How to Select an Interface Relay for PLC Outputs
A step-by-step guide to matching PLC output type, coil voltage and current, contact rating, and socket style when selecting an interface relay.
The ABB CM5610-2RS-XC (order code 1SAP376000R0020) is an AC500-XC communication module with two serial interfaces, RS232 and RS485, running a selectable protocol at up to 187.5 kbit/s. Weighing 0.093 kg, it adds point-to-point or multidrop serial links to an AC500-XC CPU without occupying an onboard port.
Selectable-protocol RS232/RS485 on two ports makes this module a point-to-point or multidrop serial bridge for third-party serial devices (meters, drives, scanners) when an AC500-XC CPU's own ports are already committed elsewhere, at up to 187.5 kbit/s. It is the module to add when a project runs out of onboard serial ports rather than Ethernet or fieldbus capacity.
