Description

CS513AK01 3BSE091971R1: Product Overview
This component is a CANopen communication module within ABB’s AC500 PLC series, designed for industrial automation systems requiring fieldbus integration with CANopen-enabled devices. In a PLC architecture, it functions as a network interface, positioned in the AC500 controller’s communication slot to bridge the controller with CANopen networks (e.g., remote I/O stations, variable frequency drives, smart sensors). Its role is to manage deterministic data exchange—transmitting control commands from the PLC to field devices and relaying device status/feedback—while adhering to CANopen protocol standards (DS301/DS402) for real-time process communication.
The core functionality involves encoding/decoding CANopen signals, handling PDO (Process Data Object) and SDO (Service Data Object) messages, and managing node addressing (up to 127 devices per network). It supports baud rates from 10kbps to 1Mbps (configurable for cable length and noise immunity), with data capacity of 8 bytes per PDO (standard) or 64 bytes (extended). The module includes built-in diagnostics for bus errors (e.g., CRC faults, node timeouts) and device status monitoring, aiding in troubleshooting. It also enables remote parameter adjustment of field devices (e.g., drive setpoints, sensor calibration) via SDO transactions.
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 CiA 301 (CANopen standard)—ensuring interoperability with third-party CANopen 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. CANopen DS301/DS402 support ensures compatibility with ABB drives (e.g., ACS355) and third-party devices (e.g., sensors, actuators), eliminating the need for protocol converters and reducing component count. The 1Mbps maximum baud rate enables fast data transfer for high-speed applications (e.g., motion control), while lower baud rates (10kbps) accommodate long cable runs (up to 5000 meters) in large facilities.
Up to 127 nodes per segment simplifies network topology for medium-to-large systems (e.g., a packaging line with 60 sensors and 40 actuators), minimizing the need for additional gateways 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 node addresses, PDO/SDO mappings, and baud rates 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., node offline alerts, error frame 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 40 CANopen remote I/O stations (monitoring part presence sensors) and 30 ACS355 VFDs (controlling conveyor motors). The 1Mbps baud rate ensures real-time synchronization of conveyor speeds, while diagnostics alert operators to a failed I/O station (node timeout), minimizing line stoppages.
At a material handling facility, it interfaces the PLC with CANopen-enabled barcode scanners and motorized rollers. The 127-node capacity covers all field devices in a single segment, and the -25°C to +55°C operating range suits warehouse control panels. PDO messages transmit roller speed commands, while SDOs adjust scanner sensitivity during lighting changes.
In a woodworking machine center, the module links the PLC to CANopen servo drives (positioning saw blades) and laser sensors (edge detection). Isolation protects against EMI from spindle motors, while configurable PDOs ensure sub-millisecond response for precise cutting paths.
