ABB CI504-PNIO PROFINET IO RT Device

Description

The ABB CI504-PNIO PROFINET IO RT Device is a high-performance industrial communication module designed for seamless integration into PROFINET-based automation networks. As a PROFINET IO RT Device, it supports dual simultaneous operation as both a PN IO controller and PN IO device, delivering flexible network adaptation. Key performance specs include a 1 millisecond cycle time and 1440-byte IO data capacity in PN IO device mode, ensuring real-time, high-speed data transfer for time-sensitive applications.

It features advanced PROFINET management functions, including network scanning, and control of device names and IP addresses. The CONFIGURATOR III graphical tool simplifies configuration with intuitive editing, downloading, and network analysis capabilities, reducing setup workload while enabling validation of configured networks via built-in download, analysis, and control checks. A standout feature is PN IO shared device mode, which allows up to 20 PN IO controllers to access allocated IO buffers simultaneously, supporting flexible integration into large, complex PROFINET networks.

The module offers broad software compatibility, with drivers available for all current operating systems, plus a LabVIEW PROFINET VISA driver that enables RT PROFINET IO connectivity for National Instruments LabVIEW systems. Ideal for industrial automation and time-sensitive test applications, it streamlines network management and real-time data exchange for reliable, efficient system operation.
