This communication module connects ABB AC500 PLCs to CANopen 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 1SAP170401R0001 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.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product Model | ABB 1SAP170401R0001 |
| Width | 45 mm |
| Height | 110 mm |
| Depth | 100 mm |
| Weight | 0.11 kg |
Interface Types and Connection Layout
The ABB 1SAP170401R0001 provides a 9-pin D-sub connector for the CANopen 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 64 KB of buffer memory for message queuing. You will also find galvanic isolation circuits for the CAN port. An onboard oscillator generates the communication clock signal.
| Technical Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Fieldbus Protocol | CANopen slave |
| Communication Port | CAN, 9-pin D-sub |
| Baud Rate Range | 10 kbps to 1 Mbps |
| Buffer Memory | 64 KB |
| Isolation Voltage | 1500V AC |
Energy Storage and Power Consumption
The ABB 1SAP170401R0001 draws 80 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 500 messages per second at 1 Mbps. It supports up to 127 stations on a single network segment. Users can read detailed diagnostic data via the PLC software. This feature reduces troubleshooting time for network faults.
