ABB cm577-eth:ac500,com.module ethernet
ABB 1SAP173700R0001 CM597-ETH is an AC500 industrial Ethernet communication module with two RJ45 interfaces, an integrated 2-port switch, 10/100 Mbit/s full-duplex communication and support for TCP/IP, UDP/IP and Modbus TCP.
Why Choose the ABB 1SAP173700R0001 CM597-ETH Communication Module?
The ABB 1SAP173700R0001, type designation CM597-ETH, is an industrial Ethernet communication module designed to extend Ethernet functionality across ABB AC500 programmable logic controller systems. It provides a dedicated network interface for connecting compatible AC500 controllers to industrial Ethernet equipment using widely adopted TCP/IP-based communication protocols.
The CM597-ETH provides two RJ45 Ethernet interfaces with an integrated 2-port switch, supporting 10/100 Mbit/s communication in full-duplex operation. It supports Ethernet TCP/IP, UDP/IP and Modbus TCP, allowing AC500 controllers to exchange data with PLCs, supervisory systems, operator interfaces and other compatible Ethernet devices.
Designed as the successor to the earlier ABB CM577-ETH communication module, the CM597-ETH extends Ethernet communications to AC500 CPUs in a compact modular format. Its integrated switch simplifies network cabling and enables convenient connection of multiple Ethernet devices without requiring a separate external switch for simple network arrangements.
