S500

Communication-friendly, uniquely flexible, exceptionally future-compatible – a short, succinct description of ABB’s new, innovative remote I/O system S500. By selecting the appropriate field-bus-plug (FBP), this field-bus-neutral system can be simply connected to the desired field bus. The compact-size bus module already contains 16 digital I/Os, and can be linked up to a maximum of seven expansion modules, enabling it to be upgraded to as many as 240 I/Os. Analog and digital modules can be mixed without any problems.

Compact every way you-look at it
The FBP Bus Module possesses 16-I/Os in a width of only 67.5 mm. The compact construction, plus its overall depth of only 75 mm, means substantial space savings in the control cubicle.

A new dimension of-flexibility
With its versatile flexibility, its extensive diagnostic capabilities and its simple expansion options, the S500 provides its users with a powerful, costefficient configuration, one that can be conveniently customised at need to the particular applications involved..
