ABB PM595-4ETH-F – High‑performance AC500 CPU with quad Ethernet for fast, connected control

The ABB PM595-4ETH-F sits at the top of the AC500 family, designed for demanding machine and process applications where deterministic control, network flexibility, and long service life matter. One thing I appreciate is the integrated 4‑port Ethernet switch—it’s handy when you need to separate HMI/SCADA traffic from I/O networks or add vision, drives, and safety gateways without extra switches. From my experience, this model is a solid fit for high‑speed packaging lines, modular conveyor systems, water and wastewater plants, and brownfield upgrades that need more Ethernet ports without expanding the control cabinet footprint.

Key Features

• Quad 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (RJ45) on the CPU – Integrates a small managed-like switch for easy machine segmentation and device expansion, typically reducing the need for external switches.
• Open protocol flexibility – Modbus TCP is commonly used out of the box; PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and other fieldbuses can be added via ABB communication modules for multi-vendor environments.
• High-performance AC500 platform – Suited for complex motion, high I/O counts, and fast cyclic tasks that mid-range PLCs often struggle with.
• Scalable I/O system – No onboard I/O; pair with S500 I/O slices to match your exact signal mix and keep cabinets compact.
• Engineering with Automation Builder (CODESYS‑based) – Speeds up commissioning with reusable libraries, online diagnostics, and structured project handling.
• Industrial hardening – 24 VDC supply and a wide operating temperature range that, in most cases, covers typical shop-floor conditions.

• PM591-ETH – Performance CPU for medium-size systems; typically lower memory and cycle performance than PM595.
• PM583-ETH – Compact, cost-focused CPU for standard machines with moderate I/O and cycle requirements.
• CM592-DP – PROFIBUS DP communication module for legacy drives, remote I/O, and gateway connectivity.
• CM579-PNIO – PROFINET IO controller/device module to integrate drives, I/O islands, and safety PLCs on PROFINET networks.
• CP600 HMI Panels – Operator panels (7–15 inch range) that pair neatly with AC500 for unified engineering and diagnostics.
• S500 I/O modules – Digital/analog slices to tailor signal counts; choose only what each machine section needs.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & mounting – Mount on DIN rail in an IP20 enclosure. Allow ventilation above/below the CPU; avoid heat sources. In many cases, 45–60 mm free space is sufficient for airflow.
• Power & grounding – Supply clean 24 VDC with proper buffering or UPS for ride-through. Bond the cabinet to PE; use star grounding for shields to reduce noise.
• Networking – Use industrial Cat5e/Cat6 with shielded RJ45. Segment traffic (HMI, drives, cameras) across the four ports to keep scan times stable. You might notice simpler troubleshooting thanks to the built-in switch.
• Wiring & I/O – Route low-voltage signals away from VFD cables. For S500 I/O, keep consistent 0V references and label each slice—seems basic, but it saves hours later.
• Firmware & backups – Keep firmware aligned with your Automation Builder version. Schedule routine backups of the PLC application and data to SD/engineering laptop.
• Routine care – Quarterly: check terminal tightness, clean dust with dry air, verify cabinet fans/filters, and review diagnostics logs for early warnings.
• ESD & safety – Power down and discharge before module changes. Observe ESD handling when swapping I/O slices or communication modules.
