Product Description P/N: CM579-PNIO
Description
The ABB CM579-PNIO (1SAP170901R0001) is an advanced PROFINET IO RT (Real-Time) controller communication module engineered for AC500 series Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Operating as a central network interface, it enables fast, deterministic Ethernet-based data exchange between the CPU and remote I/O devices, drives, and field instruments across industrial automation networks. Featuring two RJ45 Industrial Ethernet ports with an integrated 2-port switch and supporting data rates up to 100 Mbit/s (100,000 kbit/s), this lightweight 0.133 kg IP20 module provides reliable, high-speed system integration in distributed control environments.

Information About CM579-PNIO
The CM579-PNIO belongs to ABB’s AC500 Distributed Automation PLC platform and mounts directly onto a standard AC500 terminal base. It supports both PROFINET IO RT controller functionality and PROFIsafe communication protocols for integrated safety and standard control tasks over a single network infrastructure. The dual Ethernet hardware interfaces support line and ring topologies (MRP - Media Redundancy Protocol), ensuring high network availability without requiring external switches. Compatibility covers ABB AC500 PM5xx CPUs, S500 I/O modules, PROFINET-enabled variable frequency drives (VFDs), and third-party PROFINET IO devices. It is widely used in factory automation, process control, material handling, energy management, and machine building.
Key Features:
-
Functionality: PROFINET IO RT controller module for AC500 PLC systems
-
Communication Protocols: Supports PROFINET IO and PROFIsafe protocols
-
Hardware Interfaces: 2 x Industrial Ethernet ports (RJ45 with integrated 2-port switch)
-
Data Transmission Rate: High-speed Ethernet transmission at 100 Mbit/s (100,000 kbit/s)
-
Protection Rating: IP20 enclosure protection for cabinet-mounted installations
-
Product Line: AC500 Distributed Automation PLCs (CM579 Series)
-
Physical Footprint: Ultra-compact modular design weighing only 0.133 kg
The CM579-PNIO ensures low-latency control communications, flexible network topologies, and simplified commissioning for modern industrial Ethernet networks.
