ABB 500CIM05 1MRB150077R1B

It is a communication interface module, mainly used as a field control module for ABB 800xA distributed control system (DCS)

Product Overview

• Product Name: CIM Interface Module

• Brand: ABB

• Main Series: ACS 800 Multi-Drive Series

• Core Function: To act as a communication bridge between the drive unit and a higher-level control system (e.g., PLC, DCS) or fieldbus (e.g., Profibus-DP).

Detailed Product Description

1. Basic Function & Purpose

The core function of the 500CIM05 module is to enable PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus communication. It allows ABB drive devices (such as frequency converters) to be seamlessly integrated into automation networks using the PROFIBUS protocol.

• Protocol Conversion: It converts the drive’s internal parameters and data, via an internal communication mechanism, and maps them into standard PROFIBUS-DP protocol telegrams.

• Bidirectional Communication:

  • Control Signals (Downstream): Receives commands from the master (e.g., a PLC), such as Start/Stop, Speed Reference, and Fault Reset.

  • Status Signals (Upstream): Sends the drive’s real-time status to the master, such as Run Status, Actual Output Speed, Current, and Fault Codes.

2. Application Scenarios

This module is primarily used in automated systems requiring centralized control and monitoring, for example:

• Control of multiple motor drives on a production line

• Material handling systems

• Hoisting equipment

• HVAC systems

• Any application employing a PROFIBUS-DP network that includes ABB ACS800 series drives.

3. Physical & Electrical Characteristics

• Mounting: The module is designed to plug directly into a slot on an ABB ACS800 drive unit. It is typically installed on the front or side of the drive unit as an optional accessory.

• Bus Connection: The module provides a standard PROFIBUS-DP interface (usually a 9-pin D-Sub connector) for connecting to the bus network.

• Indicators: The module typically features LED indicators to display power, bus status, data transmission, etc., facilitating on-site debugging and fault diagnosis.

4. Model Code Interpretation

• 500CIM05: This is the base model number, indicating it is a PROFIBUS-DP interface module for the ACS800 series.

• 1MRB150077R1B: This is the complete order code, which includes version, revision, and other specific information, ensuring the user orders the correct product of a specific version.
