ABB TB5610-2ETH Dual Ethernet Communication Module – AC500 Series (1SAP111300R0278)
When a communication link fails on the factory floor, the consequences cascade instantly — PLCs lose synchronization, SCADA systems go blind, and production lines halt without warning. In high-availability industrial environments, a single point of communication failure can cost thousands of dollars per minute. The ABB TB5610-2ETH is engineered precisely to eliminate this risk, providing redundant dual Ethernet connectivity that keeps your AC500 control system online and responsive under the most demanding conditions.
Within ABB’s AC500 PLC ecosystem — one of the most widely deployed modular automation platforms in global process and discrete manufacturing — the TB5610-2ETH occupies a critical tier as the primary Ethernet communication backbone. Carrying the ordering number 1SAP111300R0278, this module is recognized across industries from power generation to water treatment as the standard for reliable, high-speed fieldbus integration. Its dual-port architecture supports both daisy-chain and star topologies, making it a versatile cornerstone in modern IIoT-ready control architectures worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the TB5610-2ETH compatible with all AC500 CPU modules?
A: The TB5610-2ETH is designed for the ABB AC500 series. Compatibility depends on the specific CPU firmware version and system configuration. Please consult ABB’s official compatibility matrix or contact our technical team for guidance.
Q: What is the difference between TB5610-2ETH and other AC500 communication modules?
A: The TB5610-2ETH specifically provides dual Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) connectivity, distinguishing it from single-port or fieldbus-only variants. Its dual-port design enables network redundancy not available in single-Ethernet models.
Q: Do you supply new or used modules?
A: Konmask.com supplies both new (factory-sealed) and tested-surplus modules. Condition is clearly stated in each quotation. We do not sell refurbished parts represented as new.
Q: Can you provide an export commercial invoice and packing list?
A: Yes. All international orders include a commercial invoice, packing list, and any other export documentation required by your customs authority.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: There is no minimum order quantity. We supply single units as well as bulk orders for system integrators and OEMs.
