ABB TB521-ETH-XC Communication interface module

ABB TB521-ETH-XC Overview

The ABB TB521-ETH-XC is a communication interface module and an accessory for the ABB AC500 series of PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). It provides an Ethernet communication interface for connecting the AC500 system to other devices and networks. The "-XC" designation typically indicates that this module has extended environmental condition adaptability, such as a wider temperature range and higher vibration resistance.

Product Detailed Description

• Function:

• Provides an Ethernet communication interface for the AC500 PLC system.

• Supports various Ethernet protocols, such as TCP/IP, UDP, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, etc. The specific supported protocols depend on the module firmware and configuration.

• Allows the PLC to exchange data and communicate with HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces), SCADA systems, other PLCs, supervisory control systems, and industrial devices that support Ethernet communication.

• The XC version typically has enhanced environmental adaptability for more demanding industrial environments.

• Features:

• One or more Ethernet ports (the exact number depends on the model).

• Supports 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet speeds.

• Integrated Ethernet PHY and MAC controllers.

• Configuration and parameter setting via software.

• The XC version features a wider operating temperature range, higher resistance to vibration and shock, and potentially conformal coating to resist corrosive gases and dust.
