Description

500CIM05: Product Overview
The 500CIM05 is a communication interface module designed for ABB’s AC 500 programmable logic controller (PLC) series. This module serves as a PROFIBUS DP (Decentralized Peripherals) fieldbus interface, enabling the AC 500 PLC to communicate with a network of PROFIBUS DP devices. Installed in the communication slot of an AC 500 PLC baseplate, it can be configured to operate as either a DP Master or a DP Slave, providing flexibility in system architecture.
When configured as a Master, the module actively controls the PROFIBUS DP network, cyclically exchanging data with slave devices such as remote I/O stations, drives, and other field equipment. When configured as a Slave, it allows the AC 500 PLC to act as a slave device on a network controlled by a higher-level master (e.g., a DCS or another PLC). The module handles the protocol conversion between the PLC’s internal bus and the PROFIBUS DP network, ensuring reliable and deterministic data exchange.

Core Features & Customer Value
The module’s dual-role capability (Master or Slave) provides significant design flexibility. For system integrators, this means the same hardware can be used whether the AC 500 PLC needs to control a network of devices (as a Master) or integrate as a subordinate unit into a larger automation system (as a Slave). This reduces spare part variety and simplifies system design.
The high baud rate (up to 12 Mbps) ensures fast response times for time-critical applications. The comprehensive diagnostic capabilities provide detailed information about network health and individual slave devices, enabling quick troubleshooting and reducing system downtime. The module’s robust design ensures reliable operation in industrial environments with electrical noise.
Typical Applications
In a machine control application, the 500CIM05 configured as a DP Master communicates with remote I/O stations and variable frequency drives distributed across the machine. This centralizes control in the AC 500 PLC while reducing wiring costs.
In a large process plant, the module configured as a DP Slave allows the AC 500 PLC (controlling a specific skid or unit) to exchange data with a higher-level DCS. This enables seamless integration of packaged equipment into the overall plant control strategy.
