This is a great resources. The BCBL-01 (3AXD50000032449) cable and Drive Composer can also be used to connect to the ACS880, ACS380 and ACS480. The BCBL-01 USB to 485 (Male RJ45 connector) is a great way to connect a PC directly to an ACS880 w/out a keypad. They only need Drive Composer Basic on the PC, USB port, BCBL-01 connected to the left port on the keypad cradle. Though it is harder to get access to, the BCBL-01 can also be plugged directly into X13 on the ZCU. As a reminder, the Type 12 outer keypad cradle does not include the additional RJ45 ports, but the inner cradle is like that on a Type 1 with the hidden ports on the top left and right. In addition to having an extra ACS-AP-W, the BCBL-01, is a must for every drive specialists tool bag. Note: To connect to X13 on ZCU, it does require access to the ZCU board so all safety precautions must be followed.
@@MrMadridoo23 great question. The Drive Composer Basic and Pro are designed for the drive families who are part of the “All Compatible Portfolio “ which includes ACS380, ACS480, ACS/Q/H580, ACS880 and DCS880. There is limited connectivity to some of the previous generation drives but for upgrade purposes not so much standard day to day parameterization.
@@ras5056 Great ... let me ask the question differently to be more precise, is drive composer (entry or pro) compatible with DCS 600, DCS 800, ACS 600 and ACS 6000 ?
@@MrMadridoo23 No. Only the newer All Compatible Drives along with the older ACS800 drives. I believe the ACS600 used same DriveWindow as the ACS800 series, via fibre optic connection; which happens to still be available. The DCS600/800 DC Drives can also use Drive Window or Drive Window Light. The new DCS880 series is the new "All Compatible" DC Drive being sold today which also uses Drive Composer (Pro).

Is drive composer compatible with all AC and DC drives or just with some specific ones?
