ABB 500CIM06 Communication card

DESCRIPTION

The Smart Communication Card enables your devices to connect to cloud-based portals. Using the standard OPC UA protocol, the Smart Communication Card provides seamless integration of contactors with the cloud via Novolink. In addition, Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP provide advanced connectivity to your devices. The easy-to-configure Smart Communication Card is designed to bring a piece of the cloud to everyone.

The Smart Communication Card operates on an embedded OPC UA server. These OPC UA servers refer to devices that can be connected to an OPC UA-based network as servers. They provide the simplest, most efficient and cost-effective way to access data when and where it is needed - all without the need for additional PCs and extra configuration and maintenance. Having OPC UA run natively (embedded) on the devices themselves brings many advantages:

• Ease of use: the OPC tags are natively present in the device. The commissioning engineer only has to select the OPC tags that they want to visualize or log. 

• Secure: Since OPC UA communication can be authenticated and encrypted, the installation has the potential to be more difficult for an attacker to compromise. 

• Flexible: OPC UA is more than just a protocol for industrial automation. It incorporates an extensible information model that makes it extremely attractive for many vertical markets.

The Smart Communication Card can be integrated with Novolink devices to make the data available in 3rd-party platforms. The all-new ABB Novolink™ devices help digitalize motor starting solutions and gain insights into the connected loads. They’re easy to design into existing wiring plans and connect to standard AF contactors. Installation is fast and simple, thanks to reduced wiring and fewer components, engineering efforts can thereby be minimized.The Novolink devices enables predictive maintenance to reduce downtime, as well as increasing efficiencies and boosting cost savings. The Smart Communication Card collects thereby the data from the X2X to OPC UA converter and provides it to cloud systems.

In addition, the data from Modbus TCP /RTU supporting devices can also be processed. At present, the smart monitoring relay CM TCN.012, Universal motor controller, UMC100.3, grid feeding relay CM-UFD and Softstarter PSTX are supported. Third party devices can by connected with the creation of a Jason file.
