Warranty The warranty for your ABB drive and options covers manufacturing
defects. The manufacturer carries no responsibility for damage due to
transportation or unpacking. In no event and under no circumstances
shall the manufacturer be liable for damages and failures due to
misuse, abuse, improper installation, or abnormal conditions of
temperature, dust, or corrosives, or failures due to operation above
rated capacities. Nor shall the manufacturer ever be liable for
consequential and incidental damages.
The period of manufacturer’s warranty is 12 months, and not more than
18 months, from the date of delivery. Extended warranty may be
available with certified start-up. Contact your local distributor for details.

Data Mapping The ABC-DEV has been pre-configured to support the following
functionality:
• send output data to the drive, maximum of 3 words:
ACS 140/160/400 with RS485 interface -Drv X CW = Control Word for drive X
-Drv X Ref1 = Reference value 1 for drive X
The ABC-DEV module is directly linked to the DeviceNet fieldbus
network. The standard Modbus protocol is used on the subnet for -Drv X Ref2 = Reference value 2 for drive X
