Description
ABB FEX-2A 3ADT311500R0001 module
The ABB FEX-2A (Part Number: 3ADT311500R0001) is a high-performance Field Excitation Unit (Exciter) designed primarily for use with ABB’s industrial drive systems, specifically the DCS800 and DCS550 series DC drives. It serves as a specialized power converter that provides and regulates the DC current required for the field winding of a DC motor.
Product Specifications (Parameters)
| Feature | Specification |
| Model Designation | FEX-2A |
| Product ID | 3ADT311500R0001 |
| Input Voltage | 2-phase AC, typically up to 500V (depending on drive configuration) |
| Rated Output Current | Up to 25A (Continuous) |
| Output Type | Controlled DC current for motor field excitation |
| Cooling Method | Natural convection / Heat sink integration |
| Control Interface | Internal bus connection to the main DCS control unit |
| Dimensions | Compact modular design for internal drive mounting |
Key Advantages
-
Integrated Control: Unlike third-party exciters, the FEX-2A communicates directly with the DCS800 firmware, allowing for seamless field weakening and motor protection.
-
High Reliability: Built to industrial standards, ensuring stable performance in harsh environments like steel mills or paper plants.
-
Precision Regulation: Provides extremely stable field current, which is critical for maintaining constant torque and preventing motor overspeed during field weakening.
-
Space Efficient: Its compact form factor allows it to be mounted directly within the drive cabinet, reducing external wiring and footprint.
Product Applications
The FEX-2A is essential in any application requiring precise control of a DC motor’s magnetic field, particularly:
-
Metals Industry: Main drives for rolling mills and wire drawing machines.
-
Pulp & Paper: Sectional drives for paper machines and winders.
-
Mining: Hoists and conveyor systems requiring high starting torque.
-
Extruders: Plastic and rubber manufacturing where speed consistency is vital.
Important Considerations & Maintenance
Safety Warning: This equipment operates with high voltage and high current. Ensure all power sources are disconnected and locked out before installation or maintenance.
-
Firmware Compatibility: Ensure the main drive’s firmware version supports the FEX-2A module to avoid communication errors.
-
Heat Dissipation: Although compact, the unit generates heat. Ensure the drive cabinet has adequate ventilation to prevent thermal tripping.
-
Overcurrent Protection: Always verify that the field current settings in the drive software do not exceed the motor’s rated field current or the FEX-2A’s 25A limit.
-
Wiring Integrity: Check terminal connections regularly, as vibration in industrial settings can loosen wires, leading to arcing or loss of field (which can cause a motor “runaway” condition).
