The CPU EC581 is the central unit for the control system EC500. It must be mounted on a Terminal
Base with an integrated BNC connector for ARCNET. The coupler slots on the left side of the CPU
remain unused. At the right side of the CPU, up to 7 I/O expansion modules can be attached. The CPU
has several interfaces.

Short description
Each CPU can be used as

• bus master within the control system EC500 together with the CS31 fieldbus
• station in an ARCNET network
• stand-alone CPU

The CPUs are powered with 24 V DC.

Caution: Removal of energized modules is not permitted. All power sources (supply and process
voltages) must be switched off while working on any AC500 system.

I/O-Bus
The I/O-Bus is the I/O data bus for the S500 expansion modules. Through this bus, I/O and diagnosis
data are transferred between the EC500 CPU and the I/O expansion modules. Up to 7 I/O Terminal
Units (for 1 I/O expansion module each) can be added to one Terminal Base. The I/O Terminal Units
have a bus input at the left side and a bus output at the right side. Thus the length of the I/O-Bus
increases with the number of the I/O expansion modules used.

Power supply
The supply voltage of 24 V DC is connected to a 5-pole removable terminal block. ZP and UP exist
twice. So it is possible to supply external sensors from these terminals, for instance.

Important: Exceeding the maximum power supply voltage (>30 V DC) for process or supply
voltages could lead to unrecoverable damage of the system. The system could be destroyed.

Bad wiring on power supply terminals

Attention: The product should be installed by trained people who have the knowledge of wiring
electronic devices. In case of bad wiring, although the modules are protected against various errors
(reverse polarity, short circuit, etc.), some problems could always happen:

- On the CPU Terminal Base, the terminals L+ and M are doubled. If the power supply is badly
connected, a short circuit could happen and lead to a destruction of the power supply or its fuse. If no
suitable fuse exists, the Terminal Base itself could be destroyed.

- The CPUs (Terminal Bases) and all electronic modules (and Terminal Units) are protected against
reverse polarity.

- All necessary measures should be carried out to avoid damages to modules and wiring. Notice the
wiring plans and connection examples.

Serial interface COM1 (for terminal assignment see the figure above)
The serial interface COM1 is connected to a removable 9-pole terminal block. It is configurable for RS-
232 and RS-485 and can be used for

• a CS31 system bus (RS-485), as master only

A detailed description for COM1 can be found under "Hardware AC500 / System data / System data and

Insertion / replacement of the Lithium battery TA521

EC500 CPUs are supplied without a Lithium battery. It therefore must be ordered separately. The TA521
Lithium Battery is used to save RAM contents of EC500 CPUs and back-up the real-time clock. Although
the CPUs can work without a battery, its use is still recommended in order to avoid process data being
lost.

Figure: Insertion / replacement of the Lithium battery

Insertion of the battery:

1. Open the battery compartment by inserting a fingernail in the small locking mechanism, press it
down and slip down the door. The door is attached to the front face of the CPU and cannot be
removed.

2. Remove the TA521 battery from its package and hold it by the small cable.

3. Insert the battery connector into the small connector port of the compartment. The connector is
keyed to find the correct polarity (red = plus-pole = above).

4. Insert first the cable and then the battery into the compartment, push it until it reaches the
bottom of the compartment.

5. Arrange the cable in order not to inhibit the door to close.

6. Pull-up the door and press until the locking mechanism snaps.

Note: In order to prevent data losses or problems, the battery should be replaced after 3 years of
utilisation or at least as soon as possible after receiving the "Low battery warning" indication.
Do not use a battery older than 3 years for replacement, do not keep batteries too long in stock.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
V2 EC500 Hardware 3-9 CPUs EC500 / Issued: 05.2008
 Replacement of the battery:

Attention: In order to avoid any data losses (if needed), the battery replacement should be done
with the system under power. Without battery and power supply there is no data buffering possible.

1. Open the battery compartment by inserting a fingernail in the small locking mechanism, press it
down and slip down the door. The door is attached to the front face of the CPU and cannot be
removed.

2. Remove the old TA521 battery from the battery compartment by pulling it by the small cable.
Remove then the small connector from the socket, do this best by lifting it out with a screwdriver
(see photo).

3. Follow the previous instructions to insert a new battery.

Attention: Lithium batteries must not be re-charged, not be disassembled and not be disposed of
in fire. They must be stored in a dry place. Exhausted batteries must be recycled to respect the
environment.

The technical data sheet for the Lithium battery can be found in the chapter "Accessories / Lithium
Battery TA521".

Insertion of the SD Memory Card MC502

EC500 CPUs are supplied without an SD Memory Card. It therefore must be ordered separately. The SD
Memory Card is used to back-up user data and store user programs as well as to update the internal
CPU firmware. EC500 CPUs can be operated with and without SD Memory Cards.

The CPU uses a standard file system. This allows standard card readers to read the MC502 SD Memory
Cards.

Attention: The use of memory cards other than the MC502 SD Memory Card is prohibited. ABB
is not responsible nor liable for consequences resulting from the use of unapproved memory cards.

Attention: In operation, the plugged-in SD Memory Card withstands vibrations up to 1 g. Without

using an SD Memory Card, the CPU itself withstands vibrations up to 4 g.

To insert the SD Memory Card, follow the procedure shown below.

1. Remove the SD Memory Card from its package.

2. Insert the memory card into the opening of the front face of the CPU with the memory aligned as
shown above (contacts are visible on the left side, bevelled edge below).

3. Push on the card until it moves forward, then release your pressure, the SD card comes slightly
backward and it locks into the card slot.

Removing the SD Memory Card

To remove the card, first push on the card until it moves forward (that unlocks the card), then release
your pressure, the card will go forward out of the slot and can be easily removed.

The technical data sheet for the SD Memory Card can be found in the chapter "Accessories / SD
Memory Card MC502".

Project planning / start-up

Programming is carried out using the terminal mode commands as described in the documentation
"Operating and test functions", or with the programming software 907 PC 331 or with the programming
software "Connect" (no ABB product).

A fast Online Program Modification of the user program is possible without interrupting the running
operation.

If data areas should be saved during power OFF/ON, they can be stored in the Flash EPROM. The
installed Lithium battery saves data in the RAM.

Behaviour of the system in case of power supply interruptions and power
recovering

AC500 system supply (terminals L+, M)

As soon as the CPU power supply is higher than 19.2 V DC, the power supply detection is activated and
the CPU is started. When during operation the power supply is going down to lower than 19.2 V DC for
more than 10 ms, the CPU is switched to safety mode (see System Technology of the CPUs).

A warm restart of the CPU only occurs by switching the power supply off and on again (see also

How an error message is built-up in the display
An error always consists of an Error Class (E1 to E4, see the previous table) and a number (0 to 63)
which indicates the identifier of the error for direct error recognition. Moreover, there are further four
detailed error codes from d1 to d4 which define the error in detail.

Allocation for a S500 error on the CS31 bus:

E1...E4 = Error identifier e.g. wrong value, checksum error, short-circuit, exhausted or
missing battery, etc. which is directly displayed in the LCD
-> d1 = 000...015 e.g. module type
d2 = 000...255 e.g. slot of the module
d3 = 000...030 e.g. defines the channel within the module
d4 = 000...031 e.g. module address

Example for an error display "Cut wire at analog modules"
