Overview This chapter states the safety instructions that must be followed when
installing and operating the NDBU-85/95 DDCS Branching Unit. The
material in this chapter must be studied before attempting any work on,
or with, the unit.
Warnings and Notes This manual distinguishes two sorts of safety instructions. Warnings
are used to inform of conditions which can, if proper steps are not
taken, lead to a serious fault condition, physical injury and death. Notes
are used when the reader is required to pay special attention or when
there is additional information available on the subject. Notes are less
crucial than Warnings, but should not be disregarded.
Warnings Readers are informed of situations that can result in serious physical
injury and/or serious damage to equipment with the following symbols:
Notes Readers are notified of the need for special attention or additional
information available on the subject with the following symbols:
General Safety WARNING! All electrical installation and maintenance work on the
Instructions drive should be carried out by qualified electricians.
The drive and adjoining equipment must be properly earthed.
Do not attempt any work on a powered drive. After switching off the
mains, always allow the intermediate circuit capacitors 5 minutes to
discharge before working on the frequency converter, the motor or the
motor cable. It is good practice to check (with a voltage indicating
instrument) that the drive is in fact discharged before beginning work.
The motor cable terminals of the drive are at a dangerously high
voltage when mains power is applied, regardless of motor operation.
There can be dangerous voltages inside the drive from external control
circuits even when the drive mains power is shut off. Exercise
appropriate care when working with the unit. Neglecting these
instructions can cause physical injury and death.

Overview The NDBU-85 and NDBU-95 branching units are used for distributing a
DDCS-protocol control link to several drives. The controlling unit can be
e.g. a PC equipped with DriveWindow and a DDCS interface; an
Advant application controller (such as an AC 80); or a Fieldbus
Communication Interface (FCI, type CI810) equipped with a TB810/
TB811 Optical ModuleBus Port.
Note: NDBU branching units cannot be used on DDCS links for which
the data rate is selected through software.
Using NDBU branching units, the usual ring topology of a DDCS link
can be replaced with a star topology, which is useful to ensure
uninterrupted communication in case one unit on the ring fails or must
be shut down for maintenance.
The NDBU-85 is able to handle conventional DDCS-protocol input
only; the NDBU-95 supports DDCS and DriveBus. The NDBU-95 has
an additional jumper-selectable regeneration mode in which any
message received from one follower unit is forwarded to all follower
units.
Both the NDBU-85 and the NDBU-95 have one input channel (MSTR)
and nine output channels (CH0 to CH8). When chaining branching
units, it is recommended to use CH0 as the forwarding output to the
slave unit.
Optical Component ABB drive products in general utilise 5 and 10 MBd (megabaud) optical
Types components from Agilent Technologies (Hewlett-Packard) Versatile
Link range. Please note that the optical component type is not directly
related to the actual communication speed. On the NDBU-85, the
MSTR and CH0 channels have 10 MBd components, CH1 to CH8 have
5 MBd components. All channels on the NDBU-95 have 10 MBd
components.
Plastic optical fibre (POF) cables can be used with both 5 MBd and
10 MBd optical components. 10 MBd components also enable the use
of Hard Clad Silica (HCS) cables, which allow longer connection
distances thanks to their lower attenuation. HCS cables cannot be
used with 5 MBd optical components.
The optical component types used in ABB drive equipment are
presented on page 12.
Cable Length and Because of the narrow optical dynamic operating area of 5 MBd
Optical Power Setting components, the optical power (light intensity) of the transmitters must
be set in accordance to the cable attenuation, which in turn depends on
cable type and length. Incorrect optical power can either underdrive or
overdrive the receiver, resulting in a disturbed signal. It should also be
noted that if the optical power is set too low or high, an initially working
link may cause problems later, e.g. when the ambient temperature
changes and the optical components age.
The wider dynamic range of 10 MBd components allows the use of
maximum optical power regardless of cable length. However, this is not
recommended since high transmitter current shortens its lifetime, and
the additional heat generation in the driver components may lead to
reduced reliability.
Setting the Optical Power Each optical channel on the NDBU-85 and NDBU-95 has an individual
jumper for the transmitter power setting. The jumpers should be set
depending on the cable type and length as explained under Settings
and Connections below.
For most fibre optic equipment used with ABB drives, the optical power
can be set through software. Refer to the relevant documentation for
information.
Settings and The NDBU units are configured using the jumpers and DIP switches on
Connections the circuit board, which can be accessed by removing the cover of the
metal housing. This is done by loosening the two screws on top, then
sliding the cover sideways until released.

When using NDBU branching units with the DriveWindow PC tool,
each unit must have an individual address in the range of 76 to 124.
Notes:
In DriveWindow configurations, NDBU units closer to the PC must
have higher addresses than those on lower levels.
Each NDBU branching unit reserves two successive addresses.
Do not use addresses outside of the range 76124.

message received from one follower unit is forwarded to all follower
units.

ModuleBus (AC 70, AC 80, FCI [CI810]): 4 Mbit/s
DriveBus (AC 80): 4 Mbit/s (provisionally 8 Mbit/s)

Optical Power (X2X11) Each fibre optic channel has an optical power/disable jumper selector
on the circuit board of the NDBU. The jumper should be set according
to the length (or attenuation) of the cable as shown below.
Note: Set the jumper to the Disabled (DIS) position on all unused
channels to reduce heat generation.

Power Supply (X1) The NDBU-85/95 requires a supply voltage of 24 V d.c. 10%. The
connection is protected by means of fuse F1 and is galvanically
isolated from earth and the logic circuitry.
Diagnostic LEDs The diagnostic LEDs on the circuit board of the NDBU unit can be
viewed through the holes in the metal housing.
Each fibre optic channel has two LEDs labelled TXD and RXD. These
indicate messages being transmitted (TXD) or received (RXD). In
normal operation, these LEDs should be flashing continuously on all
channels that are in use.
The +5V OK LED indicates that the logic circuitry of the NDBU is
receiving its supply voltage of 5 V. This LED should be illuminated
when the NDBU is powered.
Mechanical The housing of the NDBU-85/95 unit has two spring-loaded fasteners
Installation for 35 7.5 mm DIN rail mounting. The unit mounts on a vertical or
horizontal rail.
The unit should be mounted so that air can freely pass through the
ventilation holes in the housing. Mounting directly above heat-
generating equipment should be avoided.
