Chapter 3 - Handling of Control Panel CDP 31x
DCS 500B / DCP 500B Operating Instructions IV A 3 - 1
3.1 Overview
The Control and Display Panel [Control Panel] is used for parame-
ter setting, for feedback value measuring and for drive control with
series DCS 500B / DCF 500B and DCP 500B thyristor power con-
verters. This device is available in different versions depending on
the type of unit and software to be used:
Units with software S 21.1xx
⇒ CDP 310 or CDP 311
(recommended: CDP 311)
Units with software S 21.2xx
⇒ CDP 312
Hereinafter CDP 31x will be used as a common type designation for
the above mentioned versions of Control Panel. Differences be-
tween the versions which have to be taken into account with par-
ticular functions will be indicated separately!
Panel Link
The CDP 310/311 Control Panel is connected to the drive via
CDI-300 communication bus.This communication bus, which is
based on the RS485 standard, is a common bus protocol for ABB
Drives products.
MODBUS is used as communication bus connecting the CDP 312
Control Panel to the drive. This Control Panel combined with a
Software version S 21.2xx onwards makes it possible to show the
texts on the LCD in different languages.
The selection of language is performed by parameter
[P 522].
Note: The display texts as shown in this chapter correspond
to the default setting of
[P 522] ( ⇒ English)!
Mounting the
Panel
The CDP 31x Control Panel can be handled in three different ways:
• Direct mounting on the thyristor power converter; the CDP 31x is
plugged into the moulded part of the cover of the converter and
connected via an adaptor of approx. 45 mm.
• Mounting on the door of the switchgear cabinet using an assem-
bly kit equipped with a connection cable.
• Use of Panel as remote control device with a connection cable.
