJ45 ports for flexible network topologies. Its compact design installs directly into the drive control unit's option slot, making it an ideal solution for modern industrial automation systems requiring reliable drive connectivity.

Engineered for robust performance. The ABB FMBT-21 Converter Communication Module  operates within a wide temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) and supports up to 32 network nodes. The module provides comprehensive drive access including parameter read/write functions, fault reset capabilities, and real-time status monitoring. With 24V DC power supply and dual RJ45 connectors, it ensures stable communication in demanding industrial environments. The module's compatibility with OPC UA clients and DriveComposer Pro tools enhances its diagnostic capabilities, offering engineers powerful monitoring options through standard Ethernet networks.

The FMBT-21 Ethernet Adapter for Fieldbus Communication demonstrates broad compatibility across ABB's drive portfolio, including solar inverters and wind turbine converters. In Ethernet tool networks, it enables centralized commissioning and monitoring of multiple drives using DriveComposer Pro software. For optimal performance in monitoring applications, ABB recommends configuring parameters 50.21 and 50.51 to "Slow" or "Monitoring" mode. The module's Modbus/TCP protocol implementation ensures interoperability with various industrial control systems while maintaining reliable data transfer rates.

When deploying the Two-port Modbus FMBT-21 ABB, users should reference ABB's comprehensive documentation, including the Ethernet Tool Network Application Guide (3AUA0000125635) and DriveComposer User Manual (3AUA0000094606). The module's ability to function in extended temperature environments (-40°C to +85°C storage) makes it suitable for diverse industrial applications. With its combination of advanced features and reliable performance, the ABB FMBT-21 Modbus TCP Adapter stands as a preferred solution for integrating ABB drives into modern industrial Ethernet networks.
