ABB Drive Accessories & Automation References

Drive options and separate automation products

Drive control panels, fieldbus adapters, feedback interfaces and I/O extensions provide different functions. Braking, filtering and installation components must be selected for the drive hardware and electrical duty. The same function name does not establish interchangeability between drive generations.

The existing table also includes AC500/S500 automation and control-panel or software references. ABB identifies AC500 as a PLC family, S500 as its modular I/O system and CP600 as a control-panel family. Their system, engineering and communication requirements must be checked separately from the drive option-slot requirements.

Confirm the host equipment first

• Provide the complete drive or controller type, product code, frame and nameplate details.
• Confirm control-unit hardware, firmware and available slots or connections against the option manual.
• For communication, specify the required protocol, network arrangement, controller and firmware requirements.
• For feedback or I/O, identify signal type, voltage, channels and the actual interface requirement.
• For panels and HMI, confirm connection, mounting, cables and engineering software or runtime version.
• For braking or filtering, provide supply, load duty, installation conditions and the required electrical or EMC performance. An accessory alone does not establish compliance of the whole installation.

Using the existing reference table

The model, option-code, Order Code and application references below are retained for identification. Some entries use numeric references alongside descriptive option codes; quote the full row and equipment information rather than relying on a numeric reference alone. An applicable-series entry is a starting point for checking the exact configuration, not a universal compatibility guarantee.

Product status and current availability should be confirmed before ordering. Historical references remain in the list; no discontinuation, replacement or stock status is inferred without current applicable ABB documentation.

Information for quotation

Send the complete accessory model or option reference, ABB Order Code, quantity and destination country. Include the host equipment model, control-unit/firmware information and required function. For existing installations, add nameplate photos, connection details and the current module reference.
