ABB YPK117A 61163280 High-Speed Interface Module for Robotic Systems
The YPK117A 61163280 is a high-performance interface module designed by ABB for its IRC5 robot controller platform, enabling seamless communication between servo drives and industrial robots. With 100 Mbps EtherCAT/Profinet connectivity and real-time motion synchronization, this module ensures precise control in automotive assembly, electronics manufacturing, and logistics automation, supporting applications like welding, pick-and-place, and palletizing.
1. Product Overview
The YPK117A 61163280 serves as the digital backbone for ABB’s robotic systems, converting controller commands into servo drive signals with 20 μs cycle time—3x faster than legacy modules. Its dual-port EtherCAT allows daisy-chain networking, reducing cabling complexity by 40%. Built with EMI shielding and -10°C to +55°C temperature tolerance, the module withstands harsh factory environments, ensuring 99.99% uptime in 24/7 operations.

6. Selection Recommendations
Controller Model: Pair with IRC5 Single Cabinet for large-scale systems; use IRC5 Compact for space-constrained applications.
Network Type: Choose EtherCAT for high-speed motion (e.g., welding); opt for Profinet for mixed I/O networks.
Environment: Use YPK117A-EX (IP65-rated) for outdoor or washdown areas (e.g., food processing).
7. Installation & Maintenance Notes
Wiring: Use Cat6a cables for EtherCAT; terminate with M12 connectors for vibration resistance.
Firmware: Update quarterly via ABB’s RobotStudio software to unlock new features (e.g., predictive maintenance).
Safety: Power off the system for 10 minutes post-shutdown to discharge capacitors.
