ABB 560CMD11 RTU560 1KGT023400R0001 Communication Module

ABB 560CMD11 RTU560 Communication Module

Part Number: 1KGT023400R0001
Product Type: Communication Unit / Communication Module

The ABB 560CMD11 is a high-performance communication module designed for the RTU560 series, serving as the central processor and communication hub in ABB’s remote terminal unit (RTU) systems. Built on the powerful ARM Cortex A8 (AM3352) processor, the module handles serial and Ethernet-based communications, integrates I/O operations, and interfaces with SCADA/EMS systems, sub-RTUs, IEDs, and local HMIs. This module is engineered for grid automation, substation communication, and other complex industrial control environments.
