ABB PM595-4ETH-F

Overview
The ABB PM595-4ETH-F, part number 1SAP155500R0279, is a top-tier programmable logic controller (PLC) within the ABB AC500-eCo and AC500 platform families. Designed for complex automation tasks, this CPU module combines high-speed processing, extensive memory, and multiple integrated communication ports. It is ideal for machine builders, system integrators, and industrial plants requiring a scalable controller with real-time performance and advanced networking capabilities. The PM595-4ETH-F supports up to 1024 I/O points locally and thousands more via fieldbus networks.

Key Features

• High-performance 32-bit RISC processor (300 MHz)
• 4 independent Ethernet ports (integrated switch function)
• Large memory: 8 MB program memory, 4 MB data memory, 64 kB retentive
• Built-in web server for remote diagnostics and visualization
• Supports IEC 61131-3 programming languages (LD, FBD, ST, IL, SFC, CFC)
• Real-time clock with backup capacitor (30 days typical)
• MicroSD card slot for program backup, firmware update, and data logging
• Dual serial ports (RS-232/485) configurable as Modbus RTU master/slave
• Up to 8 axis motion control (PTO / PWM outputs via onboard or expansion)
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +60°C

Structure & Composition
The PM595-4ETH-F is housed in a rugged, compact plastic enclosure with a hinged front cover protecting the microSD slot, mode selector switch, and status LED array. Internally, the main PCB mounts the RISC processor, SDRAM, Flash memory, and FRAM (for retentive data) on a multilayer board with optimized thermal dissipation. The four Ethernet ports are arranged in a row and share an internal 4-port switch, enabling daisy-chain or ring topologies without external switches. Serial ports (RS-232 on DB9M, RS-485 on removable terminal block) are isolated from the logic side. The bottom side features a male connector for the ABB expansion bus and a female connector for left-side CPU communication modules (e.g., Profibus, CANopen).

Applications

• Complex packaging machinery (horizontal flow wrappers, cartoners)
• Plastics and rubber machinery (injection molding, extruders)
• Material handling systems (sortation conveyors, AS/RS)
• Building automation (HVAC central plants, chiller controls)
• Water treatment plants (filter sequencing, chemical dosing)
• Retrofit projects replacing legacy PLCs (Siemens S7-300, Allen-Bradley SLC 500)
• IoT-ready edge controller roles (data aggregation + cloud uplink)
