Product Overview

The ABB CM592-DP (1SAP173200R0001) is a high-performance communication module designed for the AC500 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Functioning as a PROFIBUS-DP Master, this module enables the AC500 CPU to control and exchange data with decentralized I/O, drives, and other slave devices on a PROFIBUS network. It supports both Profibus DPV0 and DPV1 protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial field devices. The module features a standard D-Sub 9-pole female interface for reliable physical layer connectivity. This unit is typically utilized in complex process automation, manufacturing lines, and power distribution systems where high-speed, deterministic data exchange is required between the central controller and peripheral hardware.

Engineering & Installation Guide

Field Wiring and Connection

The CM592-DP utilizes a standard PROFIBUS D-Sub 9 connector. For optimal network performance, use only certified PROFIBUS cable (Type A). Ensure that the bus is terminated at the first and last station on the segment using active termination or a connector with a built-in termination switch set to "ON."

Grounding and EMI Mitigation

To maintain the integrity of the PROFIBUS signal in high-interference environments, the cable shield must be grounded at both ends. The AC500 terminal base provides a grounding path through the DIN rail; verify that the rail is connected to a low-impedance functional earth. Maintain a minimum separation of 100 mm between PROFIBUS data cables and motor power cables or frequency inverter leads.

Configuration and Commissioning

Integration of the CM592-DP requires the ABB Automation Builder software. The module must be inserted into the left-side communication slots of the AC500 CPU terminal base. During configuration, ensure the GSD files for all connected slave devices are correctly imported into the master configuration to prevent I/O mapping errors.

FAQ

Can the CM592-DP be used as a PROFIBUS Slave?

No, the CM592-DP is specifically hardware-optimized to function as a PROFIBUS-DP Master. For slave applications, refer to the CM582-DP or integrated CPU slave ports.

What is the maximum number of slaves supported by this module?

The CM592-DP can theoretically support up to 125 slaves per segment, though the practical limit depends on the AC500 CPU resources and the required cycle time for the application.

Is this module compatible with AC500-XC (Extreme Condition) CPUs?

While the CM592-DP can function with XC CPUs, it does not possess the conformal coating or extended temperature ratings of the XC series. For harsh environments, the CM592-DP-XC variant is recommended.
