ABB SDCS-UCM-1-COAT Inverter Communication & Control Module
The SDCS-UCM-1-COAT is an original industrial-grade communication and control module developed by ABB, specifically engineered for ABB ACS series mid-to-high power inverters (e.g., ACS800 heavy-duty drives, ACS880 multi-drive systems, and select legacy ACS600 models). As a dual-functional component, it integrates advanced communication protocol support and supplementary control logic capabilities, acting as a "communication gateway" and "control enhancer" between the inverter and upper-level industrial automation systems (e.g., DCS, PLC, SCADA). This module is critical for large-scale industrial scenarios—such as steel rolling mills, water treatment plants, and mining operations—where high-speed, reliable data exchange and flexible control customization are essential for centralized system management.

The SDCS-UCM-1-COAT is a genuine ABB module that combines communication expansion and control enhancement to address the complex interaction needs of ACS series inverters in large-scale automation systems. It resolves limitations in the inverter’s native communication interfaces and basic control functions, enabling seamless integration with diverse upper-level systems while supporting customized control workflows—critical for minimizing system latency and ensuring consistent operational efficiency.
Key Functions
Multi-Protocol Industrial Communication: Natively supports mainstream industrial communication protocols to adapt to varied automation architectures, including:
Profinet IRT: Enables high-speed, deterministic communication (cycle times down to 1ms) for time-sensitive applications (e.g., synchronized motor control in steel processing).
Modbus TCP/IP: Facilitates long-distance, cost-effective data exchange with SCADA or HMI systems (e.g., remote monitoring of water treatment pumps).
EtherNet/IP: Ensures compatibility with Rockwell Automation-based control systems, supporting bidirectional data flow for parameter configuration and status feedback.
Optional protocol customization (via ABB’s Control Builder Plus software) to match site-specific protocol requirements.
Supplementary Control Logic Execution: Provides a built-in programmable logic engine to run customized control sequences, reducing reliance on external PLCs for simple-to-medium complexity tasks:
Supports ladder logic or function block programming (FBD) for workflows like sequential startup/shutdown of multi-inverter systems, interlock protection (e.g., blocking operation if safety gates are open), or load-sharing between parallel drives.
Integrates 4x digital I/O channels (2 inputs, 2 outputs) for direct connection to local sensors or actuators, enabling standalone control loops (e.g., temperature-based speed adjustment for fans).
Real-Time Data Synchronization: Transmits inverter operating data (e.g., output voltage, motor torque, fault codes) and receives control commands (e.g., speed references, mode switches) with a maximum data refresh rate of 100Hz, ensuring upper-level systems have up-to-date visibility and responsive control over the inverter.
Fault Tolerance & Diagnostics: Features built-in communication error detection (e.g., packet loss, protocol mismatch) and auto-recovery mechanisms. It logs communication faults and internal module errors, transmitting detailed fault codes to both the inverter’s main display and upper-level systems. Local LED indicators (communication active, fault) provide at-a-glance status for quick troubleshooting.
