Product Overview

The PM564-RP-ETH-AC (Part Number 1SAP121100R0071) is a high-performance, compact Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) from ABB’s versatile AC500 family. Specifically designed for decentralized automation and small-to-medium control tasks, this "All-in-One" CPU module integrates a powerful PowerPC-based processor with a flexible array of onboard I/O. It features built-in Industrial Ethernet for seamless networking and an AC-wide-range power supply (100–240 V AC), making it ideal for global infrastructure projects. With its rapid processing time and integrated relay outputs, the PM564 provides a robust, cost-effective solution for machine builders and process engineers requiring local intelligence in a space-saving 82mm footprint.

Advanced Connectivity and Real-Time Control

The PM564-RP-ETH-AC is a powerhouse for "Edge Automation." Unlike basic micro-PLCs, the inclusion of an Industrial Ethernet port allows this unit to act as a Modbus TCP server/client or communicate via Ethernet/IP, enabling remote diagnostics and SCADA integration without additional hardware. The integrated RS-485 port provides a secondary path for Modbus RTU or CS31 bus communication. Its high-speed 80 ns processing time ensures that even complex logic and arithmetic operations are executed with deterministic precision, which is critical for packaging machinery, pump stations, and HVAC control systems.
