Product Introduction
The ABB CM592-DP (1SAP173200R0001) is a PROFIBUS DP communication module developed for the AC500 series of PLC systems. It is specifically designed to enable master-slave communication between ABB’s central processing units (CPUs) and PROFIBUS-compatible field devices. Acting as a gateway between ABB controllers and third-party automation devices, the CM592-DP offers robust integration in industrial networks requiring high-speed, deterministic data exchange. Its compact form factor, DIN rail mounting capability, and flexible configuration options make it ideal for space-saving and scalable control cabinet applications.
The module supports PROFIBUS DP-V0 and DP-V1 protocols, allowing cyclic and acyclic communication with slave devices. As part of ABB’s automation ecosystem, the CM592-DP ensures consistent interoperability, efficient diagnostics, and straightforward commissioning using tools like PS501 Control Builder and Automation Builder.
