ABB CI521-MODTCP Interface Module
Description
The ABB CI521-MODTCP Interface Module is a Modbus TCP distributed slave interface module designed for use as a bus interface module with ABB PLCs, enabling connection to a wide range of industrial devices. It is compatible with ABB’s AC500 and 1500 product series, and can interface with equipment such as MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 servo inverters with the 58xx firmware series, which feature Modbus TCP client functionality. Key technical specifications include a three-phase power supply with rated voltage options of three-phase AC380 or 220V low-voltage, and it supports a rated current of 200A. The module uses voltage vector control and PWM control for output voltage regulation, and operates as a voltage-type DC power supply without an integrated filter, with an adapted motor power of 7.5kW. A key feature is its expandability: up to 2 CI521-MODTCP modules can be connected to a single drive, and each module can support up to 10 additional S500 I/O expansion modules, allowing flexible scaling of I/O capabilities for industrial automation setups. Valid order codes for the module include CI521-MODTCP, 3ABD00034195, and 1SAP222100R0001.
