The PM590-ETH AC500 Processor Module is a central processing unit designed for ABB’s AC500 distributed automation platform, delivering exceptional performance for mid-range control applications. Equipped with a powerful 32-bit processor, it provides a fast instruction cycle time of just 0.000002 ms, ensuring deterministic real-time control. The module features a comprehensive set of communication interfaces: one Industrial Ethernet port for network integration, two software-configurable RS232/485 serial ports, and a fieldbus plug (FBP) connector for direct connection to remote I/O and drives. With 5 MB of total memory (2 MB for user program and 3 MB for user data), it can handle complex logic and data-intensive tasks. The built-in LCD display offers at-a-glance diagnostics, while the IP20-rated housing protects against dust and accidental contact. Operating from a 24 V DC supply (20.4…28.8 V DC range), the PM590-ETH is suitable for industrial environments with ambient temperatures from 0°C to +60°C. This module is the ideal choice for system integrators seeking a reliable, scalable, and network-ready PLC CPU.
