ABB PM573-ETH 1SAP130300R0271

Product Overview

PM573-ETH is a high-performance, integrated Ethernet interface central processing unit (CPU) module in ABB AC 500 series programmable logic controllers. As the core brain of the AC 500 automation system, 1SAP130300R0271 is responsible for executing the control programs written by users, managing I/O data exchange, and handling all internal and external communication tasks.

This module belongs to the PM57x family in the AC 500 series and is positioned for mid-to-high-end applications. The most distinctive feature is that it integrates a 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet port on board, enabling high-speed network connection without occupying additional communication module slots. This makes PM573-ETH an ideal choice for small and medium-sized automation projects that require powerful processing capabilities, rich I/O capacity, and standard Ethernet communication. 1SAP130300R0271 perfectly balances performance, functionality and cost, and is the cornerstone for building modern, interconnected industrial control systems.

Product Functional Features

Powerful processing performance

The sub-microsecond-level Boolean instruction execution speed of PM573-ETH ensures an extremely low scanning cycle even when dealing with complex logic interlocking or high-speed counting/pulse output, meeting the strict real-time requirements.

The 512kB program and data memory space is sufficient to accommodate moderately complex control items, including programs written in various IEC 61131-3 languages such as structured text and functional block diagrams, as well as a large amount of process data and formulas.

Integrated Ethernet with excellent communication scalability

The built-in Ethernet port is its core advantage. 1SAP130300R0271 supports mainstream industrial protocols such as TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP, and is used for

Engineering programming, rapid and efficient online/offline programming and diagnosis through Automation Builder or Control Builder M software.

HMI/SCADA integration, seamless communication with any touchscreen or monitoring system that supports standard protocols.

An optional Web server function is available, allowing for remote monitoring of the PLC status through a standard web browser.

PLC-to-PLC communication enables high-speed data exchange with other AC 500 or third-party PLCS.

The unparalleled expansion capability enables the 1SAP130300R0271 to have an on-board Ethernet while still retaining the expansion capacity of up to four external communication modules. This means that a PM573-ETH site can simultaneously have 1 on-board + 4 extensions = 5 independent communication channels. PM573-ETH can easily build a complex hybrid network integrating Ethernet, PROFIBUS, CANopen and Modbus RTU without the need for additional gateway devices.

Rich I/O processing capabilities

Supports up to 224 digital points and 112 analog points of local/extended I/O, enabling the CPU to directly control or monitor a production line or process unit of considerable scale, reducing the need for remote I/O.

Applicable industry scope

PM573-ETH, with its balanced performance and powerful communication capabilities, is suitable for a wide range of industrial automation fields.

Mechanical manufacturing, complex packaging lines, assembly lines, and test benches.

The food and beverage industry requires precise process control and formula management in processes such as filling, mixing, and sterilization.

Water and sewage treatment, control of pump station groups, dosing systems, and membrane treatment units.

Auxiliary control systems for small hydropower stations, photovoltaic/wind farms, and substation automation in the energy sector.

The BAS main controller for large commercial complexes in building automation.

PM573-ETH 1SAP130300R0271 can be used in any situation that requires a reliable PLC solution with powerful processing capabilities, rich I/O and ready-to-use Ethernet connections.
