ABB PS5613-EIP-A-e: EIP Adapter license eCo, AC500-eCo V3 Ethernet/IP Adapter onboard, single activation key

Why Choose the ABB PS5613-EIP-A-e AC500-eCo EtherNet/IP Adapter Runtime Licence?

The ABB PS5613-EIP-A-e is an EtherNet/IP adapter runtime licence for ABB AC500-eCo V3 PLCs, enabling compatible processor modules to operate as EtherNet/IP adapter devices using their onboard Ethernet interface. This allows an AC500-eCo controller to exchange application data with EtherNet/IP scanners and other compatible industrial automation equipment without requiring a separate PLC-side EtherNet/IP communication module.

Designed specifically for the AC500-eCo V3 platform, PS5613-EIP-A-e supports compatible PM5032, PM5052, PM5072, PM5082 and PM5092 processors. The PM5012 is excluded. The licence provides a practical solution for integrating compact ABB PLC applications into EtherNet/IP networks used by controllers, supervisory equipment and other industrial devices.

Engineering and licence management are handled through ABB Automation Builder. One runtime licence is required for each CPU using the licensed EtherNet/IP adapter functionality, and ABB allows runtime licences to be transferred between compatible AC500 CPUs when required.

EtherNet/IP Adapter Connectivity for AC500-eCo

EtherNet/IP is an industrial Ethernet communication protocol based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). In an EtherNet/IP architecture, an adapter makes application data available for exchange with a scanner that manages the connection. PS5613-EIP-A-e enables a compatible AC500-eCo V3 PLC to fulfil this adapter role while continuing to execute its machine or process-control application.

Using the PLC's onboard Ethernet connectivity simplifies system architecture by avoiding a separate EtherNet/IP interface module in supported applications. This makes PS5613-EIP-A-e particularly useful for compact machinery and distributed automation equipment that must integrate with an existing EtherNet/IP control network while retaining the flexibility of the ABB AC500-eCo platform.

Typical Applications

• Industrial EtherNet/IP networks.
• Machine automation systems.
• OEM production machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Material handling systems.
• Distributed automation equipment.
• Integration with EtherNet/IP scanner controllers.
• Factory automation networks.
• Compact AC500-eCo control systems.
• Industrial equipment requiring EtherNet/IP adapter connectivity.
