NOTICE!
Starting from Automation Builder 1.0.1, there is an additional tab "Data Exchange Configuration" avail-
able for SM560-S Safety CPU to configure cyclic non-safe data exchange functionality. It enables data
exchange between SM560-S Safety CPU and PM5xx Non-Safety CPU for a fast communication
and/or big data amount (up to 2 kBytes for both directions) transfer via DPRAM. In most safety appli-
cations, this functionality is not needed and, thus, shall not be used (default value for "Cyclic non-safe
data exchange" is unselected). However, if you still need it, please refer to ABB technical support and
request document 3ADR025195M*, which describes in details how to use cyclic non-safe data
exchange functionality.
3. To have remote stations in the system, we can instantiate PROFINET IO controller communication
module CM579-PNIO in Slot 2. Note that PROFINET is the only bus which is supported for PROFIsafe
communication in AC500-S Safety PLC.
