Description

DSTA002B 3BSE018317R1: Product Overview
This component is a communication interface module designed for integration with ABB drive systems, such as the ACS800 series. Its position in an automation system is to act as a gateway, bridging the drive’s internal control system with an external DeviceNet network. It is typically mounted inside the drive’s control compartment and connects to the drive’s main processor via a proprietary backplane or ribbon cable.
The core functionality involves protocol conversion and data exchange. The module receives control commands (e.g., start, stop, speed reference) from a DeviceNet master device, such as a PLC, and translates them into drive-specific instructions. Conversely, it collects drive status information (e.g., actual speed, fault codes, motor current) and formats it into DeviceNet data packets for transmission back to the master. This enables centralized monitoring and control of the drive from the master controller.
This module belongs to the ecosystem of communication options for ABB drives, a platform known for its flexibility and wide protocol support. The benefits of using a standardized network like DeviceNet include reduced wiring complexity, simplified integration with Allen-Bradley and other DeviceNet-compatible systems, and the ability to leverage existing plant-wide network architectures. This approach streamlines commissioning and maintenance while providing a robust and deterministic communication link.

Core Features & Customer Value​
The module’s primary feature is its seamless integration with the DeviceNet protocol, a standard in industrial automation, particularly in North American manufacturing. For the engineer, this means straightforward integration with Rockwell Automation PLCs and other DeviceNet devices, eliminating the need for protocol converters and reducing system complexity. The benefit is a faster and more cost-effective integration process.
Optical isolation is a critical feature that protects the drive’s sensitive electronics from electrical noise and ground potential differences on the DeviceNet network. This enhances the reliability of the communication link and prevents network-induced faults from propagating into the drive control system. For the end-user, this translates to higher system availability and fewer nuisance trips.
The ability to configure the module as a master or slave provides application flexibility. In a typical setup, it acts as a slave to a PLC, but in certain architectures, it can coordinate with other devices. The compact design ensures it fits within the drive’s existing footprint without requiring additional cabinet space. This space-saving aspect is valuable in retrofit projects where cabinet space is limited.

Typical Applications​
In an automotive assembly plant, this module is used to connect an ACS800 drive controlling a paint circulation pump to a Rockwell Automation ControlLogix PLC via DeviceNet. The PLC sends speed references based on the production schedule, while the drive reports its status for monitoring on the HMI.
For a material handling system in a distribution center, the module integrates a conveyor belt drive into a DeviceNet network managed by a PLC. The PLC coordinates the speed of multiple conveyors to ensure smooth package transfer, using the drive’s I/O for start/stop commands and feedback.
In a water treatment facility, the module connects a drive operating a booster pump to a SCADA system through a DeviceNet-to-Ethernet gateway. This allows operators to adjust pump speed to maintain pressure setpoints and receive alarms directly in the control room.
