Features:
- Supports EtherNet/IP,Modbus TCP,and PROFINET for seamless network integration
- Converts PWM signals to IGBT gate drive signals for ACS600/ACS800 drives
- Operates from -20°C to +60°C with IP20/IP65 ratings
The NINT-72C is designed as a versatile communication interface supporting multiple industrial Ethernet protocols including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET . This allows the module to integrate seamlessly with various automation systems from different vendors. With support for up to 64 TCP connections and 128 CIP connections, the NINT-72C provides robust networking capabilities for demanding applications . The module enables data communication, remote monitoring of drive status, and remote programming capabilities . The 10/100 Mbps communication rate ensures adequate bandwidth for real-time control and data exchange.
As a core component of ABB ACS600 and ACS800 drive systems, the NINT-72C serves as the critical link between the control unit and the power section . It receives pulse width modulation (PWM) signals from the control unit and decodes them to generate appropriate voltage and current commands . These commands are then converted into gate drive signals for the IGBT switching devices, enabling precise control of motor speed and torque . The module provides isolation between the drive and the control system, enhancing system safety and reliability.
The NINT-72C is engineered for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. It operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and can be stored from -40°C to +80°C, ensuring performance across various climate conditions . The module withstands 5% to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) and offers protection ratings from IP20 to IP67 depending on the variant .
The NINT-72C ABB Communication Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Heavy Manufacturing & Metal Processing: Implemented in multi-motor rolling mills, paper machines, and wire drawing lines managed by common DC bus MultiDrive configurations.
- Pumps, Fans & Compressors: Installed in high-capacity HVAC systems, water treatment plants, and mining aeration infrastructure.
- Marine & Offshore Propulsion: Utilized within the liquid-cooled ACW600 drive series for thruster control and onboard power distribution.
- Dependent Topology: The application firmware is located on the adjacent primary control board—typically the NAMC (Application and Motor Control) board or an external NIOC (I/O Control) board.
- Firmware Revision Requirements: When replacing or servicing a NINT-72C board, you must verify that the physical board revision aligns with the ACS600 System Application Program firmware version running on the NAMC card (e.g., Firmware Version 5.x or 6.x).
- Hardware Lifecycle Updates: Updates are executed exclusively via a module swap or components revision upgrade. Because the ACS600 is currently in its limited/legacy lifecycle phase, updates focus on replacing aging components with refurbished or revised surplus stock to ensure longevity.
- DDCS Fiber-Optic Mapping: Connects directly via proprietary Distributed Drives Communication System (DDCS) fiber-optic links to the controller rack. This bus manages internal communication without manual address programming.
- Drive Parameter Tooling: Systems engineers configure the behavioral logic of the interface using standard DriveWindow software or a CDP312 physical control panel linked to the primary control card.
- Fieldbus Integration (External): To connect the drive to external networks like Modbus RTU, CANopen, or PROFIBUS, optional communication adapters (such as NMBA-01 or NPBA-12 modules) must be pigggybacked onto the primary control bus rather than wiring directly into the NINT-72C.
