ABB CM582-DP Communication Module

Description

ABB CM582-DP Communication Module is a specialized communication expansion module exclusively designed for the ABB AC 500 PLC series to extend communication capabilities. It draws power directly via the backplane bus, eliminating the need for an external power supply, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity. Built for industrial environments, the module has a working temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, a storage temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius, and an IP20 protection rating, making it suitable for installation inside electrical cabinets. Its compact design allows it to fit seamlessly into the expansion slots of ABB AC 500 PLCs, optimizing space usage in control panels. Key applications include industrial automation systems, where it enables communication between the host PLC and various devices such as HMIs, sensors, and frequency converters. It also supports data collection from field devices via the Modbus RTU protocol, and enhances the PLC’s communication capacity to enable the implementation of more complex, integrated control systems.
