Product Introduction
The ABB DX522 (1SAP245200R0001) is a compact and highly versatile digital input/output (DIO) module designed for use within the ABB AC500 PLC family. As a mixed I/O module, it provides the flexibility of handling both digital inputs and outputs on a single unit, which helps optimize cabinet space, reduce wiring complexity, and lower hardware costs.
This module supports 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs, all operating at 24 VDC, and is ideal for general-purpose industrial automation tasks. It integrates seamlessly with the S500 I/O system and communicates over the backplane with ABB CPUs such as PM554, PM564, and PM572. The DX522 is suitable for decentralized installations thanks to its DIN rail mountable form factor and robust design for harsh environments.
With built-in diagnostics, status LEDs for each channel, and simple configuration via ABB’s Automation Builder software, the DX522 stands as a reliable and efficient I/O solution for small to medium control applications.
