Description
🔹 Product Introduction
The ABB 560CMU80R1 with part number 1KGT008800R0001 is a communication unit for the ABB RTU560 remote terminal system. It provides the central communication functions between the RTU560 system, serial communication devices, and connected field equipment. ABB documentation identifies the 560CMU80 as a 6HE Euro-card format module occupying two slots, with RS232/RS485 serial interfaces and a removable CompactFlash interface.
The R0001 version is the non-Ethernet configuration; ABB documentation distinguishes it from 560CMU80R0002, which adds a 10BaseT Ethernet interface. This makes the exact suffix important when replacing an existing RTU560 communication unit.
