RECA-01 ABB EtherCAT Adapter Module, Single Port, 3ABD0000045102

RECA-01 ABB EtherCAT Adapter Module, Single Port

The RECA-01 (product ID 3ABD0000045102) is a single-port EtherCAT adapter for ABB drives. It mounts in an option slot on the drive control board. The module links the drive to an EtherCAT network at 100 Mbit/s full duplex. Configuration runs through drive parameters, so no separate tool is needed. The board is IP20 rated and weighs 0.5 kg. Dimensions are 22.5 × 5.2 × 15.5 cm (W × H × D).

FAQ

Q: My EtherCAT master sees the drive but cyclic data fails. What should I check first?

A: Start with the ESI file version. A mismatch between the ESI and the module firmware blocks cyclic exchange. Then confirm the PDO mapping in the drive parameters matches the master.

Q: Can I use both RJ-45 ports at the same time?

A: Yes. The two ports support daisy-chain wiring, so you can pass the bus to the next node. Keep segments under 100 m and use shielded cable in noisy cabinets.

Q: The module draws 290 mA at 5 V. Is that a concern on older drives?

A: Usually no. The drive control board supplies it. Check the drive manual if you stack several option modules, because the 5 V budget is shared.

Q: Does this adapter need a separate configuration tool?

A: No. All settings run through drive parameters. You still need the master-side ESI file, but the module itself has no standalone software.

Q: How do I choose between RECA-01 and another ABB EtherCAT option?

A: Match the port count to your topology. Single-port suits a simple chain end. For ring redundancy or more nodes, check other ABB EtherCAT adapters. Then confirm your drive has a free option slot.
