A drive's communication interface to a plant controller commonly uses

  • A.an analogue voltage signal exclusively
  • B.a mechanical linkage from the control desk
  • C.the power cable itself with no separate connection
  • D.an industrial fieldbus or Ethernet protocol

Answer: D

Correct answer: an industrial fieldbus or Ethernet protocol

Modern drives are integrated into plant control through a digital protocol - Profibus, Modbus, EtherCAT, Profinet and the like - which carries speed and torque references, status and diagnostics on one connection. It replaces the analogue reference and relay contacts of older installations and allows far more information to pass.
