Product Description

The ASB827032 is a communication module designed for integration with Schneider Electric's Altivar 820 (ATV820) series of variable frequency drives (VFDs). This module allows for advanced communication capabilities, enabling integration with industrial control systems like PLC, HMI, and SCADA. The module provides enhanced network connectivity, offering both Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus RTU support, which are widely used communication protocols in industrial automation.

The ASB827032 module is typically used in industrial automation applications where there is a need for remote monitoring, diagnostics, and control of VFDs, improving system performance and simplifying maintenance tasks. This communication module is designed to make the Altivar 820 series VFDs more versatile by allowing seamless communication in Ethernet and serial communication environments.
