ABB CM572-DP Communication Module

Description

The ABB CM572-DP Communication Module is a PROFIBUS-DP dedicated communication module designed for industrial automation applications. It supports the PROFIBUS DP communication protocol, enabling seamless data exchange with a wide range of industrial devices such as remote I/O, drives, and motor control units. Equipped with an RS485 interface featuring a 9-pin Sub-D connector, it ensures reliable connectivity in harsh industrial environments. The module offers a maximum transmission rate of 12 Mbit/s, optimizing real-time data transfer for time-sensitive automation tasks.

Powered via the CPU backplane, it eliminates the need for separate power wiring, simplifying installation and integration with compatible control systems. As a CPU expansion module, it integrates smoothly with ABB PLCs and supports integration into larger industrial control architectures like System 800xA, including redundant connection setups for enhanced availability. Built with high-quality materials and robust manufacturing processes, the CM572-DP delivers stable, long-term performance in demanding industrial settings, making it a versatile solution for connecting and coordinating devices across automated production lines and process control systems.
