ABB RDCO-03C DDCS Communications Module
The ABB RDCO-03C is a 4-channel DDCS fiber optic communication module for ACS800 drives. It provides 1 Mbps data speeds and 1500V isolation for RMIO and BCU control boards.
The ABB RDCO-03C facilitates high-speed fiber optic data exchange for industrial drive systems. This module connects directly to RMIO motor control boards or BCU units. It acts as an essential interface for Distributed Drives Communication System (DDCS) networks. Because the module supports optical isolation, it prevents electrical interference across long distances. Industrial facilities use this component to link drives, I/O extensions, and overriding controllers.
Communication Channel Configuration
- Channel 0 (CH0):Â Connects to overriding control systems or fieldbus adapters.
- Channel 1 (CH1):Â Interfaces with external I/O expansion modules and supply units.
- Channel 2 (CH2):Â Establishes Master/Follower links for synchronized motor control.
- Channel 3 (CH3):Â Provides a dedicated link for PC-based diagnostic tools.
