Product Description
It auto-detects telegram types, supports DP-V0/DP-V1 and PPO message types 1 to 6, and reaches up to 12 Mbit/s with automatic baud-rate detection. Power is drawn from the drive, so no external supply is needed. The ABB RPBA-01 is a PROFIBUS DP fieldbus adapter that plugs into the option slot of compatible ABB drives, letting the drive act as a DP slave on a PROFIBUS network.
Basic Product Information
- Supports DP-V0 and DP-V1 protocols, PPO message types 1 to 6
- PROFIdrive and ABB Drives communication profiles
- Node address set by DIP switches (0 to 125); powered from the drive option slot
- 9-pin D-sub (DB9) RS-485 connector with diagnostic LEDs; IP20
- PROFIBUS DP slave interface (IEC 61158) with automatic baud-rate detection up to 12 Mbit/s
Technical Specifications
Version & Model Difference
The RPBA-01 is ABB's standard PROFIBUS DP adapter for the ACS/ACH drive families (option slot). Newer drives may use the FMBA or other fieldbus modules; confirm the option-slot type and drive firmware before selecting. Address and PPO type must match the PLC master configuration.
Application Scenarios
- Integrating ABB drives into PROFIBUS DP control architectures (PLC/DCS)
- Cyclic control/status data exchange and acyclic parameter access
- Retrofitting legacy drive installations to fieldbus networks
- Process automation, material handling and HVAC systems
- No. It is powered directly from the drive's option slot, so no separate 24 V supply or external wiring for power is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which ABB drives work with the RPBA-01?
It fits ACS550, ACH550, ACS800 and ACS355 drives via the option slot. Always verify the specific drive's option-module documentation and firmware compatibility before installation.
Does the RPBA-01 need an external power supply?
No. It is powered directly from the drive's option slot, so no separate 24 V supply or external wiring for power is required.
How is the PROFIBUS node address set?
The station address (0 to 125) is configured with the onboard DIP switches. If the address is set via drive software parameters, set the physical switches to 0.
What protocols and message types are supported?
It supports PROFIBUS DP-V0 and DP-V1 with automatic telegram detection, PPO types 1 to 6, and both PROFIdrive and ABB Drives communication profiles at up to 12 Mbit/s.
