Processing Capabilities and Memory Structure
The CPU executes user programs with high speed and deterministic response. The onboard flash memory stores the application program permanently without battery. The ABB 1SAP140100R0160 uses battery-backed RAM for data memory retention. The CPU supports five IEC 61131-3 programming languages for flexibility. You can mix programming languages within a single control program. A green LED indicates proper processor operation and program execution. The CPU performs self-diagnostics at every power-up and continuously during operation.
Communication and Fieldbus Integration
The CPU includes a built-in RS-232/485 port for programming and HMI connections. You can connect this port to ABB CP600 panels or third-party devices. The ABB 1SAP140100R0160 supports Modbus RTU protocol as master or slave. An optional Ethernet module adds TCP/IP and Modbus TCP connectivity. The CPU also serves as a CANopen master for distributed I/O networks. A yellow LED indicates communication activity on the serial port. The module supports firmware updates through the serial connection.
Installation and Operational Guidelines
You must clip this module onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail securely. The module requires a 24V DC power supply for normal operation. The ABB 1SAP140100R0160 draws approximately 150 mA from the 24V supply rail. The lithium battery retains RAM data for up to three years without power. You should replace the battery every five years for reliable operation. The CPU stores no program in RAM when you remove the battery. Therefore, keep the application backup on your programming computer. The operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +60°C.
