Overview

The ABB DDPI-01 is a specialized interface board that enables RS-485 panel bus branching, allowing a single control panel or PC tool to communicate with multiple ABB drives. It is commonly used with ABB ACS880 drive systems, where it serves as a bridge between the drive and external control interfaces.

Moreover, the DDPI-01 improves signal processing and supports stable communication in industrial environments. Its compact size and lightweight design make it easy to install in control cabinets or drive enclosures. In addition, the board is built to withstand typical industrial conditions, including wide temperature ranges and non-condensing humidity.

For instance, engineers use the DDPI-01 to expand system capabilities in multi-drive setups, ensuring synchronized control and diagnostics across all connected units.

Technical Data
