Description

CI502: Product Overview
The CI502 (1SAP220700R0001) is a DeviceNet communication interface module within ABB’s AC500 series of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), designed to enable connectivity between AC500 CPUs and DeviceNet-enabled field devices. Its role is to act as a protocol gateway, positioned in AC500 I/O racks to bridge the controller with peripheral equipment such as sensors, actuators, and remote I/O stations. In automated manufacturing cells—including welding, assembly, and material handling—it ensures synchronized operation by exchanging discrete I/O signals (e.g., part presence, gripper status, safety interlocks) between the PLC and its tooling or surrounding systems.
Functionally, the module processes 16 digital I/O channels (8 inputs, 8 outputs) via DeviceNet (CIP protocol, up to 500 kbps), supporting cyclic data exchange for real-time control and acyclic messages for diagnostics. It belongs to the AC500 platform, a family recognized for modular scalability, compatibility with CODESYS V3 and ABB Automation Builder software, and seamless integration with third-party devices. Benefits include reduced wiring complexity through standardized fieldbus communication, simplified system expansion via plug-and-play modules, and unified configuration workflows that minimize commissioning time.

Core Features & Customer Value​
Multi-channel density for moderate I/O needs: The module’s 16-channel configuration (8 in/8 out) consolidates connectivity for systems with moderate I/O requirements—such as a pick-and-place robot needing end-effector sensors and pneumatic valve controls. This reduces the number of adapters needed, simplifying wiring harnesses and lowering material costs compared to deploying multiple single-channel interfaces.
Configurable I/O flexibility: Each channel supports sinking/sourcing input and sourcing output, accommodating diverse field devices (e.g., proximity switches, solenoid valves) without external converters. For engineers, this streamlines retrofits of legacy sensors and actuators, avoiding costly hardware modifications.
Galvanic isolation for signal integrity: 500V AC isolation between channels and the bus protects the AC500 CPU from ground loops and voltage transients common in industrial environments. This ensures reliable signal transmission for critical operations like part presence detection, where noise-induced errors could disrupt production.
Hot-swap capability for minimal downtime: Replacement without de-energizing the I/O rack allows maintenance during planned stoppages, a critical advantage in high-volume manufacturing. Built-in diagnostics (LED indicators for power, communication, and I/O status) and integration with Automation Builder software enable quick fault isolation—for example, identifying a faulty proximity switch via error codes without halting the line. Virtual commissioning via ABB’s tools further cuts on-site configuration time by 15-20%.

Typical Applications​
In an automotive assembly plant’s welding line, the CI502 connects an AC500 PLC to 8 weld gun proximity switches (inputs) and 8 pneumatic cylinder valves (outputs), synchronizing spot welding with part positioning. Its DeviceNet interface ensures real-time response to part arrival signals, maintaining cycle time consistency.
At an electronics manufacturing facility, the module interfaces a pick-and-place robot’s AC500 controller with DeviceNet-linked vacuum sensors (inputs) and gripper actuators (outputs). This ensures precise component handling, with 0°C cold-start capability supporting climate-controlled cleanroom environments.
In a logistics warehouse, a palletizing robot uses the CI502 to communicate with DeviceNet I/O stations monitoring stack height sensors (inputs) and conveyor start/stop commands (outputs). This optimizes throughput by adjusting robot speed based on real-time bin levels, with hot-swap maintenance minimizing disruptions during peak operations.
