The ABB RDCO-02C DRIVE CONTROL UNIT is a robust DDCS communication option designed for integration with RMIO Motor Control and I/O boards as well as BCU control units. Widely utilized in industrial automation, the DDCS Communication option modules Rdco-02C enhances system connectivity by providing a flexible interface for various applications. It is available both as a factory-installed option and as a retrofit kit, offering adaptability to meet diverse installation requirements across existing and new ABB drive systems.

Designed with precision, the RDCO-02C Abb Ddcs Communication Board  features connectors for four fiber optic DDCS channels: CH0, CH1, CH2, and CH3. Typically, these channels are allocated to critical functions — CH0 for overriding systems like fieldbus adapters, CH1 for I/O options and supply units, CH2 for Master/Follower links, and CH3 primarily for PC tool connections in ACS800 drives. This clear assignment supports streamlined communication architecture and simplifies system configuration.

The ABB Drive Control Unit RDCO-02C is equipped with high-quality optical components, such as Agilent Technologies’ Versatile Link, to ensure reliable fiber optic transmission. It supports communication speeds of 1, 2, or 4 Mbit/s, and operates at +5 V DC with a current consumption of up to 200 mA. The module also meets stringent electromagnetic immunity standards (IEC 1000-4-2), making it well-suited for demanding industrial environments that require stable and interference-resistant data exchange.

Additionally, each Communication Adapter ABB RDCO-02C module offers a durable construction with options for coated circuit boards to withstand harsh conditions. Its 20-pin pin header and four transmitter/receiver connector pairs guarantee secure and efficient integration, ensuring long-term performance and reliability for a wide range of ABB drive applications.
