Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the BCAN-11 is the right module for your application:
- Step 1 – Confirm drive model: Verify your ABB drive has a fieldbus adapter slot (R-type or D-type). Check the drive hardware manual.
- Step 2 – Confirm network protocol: BCAN-11 supports CANopen only. For PROFIBUS, PROFINET, or EtherCAT, select the corresponding ABB adapter (FPBA-01, FENA-21, FECA-01).
- Step 3 – Check baud rate requirements: Ensure your CANopen master supports the same baud rate range (10 kbps–1 Mbps).
- Step 4 – Verify node count: CANopen networks support up to 127 nodes. Plan your network topology accordingly.
- Step 5 – Firmware version: Some BCAN-11 revisions require minimum drive firmware versions. Confirm with ABB documentation or contact us.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the BCAN-11 replace the BCAN-01?
A: In most cases yes, for ACS550 and ACS800 drives. The BCAN-11 is a later revision with improved diagnostics. Verify parameter mapping before substitution.
Q: Is the BCAN-11 compatible with ACS880?
A: Compatibility depends on the ACS880 hardware revision and firmware version. ABB recommends the FCAN-01 for ACS880 series. Contact us for confirmation.
Q: Can I use a third-party CANopen adapter instead?
A: Third-party adapters may work but require custom parameter configuration and may not support all ABB-specific drive objects. We recommend original ABB adapters for critical applications.
Q: Do you provide installation support?
A: Yes. Our technical team can provide parameter setting guides and commissioning checklists. Contact [email protected].
Q: What is the warranty on this module?
A: New original units carry ABB’s standard warranty. Refurbished or surplus units carry a 90-day Konmask warranty.
