Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Native ACS880 Integration – Designed exclusively for the ACS880 platform; no external gateway or converter required, reducing BOM cost and panel space.
- Device Level Ring (DLR) Support – Enables fault-tolerant ring topology, eliminating single points of network failure in critical production lines.
- Dual-Port RJ-45 – Supports daisy-chain wiring, simplifying cable routing and reducing switch port requirements in large drive arrays.
- Seamless PLC Integration – Pre-built EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) files available for Rockwell Automation Studio 5000, enabling rapid tag import and commissioning.
- Real-Time Parameter Access – Full read/write access to all ACS880 drive parameters over the network, enabling remote tuning and diagnostics without local panel access.
- Compact Plug-In Design – Tool-free installation into the drive option slot; no additional mounting hardware or wiring terminals required.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the FEIP-21 compatible with ACS580 or ACS480 drives?
A: No. The FEIP-21 is designed exclusively for the ACS880 drive series. For ACS580, the correct module is FENA-21; for ACS480, use FENA-01.
Q: Can I use the FEIP-21 with a Siemens S7 PLC?
A: Yes. EtherNet/IP is an open standard. Siemens S7-1500 with a CP 1543-1 module supports EtherNet/IP scanner functionality and can communicate with the FEIP-21.
Q: Does the FEIP-21 support implicit (I/O) and explicit (messaging) communication simultaneously?
A: Yes. The module supports concurrent cyclic I/O (implicit) and explicit messaging, allowing real-time control alongside parameter read/write operations.
Q: What is the maximum number of FEIP-21 modules per ACS880 drive?
A: One FEIP-21 per drive. The ACS880 option slot 1 or slot 2 can be used; only one EtherNet/IP adapter is supported per drive unit.
Q: Is firmware update required after installation?
A: ABB recommends verifying firmware compatibility using Drive Composer Pro. Firmware updates are performed over the drive’s USB or Ethernet connection.
