Compass provides an off-the-shelf, standard protocol to connect disparate devices and proprietary protocols onto a single, common open platform.
Up to 20 ABB drives may be connected to each Compass Point, providing an economical solution for installations with multiple drives.
Parameters such as motor frequency, alarm condition, start/stop, commands and current feedback can be accessed by any Compass-compatible third-party system.
