Product Description

The ASBADU204 is a communication option card designed for use with Schneider Electric's Altivar 32 (ATV32) and Altivar 320 (ATV320) series variable frequency drives (VFDs). This card provides Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP communication capabilities, enabling seamless integration of these drives into industrial automation networks for remote monitoring, control, and diagnostics.

The ASBADU204 is an essential option for users who want to connect their VFDs to Modbus-based networks, facilitating data exchange with higher-level automation systems like PLCs, SCADA, or DCS. The card provides the flexibility to communicate over both serial (RS485) and Ethernet networks, making it a versatile solution for various industrial environments.
