Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
ABB FEN-21 is a drive feedback interface for a resolver and a TTL incremental encoder; ABB's current public product ID is 68805848, while requested code 68679303 is not corroborated in the reviewed ABB sources and remains on nameplate/order-record hold.
  • Module type: Resolver and TTL encoder interface
  • Verified model: FEN-21
  • Current ABB public product ID: 68805848
  • Requested numeric code: 68679303 — identity relationship not confirmed in reviewed ABB public sources

Installed in a supported ABB drive option slot, it converts the resolver's excitation, sine, and cosine signals or the TTL encoder's A/B/Z pulse signals into position and speed feedback used by the drive control program; it can also accept PTC/KTY motor-temperature feedback and two digital position-latch inputs. The module provides software-adjustable resolver excitation from 4 to 12 Vrms at 1 to 20 kHz, accepts resolver sine/cosine levels of 2 to 7 Vrms, receives differential RS-422/485 TTL encoder signals up to 500 kHz, and provides a differential TTL encoder-emulation output with 1 to 65535 pulses per revolution and a reference mark. FEN-21 is paired with a compatible ABB drive, a documented resolver or TTL incremental encoder, shielded twisted-pair feedback cables, optional KTY84/PTC temperature sensor, and the correct firmware parameters in closed-loop motor-speed, position, and machinery-drive applications where the host drive manual explicitly lists FEN-21.

Important Notice: Obtain a clear physical ABB label or exact ABB order record showing both FEN-21 and 68679303 before publishing that numeric relationship as confirmed.

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.

Resolver motor feedback
Supplies resolver excitation and processes sine/cosine rotor-angle signals for closed-loop speed and position control in a compatible ABB drive.
TTL incremental encoder feedback
Receives differential A/B/Z pulses for motor speed, direction, position, and reference-mark feedback.
Encoder signal emulation
Outputs a differential TTL A/B/Z emulation signal to a compatible receiving device when the engineered drive application requires shared feedback.
Position capture and motor temperature
Uses two digital latch inputs for position events and an insulated KTY84/PTC sensor for documented motor-temperature monitoring in machinery drive applications.
Read and follow the current ABB documentation and host-equipment instructions before work. Verify the complete physical nameplate and system configuration.
1
Verify the physical ABB label and exact order record before associating requested code 68679303 with FEN-21; ABB's current public product ID is 68805848.
2
Confirm the exact ABB drive, firmware, option slot, resolver/encoder type, pulse count, excitation, and parameter support before installation.
3
Only qualified electrical personnel may work on the drive. Isolate drive mains and all external control circuits, wait the ABB-specified discharge time, and verify absence of voltage.
4
Select +5.5 V or +24 V encoder supply with the jumper before mounting. Remove the jumper if an external encoder supply or another FEN emulation output is connected; the wrong selection can damage the encoder.
5
Keep resolver excitation within 4 to 12 Vrms at 1 to 20 kHz and verify that sine/cosine amplitudes remain within 2 to 7 Vrms for the exact resolver transformation ratio.

Technical notes

Technical notes

Verification Status: MODEL_VERIFIED; REQUESTED_NUMERIC_CODE_NOT_CORROBORATED_IN_REVIEWED_ABB_PUBLIC_SOURCES; NAMEPLATE_OR_ORDER_RECORD_HOLD Exact Mapping: ABB's current public product page identifies FEN-21 as product ID 68805848, and ABB's current FEN-21 manual verifies the model and function. The reviewed ABB public sources did not directly map requested number 68679303 to FEN-21. Do not describe 68679303 as a verified current or former ABB product ID without a matching ABB nameplate or official order record. Lifecycle Status: ABB maintains a current FEN-21 product page and a 2024 Rev E manual. The cited exact sources do not assign an Active, Classic, Limited, or Obsolete phase. Do not invent a lifecycle label for either FEN-21 or requested code 68679303. Country Of Origin: Not published for requested code 68679303 in the cited ABB sources; do not guess. Dimensions: ABB drawing: 106 mm overall height and 63 mm depth, with 31 mm and 26 mm indicated profile widths. Preserve the drawing labels rather than presenting an unsupported single-width W x H x D statement. Weight: Not published in the cited current ABB manual or product page. Obtain a clear physical ABB label or exact ABB order record showing both FEN-21 and 68679303 before publishing that numeric relationship as confirmed. Do not silently replace 68679303 with current product ID 68805848 or assert that one formally supersedes the other without the ABB record. Do not confuse FEN-21 with FEN-01, FEN-11, or FEN-31; their supported feedback technologies differ. Verify the exact drive type, hardware revision, firmware, option slot, resolver/encoder, excitation, supply selection, and temperature-sensor insulation before installation.

FAQS

  • What is ABB FEN-21?
    It is a feedback interface module for a resolver, a TTL incremental encoder, TTL encoder emulation, two position-latch inputs, and an optional PTC/KTY temperature signal.
  • Is 68679303 officially verified as the FEN-21 product ID?
    Not from the reviewed ABB public sources. ABB's current public FEN-21 record uses product ID 68805848, so 68679303 requires a matching ABB nameplate or order record.
  • What resolver signals does FEN-21 handle?
    It supplies 4-to-12-Vrms, 1-to-20-kHz excitation and receives differential sine and cosine signals of 2 to 7 Vrms.
  • Which TTL encoder signals are supported?
    Differential RS-422/485 A, B, and Z signals up to 500 kHz, with 1 to 65535 pulses per revolution and a reference mark.
  • Can FEN-21 power the TTL encoder?
    Yes. A jumper selects +5.5 V or +24 V. The exact encoder voltage/current and cable drop must be checked, and the jumper must be removed when an external supply is used.
  • Does FEN-21 provide an encoder output?
    Yes. It provides differential TTL A/B/Z encoder emulation up to 500 kHz with 1 to 65535 pulses per revolution and a reference mark.
  • How many position-latch inputs are available?
    Two 24 V digital latch inputs.
  • Can it read motor temperature?
    It supports a KTY84 or PTC sensor through the resolver connector, but only when double or reinforced insulation separates the sensor from live motor parts.
  • Which drives are compatible?
    ABB requires checking the exact drive ordering information or hardware manual; do not infer compatibility from the FEN-21 model name alone.
  • What is the maximum module power consumption?
    ABB specifies 350 mA at 24 V, with a maximum combined consumption of 5 W for encoders, latch circuits, and cabling.
  • What is the protection rating?
    IP20; the host drive cabinet and installation provide the required environmental protection.
  • Is FEN-21 officially Active or Classic?
    The cited ABB sources do not print a named lifecycle phase. A current product page and 2024 manual exist, but no Active, Classic, Limited, or Obsolete label should be invented.
