Overview

The ABB RDCO-02C Communication Adapter is a versatile and robust communication module designed for integration with RMIO Motor Control and I/O boards, as well as BCU control units. This adapter enhances system connectivity in industrial automation, making it suitable for various applications. Available as both a factory-installed option and a retrofit kit, it caters to diverse installation requirements for new and existing ABB drive systems.

Functional Highlights

The RDCO-02C features four fiber optic DDCS channels: CH0, CH1, CH2, and CH3. Each channel is designated for specific functions: CH0 manages overriding systems like fieldbus adapters, CH1 connects I/O options and supply units, CH2 handles Master/Follower links, and CH3 is primarily for PC tool connections in ACS800 drives. This clear channel allocation simplifies configuration and supports streamlined communication.

Equipped with high-quality optical components such as Agilent Technologies’ Versatile Link, the RDCO-02C ensures reliable fiber optic transmission. It operates at communication speeds of 1, 2, or 4 Mbit/s and requires a voltage of +5 V DC with a current consumption of up to 200 mA. Furthermore, the module adheres to stringent electromagnetic immunity standards (IEC 1000-4-2), ensuring stable and interference-resistant data exchange in demanding environments.

Moreover, the RDCO-02C is constructed to withstand harsh conditions, with options for coated circuit boards for added durability. Its 20-pin pin header and four transmitter/receiver connector pairs ensure secure integration and long-term reliability for a wide range of ABB drive applications.
