Product Description:

The 00.F5.0C0-0020 interface cable is produced by KEB and belongs to the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It is supplied as an accessory for those drives, acting as a temporary link between a personal computer and the drive’s internal control board so that parameters, event logs, and runtime values can be exchanged during installation or maintenance. By exposing a dedicated service channel, the cable allows field engineers to adjust motion profiles, upload firmware, and verify I/O mapping without interrupting production wiring.

At a physical level the assembly measures a cable length of 0.4 m, short enough to minimize signal degradation while keeping the computer close to the control cabinet. Both ends terminate in the proprietary connector that carries the bidirectional serial stream defined by the HSP5 interface. When the drive is polled, the onboard microcontroller communicates using the KEB-HSP5 PC protocol, which maps parameters into structured telegrams understood by the COMBIVIS software. The port provided on the drive is listed as a HSP5 Service Interface, so no adapters are needed; once connected, device discovery and diagnostics are performed through the workstation’s COMBIVIS 6 suite.

Because the cable is intended strictly for a Diagnostic / Service Interface, it is not fitted with application-level feedback devices; an encoder feedback card is therefore none and must be accessed through separate wiring if required for closed-loop tuning. Its design matches the signal assignments used throughout the Combivert F5 family, ensuring that a single lead can support multiple inverter frame sizes during bench work or on-site service. By maintaining pin compatibility with the native drive connector, KEB eliminates the need for custom field harnesses and reduces the time needed to capture fault histories or to restore parameter sets after component replacement.
