•• Core Function: Provides 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs for interfacing with sensors, actuators, and switches in industrial control applications.
500BIO01: Product OverviewThe 500BIO01 is a digital input/output module designed for ABB’s AC 500 programmable logic controller (PLC) series. This mixed I/O module provides eight 24V DC digital inputs and eight 24V DC digital outputs in a single compact unit, offering a space-efficient solution for applications requiring both input sensing and output control capabilities. Installed in an AC 500 I/O baseplate, it serves as the interface between the PLC and field devices, reading status from sensors and switches while controlling actuators such as solenoid valves, relays, and indicators.The module operates under the control of the AC 500 CPU, with input channels monitoring the state of field devices and output channels executing control commands based on the user program. The digital inputs detect the presence of 24V DC signals from devices like push buttons, limit switches, and proximity sensors, while the digital outputs provide switched 24V DC to control field actuators. The module features electrical isolation between the field side and the system side, protecting the sensitive PLC electronics from electrical noise and voltage transients present in industrial environments.

Core Features & Customer ValueThe module’s mixed I/O configuration provides significant space savings in control cabinets by combining input and output functionality in a single module. For system integrators, this reduces the number of modules required, simplifies wiring, and lowers overall system cost. The high-density design (16 channels in one module) is particularly valuable in space-constrained applications.The individual channel status LEDs provide immediate visual feedback for troubleshooting, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly identify active inputs and outputs without requiring additional test equipment. The removable terminal block facilitates easy wiring and module replacement, reducing maintenance downtime. The module’s robust design ensures reliable operation in industrial environments with electrical noise and vibration.Typical ApplicationsIn machine automation, the 500BIO01 reads sensor data from limit switches and photoeyes while controlling solenoid valves and indicator lights on automated assembly equipment. The mixed I/O capability allows a single module to handle both sensing and control functions for a machine section.In building automation, the module monitors status from door sensors and emergency stops while controlling lighting relays and ventilation fans. The 24V DC operation makes it suitable for low-voltage control applications requiring both input monitoring and output control.
