ABB CI522-MODTCP Interface Module
Description
The ABB CI522-MODTCP Interface Module is an expandable industrial module belonging to the ABB AC500 Programmable Controller Series. Designed as a Modbus TCP I/O expansion module, it enables seamless communication between compatible drives and various Modbus TCP server devices, including barcode scanners, PLCs, and human-machine interfaces. Specifically, it works with MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 servo inverters with the 58xx firmware series, which feature built-in Modbus TCP client functionality.
Key technical specifications include a three-phase low-voltage power supply with a rated voltage of three-phase AC380, a rated current of 200, and an adaptive motor power of 7.5. It uses voltage vector control with PWM output voltage regulation, and has a voltage-type DC power supply with no built-in filter. A core feature is its expandability: each compatible drive can connect up to 2 CI521 or CI522 modules, and each CI522-MODTCP module supports up to 10 additional S500 I/O expansion modules, which can be plugged directly into the side of the preceding module for quick, tool-free expansion. With a universal application scope, it is suitable for a wide range of industrial automation and control systems.
