FAQ

Questions Buyers Ask Most

What role does CI512-ETHCAT perform in an AC500 system?+
CI512-ETHCAT is an ABB EtherCAT slave communication interface that exposes its integrated digital channels and compatible S500 expansion to an EtherCAT master. Its configuration is 8 fixed DI, 8 fixed DO and 8 software-configurable digital I/O, and S500 expansion is available only on device index C0 or above.
Can CI512-ETHCAT operate as the EtherCAT master?+
No. CI512-ETHCAT is an EtherCAT slave, so it requires a compatible master and matching ESI/project configuration. ABB documents CM579-ETHCAT as an AC500 master example; CI512 cannot replace that master function or be commissioned as an independent controller.
How are the eight DC channels on CI512-ETHCAT configured?+
The eight DC channels on CI512-ETHCAT are assigned by software as digital inputs or digital outputs. They are additional to the module’s 8 fixed DI and 8 fixed DO, and the terminal assignment, output load, I/O mapping and program logic must agree before the configurable channels are energized.
When can CI512-ETHCAT support ten S500 expansion modules?+
CI512-ETHCAT supports up to 10 connected S500 I/O modules only when its device index is C0 or above. An index below C0 has no S500 expansion capability, and the chosen S500 or S500-eCo modules must also be supported by the EtherCAT master project; S500-S safety I/O is not listed for this interface.
What do the rotary switches on CI512-ETHCAT control?+
ABB reserves the two rotary switches on CI512-ETHCAT for future topology extensions. The EtherCAT device address is determined by line position, so the switches do not set a Modbus IP byte or a PROFINET device name and should not be copied from another protocol’s commissioning procedure.
How does CI512-ETHCAT differ from CI511-ETHCAT?+
CI512-ETHCAT provides 8 DI, 8 DO and 8 configurable digital I/O, whereas CI511-ETHCAT provides 8 DI, 8 DO, 4 AI and 2 AO. Both are EtherCAT slaves with two RJ45 ports, but they use different order numbers, process-data sizes, terminal functions and project mappings, so they are not drop-in substitutes without engineering review.
Which checks are mandatory before replacing CI512-ETHCAT?+
Before replacing CI512-ETHCAT, confirm order number 1SAP221000R0001, device index, EtherCAT master/ESI project, line position, TU507-ETH or TU508-ETH terminal unit, 24 V DC UP/UP3 wiring, configurable-channel assignments and connected S500 sequence. Remove all supply and process voltage before inserting or removing the module.
Is CI512-ETHCAT still an active ABB product?+
ABB’s CI512 data sheet lists CI512-ETHCAT, order number 1SAP221000R0001, in the Active lifecycle phase. That status identifies the current product entity, but availability, hardware index and compatibility with an installed EtherCAT station must still be confirmed for each order.
