Tutto sui PLC: la CPU
A practical engineering guide to PLC CPU operation, from deterministic scan cycles and I/O image tables to memory, communications, diagnostics, redundancy, processor sizing, and reliable system...
The ABB CM588-CN-XC (1SAP372800R0001) is a CANopen Slave communication module designed for the ABB AC500 PLC platform. It enables deterministic fieldbus communication between the AC500 CPU and distributed CANopen devices in industrial automation systems.
This module belongs to the AC500-XC (eXtended Conditions) series, which is engineered for harsh industrial environments. It supports reliable operation under extreme temperature variations, vibration exposure, and high humidity conditions. The XC variant is typically deployed in offshore systems, marine automation, wind power installations, and heavy industrial machinery where standard PLC modules may fail.
The CM588-CN-XC functions strictly as a CANopen slave node, responding to a master controller within a structured CANopen network. It supports real-time cyclic data exchange based on object dictionary communication, ensuring predictable and synchronized system behavior.

The CM588-CN-XC operates as a slave node in a CANopen network controlled by a master device. Communication is based on standardized CAN frames and object dictionary mapping.
Each node is assigned a unique node ID, and communication parameters such as baud rate and transmission cycle are configured through the AC500 engineering environment.
The module supports cyclic process data exchange (PDO) and parameter access via service data objects (SDO), ensuring both real-time control and configuration flexibility in automation systems.
Proper installation is essential to ensure stable CANopen communication.
Use shielded twisted-pair cables compliant with ISO 11898 standard
Install 120Ω termination resistors at both ends of the CAN bus
Keep CAN wiring separated from power cables (minimum 200 mm recommended)
Connect cable shielding to functional earth (FE) for EMC stability
Ensure correct node ID and baud rate configuration before system startup
Incorrect termination or poor shielding may lead to communication errors such as bus-off states or frame loss.
The XC version is designed for harsh environments and includes enhanced protection against vibration and corrosive atmospheres through conformal coating.
To maintain EMC performance:
Ensure proper grounding of the module and cabinet structure
Avoid long parallel routing between power and signal cables
Maintain stable cabinet humidity conditions to prevent condensation
Use IP54 or higher-rated enclosure for outdoor applications
The ABB CM588-CN-XC is widely used in:
Marine automation systems
Offshore oil & gas platforms
Wind turbine control systems
Heavy industrial machinery
Distributed factory automation networks
Infrastructure control systems requiring CANopen communication

Q1: What is the main difference between CM588-CN and CM588-CN-XC?
The XC version is designed for extreme environmental conditions, including wider temperature range and enhanced vibration resistance.
Q2: Is this module a CANopen master?
No, it operates strictly as a CANopen slave node.
Q3: Can it replace the standard CM588-CN directly?
Yes, it is backward compatible, but environmental and system configuration requirements must be verified.
Q4: What happens if CAN bus termination is incorrect?
Improper termination may cause signal reflection, data corruption, or complete communication failure.
