Product Details
The ABB AX561 1TNE968902R1301, also cataloged as the AX561 Analog Input/Output Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for analog signal processing and field device control within ABB S500 and AC500-eCo I/O platforms. The module manages 4 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs configured for voltage or current loops using a 1-wire connection scheme. It converts incoming analog field variables into 12-bit digital values while driving proportional control signals to field actuators.

Deterministic I/O Density Scaling and Firmware Flash Compatibility
The AX561 module scales analog I/O density within compact DIN-rail mounting footprints, executing continuous signal updates across the S500 expansion bus. Integrated firmware flash compatibility across AC500-eCo CPU processors ensures automatic parameter assignment during rack initialization. High-velocity backplane communication prevents data transmission latencies, maintaining deterministic execution for 12-bit conversion cycles on both input acquisition and output command channels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What resolution is provided on the analog channels of the AX561 module?
A: Both the 4 analog inputs and the 2 analog outputs feature a 12-bit analog-to-digital / digital-to-analog signal conversion resolution.
Q: Can the AX561 channels be hot-swapped while the CPU is executing logic?
A: No. Power to the CPU terminal base and process voltage supply must be isolated prior to removing or seating the module to avoid bus communication faults and hardware damage.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the AX561 onto the S500/AC500-eCo terminal base unit on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, pushing until the locking latch firmly clicks.
- Verify that all field wiring for voltage (U) or current (I) loops is de-energized before inserting conductors into the pluggable terminal blocks.
- Keep analog signal cables physically separated from high-voltage AC lines and switching inductive loads by a minimum distance of 200 mm.
- Ground all shielded twisted-pair cables at a single point near the panel entry point to eliminate potential ground loop interference across 12-bit resolution channels.
- Confirm that the terminal block screws are torqued to 0.5 Nm to maintain secure mechanical and electrical contact.
