Description

CI522 1SAP222200R0001: Product Overview
This component is a PROFINET IO communication module within ABB’s AC500 PLC series, designed for industrial automation systems requiring high-speed fieldbus integration. In a PLC architecture, it functions as a network interface, positioned in the AC500 controller’s communication slot to bridge the PLC with PROFINET IO-enabled devices (e.g., remote I/O stations, variable frequency drives, smart sensors). Its role is to manage real-time data exchange—transmitting control commands from the PLC to field devices and relaying device status/feedback to the PLC—while adhering to PROFINET IO protocol standards for deterministic communication.
The core functionality involves encoding/decoding PROFINET IO signals, handling cyclic (real-time I/O) and acyclic (configuration/diagnostics) data packets, and managing node addressing (controller/device roles). It supports up to 256 devices per network segment, with data capacity of 1440 bytes input/output per device. The module includes built-in diagnostics for network errors (e.g., CRC faults, device timeouts) and link status monitoring, aiding in troubleshooting.
It belongs to the AC500 PLC Communication Modules family, optimized for modularity, compatibility, and integration with ABB’s automation ecosystem. The platform’s benefits include standardized mounting to AC500 controller chassis, seamless configuration via ABB’s Control Builder M software, and adherence to IEC 61158 (fieldbus standard), ensuring interoperability with third-party PROFINET devices. This reduces system integration time and supports phased upgrades of legacy installations.

Core Features & Customer Value​
The module’s design prioritizes protocol compliance, network scalability, and operational reliability. PROFINET IO support ensures compatibility with ABB drives (e.g., ACS580) and third-party I/O stations, eliminating the need for protocol converters and reducing component count. The 100Mbps Ethernet speed enables fast data transfer for high-speed applications (e.g., motion control), while auto-negotiation simplifies network setup.
Up to 256 devices per segment reduces network complexity for medium-to-large systems (e.g., a packaging line with 50 sensors and 30 actuators), minimizing the need for additional switches or segments. The 500Vrms isolation prevents ground loops and transient voltage spikes from corrupting data—critical in environments with heavy machinery (e.g., metal forming presses), where electromagnetic interference is common.
Integration with Control Builder M software streamlines configuration: engineers define device roles (controller/IO device), assign IP addresses, and map data via a graphical interface, with automatic generation of diagnostic tags. This consistency with other AC500 modules reduces training time and minimizes configuration errors. Built-in diagnostics (e.g., device offline alerts, frame error counters) provide actionable insights, allowing maintenance teams to address network issues before they disrupt production.

Typical Applications​
In an automotive assembly line, the module connects an ABB AC500 PLC to 30 PROFINET IO remote I/O stations (monitoring part presence sensors) and 20 ACS580 VFDs (controlling conveyor motors). The 100Mbps speed ensures real-time synchronization of conveyor speeds, while diagnostics alert operators to a failed I/O station (node timeout), minimizing line stoppages.
At a food processing facility, the module interfaces the PLC with PROFINET IO temperature controllers and motorized valves. The 256-device capacity covers all field devices in a single segment, and the -25°C to +55°C operating range suits washdown-resistant control cabinets. Acyclic data exchanges update valve calibration parameters during sanitation cycles.
In a water treatment plant, the module links the PLC to remote I/O stations (monitoring pH/flow sensors) and pump controllers. Redundant Ethernet links (optional) ensure communication continuity during switch maintenance, and isolation prevents corrosion-related ground loops from affecting data accuracy.
