ABB CM579-ETHCAT Communication Module

Description

The ABB CM579-ETHCAT Communication Module (product code 1SAP170902R0101, EAN: 4013614506215) is an EtherCAT master communication module designed for the ABB AC500 series, optimized for high-performance real-time industrial control. As a core component for EtherCAT high-speed bus communication, it features 2xRJ45 interfaces to support centralized expansion of remote modules, enabling fast, reliable data transmission for complex automation systems.

This module supports DIN rail mounting with a unit grounding plate clamp or DIN rail locking device for secure installation in industrial environments. It includes a 24V DC power output (for 120/230V AC power remote devices only), LED status indicators for 8 inputs and 6 outputs to enable visual monitoring of device operation, and an addressing rotary selector for easy configuration. Key technical specifications include a 220V operating voltage, 60kHz output frequency, and it is manufactured in Germany with no custom processing options. Ideal for factory production line upgrades, equipment intelligent transformation, and integrated industrial control system design, it delivers stable, high-speed communication to support real-time control requirements in automation applications.
