FEIP-21 ABB EtherNet/IP Adapter | VariMax FEIP-21 Module

FEIP-21 Ethernet/IP Adapter Module Overview

The ABB FEIP-21 is a plug-in EtherNet/IP adapter module for VariMax drives. It links the drive to an EtherNet/IP network. Moreover, the module sends control commands such as Start, Stop, and Run enable. It also feeds speed or torque references to the drive. In addition, it passes process values to the drive PID controller. Furthermore, the module reads status and actual values, resets drive faults, and reads or writes drive parameters. Finally, it connects the Drive composer pro tool. Data rates are 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s, with automatic detection.
