VFD for Compressors: Selection Guide
How to select and size a VFD for screw, reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, covering overload rating, turndown limits and energy savings.
The ABB 68469325 FPBA-01 is a PROFIBUS DP fieldbus adapter from ABB's F-series plug-in family, giving the drive PROFIBUS DP connectivity to a higher-level PLC, one of the most common classic fieldbus protocols in industrial plants. It weighs 0.046 kg and measures 63 x 69 x 24 mm overall, EAN 6438177221777.
Fit the FPBA-01 for PROFIBUS DP networks - it remains the most common classic fieldbus option in this adapter family alongside the newer Ethernet-based protocols (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, Ethernet POWERLINK, BACnet/IP) and the other legacy buses (DeviceNet, CANopen, ControlNet). The existing plant network protocol, not the drive's power rating, is what determines which adapter in this family is correct.
