ABB PM591 - ETH - OTD Processor Module Product Information

I. Product Description

II. Detailed Parameters

1. Electrical Parameters

• Operating Voltage: It is designed to operate stably on a 24V DC power supply. This voltage level is a common standard in industrial settings, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of power sources and other connected devices. However, the module can tolerate a supply voltage range from 20.4V to 28.8V DC, providing some flexibility in real - world applications where power supply fluctuations may occur.
• Power Consumption: While the exact power consumption figures may vary depending on the load and operating conditions, the module is engineered to be energy - efficient. It consumes power in a range that is optimized for its processing capabilities, contributing to cost - effective operation in industrial plants. Precise power consumption data is typically provided in the product's technical documentation.
• Processor Speed: Equipped with advanced processing technology, the module can execute instructions at a high speed. For instance, it can achieve a shortest cycle time of 0.002 μs per word for basic operations, and 0.004 μs for floating - point arithmetic. This high - speed processing enables it to handle complex control algorithms and real - time data processing tasks with ease, ensuring quick response times in industrial processes.

2. Memory - related Parameters

• Program Memory: The PM591 - ETH - OTD features a generous 4MB of program memory. This substantial memory capacity allows for the storage of extensive control programs, which may include complex logic for industrial automation, such as sequences for manufacturing processes, control algorithms for machinery, or monitoring functions for industrial plants. The large program memory also enables the module to support future expansions and upgrades of the control system without the need for immediate memory upgrades.
• User Data Memory: It has a user data memory in the form of RAM. The size of the user data memory, which is 9728 KB, provides sufficient space for storing real - time data generated during the operation of industrial processes. This data can include sensor readings, status information of devices, and intermediate calculation results, all of which are crucial for the proper functioning and monitoring of the industrial control system.

3. Interface - related Parameters

• Ethernet Interface: The module is equipped with an Ethernet interface, which is a key feature for modern industrial communication. This interface is compatible with Profinet and supports functions such as programming, Modbus TCP, OPC, and web server operations. The Ethernet interface enables high - speed data transfer between the module and other devices in the industrial network, such as sensors, actuators, human - machine interfaces (HMIs), and other PLCs. It also allows for remote monitoring and control of the industrial process, as the module can be accessed over the network, facilitating real - time management and troubleshooting.
• Serial Interfaces: It comes with 2x RS232/485 interfaces. These serial interfaces can be configured to support various functions, including programming, Modbus master/slave communication, and ASCII functions. The RS232/485 interfaces are useful for connecting to devices that use serial communication protocols, such as certain types of sensors, meters, and legacy industrial equipment. They provide a reliable and cost - effective way to integrate different components into the industrial control system.
• FBP Interface: The Fieldbus Processor (FBP) interface is another important feature of the PM591 - ETH - OTD. It enables seamless communication with other devices on the fieldbus network, enhancing the module's connectivity within the industrial automation infrastructure. The FBP interface allows for efficient data exchange between the processor module and distributed I/O modules, further expanding the capabilities of the control system.

4. Physical Parameters

• Dimensions: The module has compact dimensions, with a depth of 62 mm, a height of 76 mm, and a width of 67.5 mm. This compact design makes it easy to fit into control panels and industrial enclosures, even in space - constrained environments. The small footprint of the module also contributes to a more organized and efficient layout of the industrial control system.
• Weight: Weighing only 0.137 kg, the module is lightweight, which is beneficial for installation and handling. The low weight does not compromise its performance or durability, as it is constructed with high - quality materials to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments.
• Degree of Protection: It has an IP20 degree of protection. This level of protection means that the module is protected against solid objects larger than 12 mm, such as fingers, and is suitable for indoor use in normal industrial environments where it is not exposed to excessive dust, water, or other contaminants.

5. Environmental Parameters

• Operating Temperature Range: The PM591 - ETH - OTD is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0°C to +60°C. This wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for use in various industrial settings, from air - conditioned control rooms to manufacturing areas with higher ambient temperatures. The module can maintain its performance integrity even in moderately hot environments, reducing the risk of malfunctions due to temperature variations.
• Storage Temperature Range: When not in use, the module can be stored in a temperature range of - 40°C to +70°C. This extended storage temperature range allows for greater flexibility in handling and storing the module, ensuring that it remains in good working condition even if it is not immediately installed or used.
• Humidity Resistance: The module has a certain level of humidity resistance, which is important for industrial applications where moisture may be present. While specific humidity tolerance levels are detailed in the product manual, it is generally designed to operate effectively in environments with normal levels of humidity, preventing issues such as corrosion and electrical short - circuits that can be caused by excessive moisture.
