The ABB 3ABD00059318 is a communication module for the PLC-AC500 platform (CM5640-2ETH-XC). It handles TCP/IP, UDP, and Modbus TCP protocols, giving it a place on the BOM for lines that need Ethernet-based controller connectivity. Enclosure is IP20, so it mounts inside a cabinet — no wet-area derating.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Product status is Active. No last-time-buy or phase-out date is issued, so it can be used in new builds and supply is quoted to order against an RFQ.
Integration notes
IP20 rating suits clean, dry cabinets; no forced-air cooling required at ambient temperatures. Protocols TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus TCP cover Ethernet connectivity needs.
