ABB PM573-ETH (1SAP130300R0271) – Ethernet CPU for AC500 PLC Systems

• Warranty: 365 days

• Delivery: 1 week for in-stock; no more than one month at the latest

• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery

• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

• Pre-shipment checks: visual inspection and powering test on request

• Onboard 10/100 Ethernet (RJ45) – Typically used for programming, HMI/SCADA access, and Modbus TCP communications; quick to diagnose with built-in diagnostics.

• Multi-port serial communications – RS-232/RS-485 ports for Modbus RTU/ASCII and legacy devices; useful in brownfield upgrades.

• Integrated CAN interface – CAN 2.0B for CANopen networks, which seems to be the preferred choice for many motion and drive add-ons.

• Modular AC500 platform – Expand with S500 I/O and communication modules on the right side; standard 24 V DC system power on the left.

• Industrial temperature range – Designed for typical cabinet environments in harsh plants, especially when paired with proper ventilation.

• Robust diagnostics – Status LEDs and software diagnostics reduce downtime during start-up and service calls.

• Engineering in Automation Builder – IEC 61131-3 programming with ABB Control Builder, easing reuse of existing libraries and standards.

The PM573-ETH works well in compact to mid-size systems where Ethernet connectivity and multiple serial links are needed side‑by‑side. In many cases it’s chosen to modernize existing panels while keeping legacy devices online.

• Machinery and OEM skids: packaging, woodworking, textile, and metal forming lines

• Water & wastewater: pump stations, filter skids, and small treatment units

• HVAC & utilities: energy centers, AHU control, and boiler sequences

• Material handling: conveyors, sorters, and small AS/RS cells

• Process islands: dosing, batching, and CIP skids that rely on Modbus and CANopen

• Reliability – Stable CPU behavior and clear diagnostics reduce commissioning time and service calls.

• Compatibility – Works with ABB S500 I/O and common protocols like Modbus TCP/RTU and CANopen, easing retrofit projects.

• Cost efficiency – Onboard Ethernet and serial ports often eliminate extra comm modules, saving slots and budget.

• Lifecycle support – ABB’s AC500 platform has long-term availability and firmware support, which usually simplifies spares management.

• Serviceability – Front-access connectors and standard DIN-rail mounting speed up panel work.

• Cabinet & mounting – Install on a 35 mm DIN-rail inside an IP-rated enclosure. Leave adequate clearance for ventilation and cabling. End clamps recommended.

• Power & grounding – Feed 24 V DC via the AC500 system power supply. Use clean DC and proper panel grounding to limit noise on serial/CAN lines.

• Network wiring – Use industrial-grade Cat5e/6 for Ethernet; shielded twisted pair for RS‑485 and CAN with correct termination and biasing.

• Environment – Keep within the specified operating temperature. Avoid condensation; add cabinet heating or cooling where necessary.

• Routine checks – Periodically inspect connectors, clean dust, and review diagnostic/alarm logs. Schedule firmware updates during planned downtime.

• Safety – De-energize before wiring, respect EMC separation for signal and power, and follow lockout/tagout on live systems.

• Conformity: CE (EN 61131‑2), RoHS compliant; typically cULus listed

• Manufacturer quality system: ISO 9001

• Warranty: 12 months (365 days) from shipment
