Communication Module | CM588-CN-XC 1SAP372800R00 | ABB

Technical Specifications

The CM588-CN-XC 1SAP372800R0001 is a CANopen slave communication module in the AC500-XC series, used to establish a communication connection between the AC500-XC CPU and the CANopen fieldbus network. This module exchanges data with the CPU through 8 kB dual-port memory and uses 2×5-pole spring terminals for physical CAN bus connection, requiring no external power supply. Up to four CM588-CN-XC modules can be installed on each AC500-XC CPU. As an XC version, this module is suitable for outdoor and extreme temperature environments, supporting operation within a temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C. The module is integrated into the AC500-XC automation system to enable data communication between the controller and distributed I/O or other CANopen devices.

Troubleshooting & Comissioning Checklist

Terminal Base: Snap the module firmly into an available slot on the left side of the AC500 CPU terminal base.
Firmware Alignment: Verify the module hardware revision matches the CPU's firmware capabilities.
Shield Grounding: Connect the cable shield to a functional earth ground clamp to suppress EMI.

Field Engineering Considerations

Conformal Coating: The module features specialized protective coatings defending internal circuits against corrosive gases, high salt mist, and condensing humidity.
Vibration Resistance: Enhanced structural resilience enables direct mounting near heavy machinery or high-vibration zones.
Cabinet Planning: Despite compact physical footprint metrics, ensure proper clearance gaps around the terminal base assembly to prevent thermal choking in sealed, non-ventilated cabinets.

Technical FAQ

Q: How is the protocol configured and programmed?
A:Network variables, mapping, and baud rates are handled entirely through ABB Automation Builder, the unified software engineering suite used for the AC500 family.

Q: Which PLC platforms are compatible with this module?
A: It fits directly onto the terminal bases of the ABB AC500 and AC500-XC programmable logic controller series.

Q: Can this module act as a CANopen Master?
A:No. The CM588-CN-XC is strictly configured as a CANopen slave module. If your topology requires a master node to orchestrate the network, you must source a master module, such as the CM589-PNIO variant or standard CM598 variants depending on the targeted protocol.

Q: Do you supply brand-new, original parts or second-hand refurbished items?

A: Our stock consists of Original New items; all products undergo quality inspection to ensure they are fully functional.

Q: What guarantees are included with the shipment?
A: All items in stock are tested by engineers, packed in professional ESD packaging, and shipped via express logistics with a global delivery time of 24–48 hours.

Q: How long does global shipping take?
A: Stock items are typically dispatched within 24 hours. Shipments are sent via DHL or FedEx Express, taking approximately 3–5 days to reach Asia, 4–6 days to Europe and the Middle East, and usually arriving within a week in major industrial regions worldwide.

Q: If the model I need is not listed on the website, can I request a quote?
A: Yes. We hold over 200,000 SKUs of industrial spare parts in stock, and many long-tail models are not listed in full. You can send us an RFQ (Request for Quote) directly, and we will provide wholesale pricing promptly.
