ABB FEIP-21 is an F-series two-port EtherNet/IP fieldbus adapte.
- Manufacturer: ABB
- Model: FEIP-21
- Requested / certificate assembly identifier: 3AXD50000192793 (not the current loose-item product ID)
- Current ABB public product ID: 3AXD50000192786
It connects the drive to an EtherNet/IP controller and carries drive control commands, speed or torque references, process actual values or PID references, status and actual values, fault-reset commands, and drive parameter read/write data between the automation network and the drive. The module uses two RJ-45 Ethernet ports with an integrated switch for star, daisy-chain, or Device Level Ring topology, supports 10BASE-TX and 100BASE-TX with auto-negotiation and Auto-MDIX, and supports ODVA AC/DC drive profiles and ABB drive profiles; current firmware also supports Drive Composer Pro connectivity and OPC UA monitoring/diagnostics where configured. FEIP-21 is used with ABB common-architecture drives and a compatible EtherNet/IP PLC or scanner, shielded CAT5e/6 industrial Ethernet cable, the correct EDS/profile and drive firmware in networked motor-control applications such as coordinated machinery, pumps, fans, conveyors, and process drives where the exact host manual confirms compatibility.
Important Notice: Verify whether the delivered label shows current product ID 3AXD50000192786 and/or certificate hardware/assembly identifier 3AXD50000192793; do not infer a supersession relationship.

Important Notice: The first link is the product-parameters PDF prepared only from the cited manufacturer information; the second link is the Apter Power product manual. Confirm the physical nameplate, current manufacturer documents, and host-system requirements before installation or replacement.
EtherNet/IP drive control
Links a compatible ABB drive to a PLC or controller for command, reference, status, actual-value, and parameter exchange.
Device Level Ring networks
Uses the integrated two-port switch in a correctly configured DLR ring without a separate DLR switch at each drive.
Daisy-chained drive cells
Connects multiple compatible drive nodes through the two RJ-45 ports, subject to ABB's recommended node and cable limits.
Drive startup and diagnostics
Provides supported Drive Composer Pro and optional OPC UA access for commissioning, monitoring, and diagnostic workflows while network security controls are applied.
Read and follow the current ABB documentation and host-equipment instructions before work. Verify the complete physical nameplate and system configuration.
1
Verify FEIP-21 and assembly code 3AXD50000192793 on the ABB label, and verify adapter revision/firmware before applying the current manual.
2
Confirm the exact drive, control-program version, option slot, and firmware compatibility; ABB notes that not every compatible drive is listed in the manual.
3
Only qualified electrical personnel may install or service the module. Stop the drive and complete the electrical-safety procedure in the exact drive hardware manual before opening the control unit.
4
Do not install or remove FEIP-21 while the drive is powered, and do not install it on the FEA-03 F-series extension adapter because ABB explicitly prohibits that placement.
5
Tighten the grounding screw to 0.8 N·m; ABB states that correct torque is required for grounding, EMC compliance, and reliable operation.
