ABB 3HAC2493-1 Control Cable Signal

The ABB CDPI-01 (Product Code: 3AXD50000004419) is a Panel Bus Adapter Module designed to provide seamless communication between ABB drives and fieldbus-based control systems. Specifically engineered for the ABB ACS drive series, the CDPI-01 adapter enables direct integration with DeviceNet™ networks, which are commonly used for industrial automation applications requiring centralized monitoring and control.

This plug-in communication module allows ABB variable frequency drives (VFDs) to connect as DeviceNet slaves, facilitating efficient data exchange for speed control, diagnostics, I/O commands, and parameter configurations. With its compact DIN-rail design, robust shielding, and real-time communication support, the CDPI-01 offers reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Used widely in automotive, food & beverage, materials handling, and manufacturing plants, the CDPI-01 ensures precise drive-level integration without the need for complex wiring or additional converters.
