ABB 1SAP140200R0170 Communication Module

This communication module connects ABB AC500 PLCs to PROFIBUS DP networks. It handles high-speed data exchange between the controller and field devices. Therefore, this component suits distributed automation systems with multiple remote stations.

Physical Dimensions and Weight Specifications

The ABB 1SAP140200R0170 features a compact housing for DIN rail mounting. Its width measures 45 mm for standard industrial enclosures. The total depth reaches 100 mm including the connector block. Consequently, technicians can install this unit in tight cabinet spaces.

Interface Types and Connection Layout

The ABB 1SAP140200R0170 provides a 9-pin D-sub connector for the PROFIBUS cable. A 10-pin backplane connector links directly to the AC500 bus. The front panel carries three LED indicators for network status monitoring. Hence, operators can diagnose communication errors at a quick glance.

Component Count and Communication Protocol

This communication module contains one main board with a dedicated protocol chip. The board holds 128 KB of buffer memory for message queuing. You will also find galvanic isolation circuits for the PROFIBUS port. An onboard oscillator generates the communication clock signal.

Energy Storage and Power Consumption

The ABB 1SAP140200R0170 draws 100 mA from the 5V backplane supply. A small electrolytic capacitor maintains buffer memory for 10 milliseconds. This short storage protects message data during brief power dips. The module does not require a backup battery for normal operation.

Network Performance and Diagnostics

The interface processes up to 800 messages per second at 12 Mbps. It supports up to 125 stations on a single network segment. Users can read detailed diagnostic data via the PLC software. This feature reduces troubleshooting time for network faults.
