ABB SNAT603CNT 61007041 Network Interface Module

Product Overview

The ABB SNAT603CNT 61007041 is an advanced Network Interface Module designed for the S800 I/O system, serving as a critical communication gateway within ABB's System 800xA and AC 800M control architecture. This module transcends the traditional role of a simple Profibus DP interface, offering modern, high-speed connectivity options essential for Industry 4.0 and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) applications.

Its primary function is to act as a robust and versatile translator between the AC 800M controller's internal bus and various industrial Ethernet networks. This enables seamless integration not only with ABB's S800 I/O but also with third-party devices, higher-level MES/ERP systems, and remote asset management platforms, future-proofing your automation investment.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Multi-Protocol Support: A key feature of this module is its ability to support several major industrial Ethernet protocols simultaneously or through configuration, including:

  • Profinet IO (Controller/Device): For seamless integration with a vast ecosystem of sensors, drives, and other PLCs, particularly in European markets.

  • EtherNet/IP (Adapter/Scanner): For connecting to devices from vendors like Rockwell Automation, making it ideal for hybrid automation environments common in North America.

  • OPC UA: Provides a standardized, secure, and reliable data exchange protocol for vertical integration with SCADA, MES, and cloud-based applications.

• Enhanced Performance: Features a powerful processor to handle high data throughput and complex communication tasks without impacting the controller's scan time, ensuring deterministic control performance.

• Dual-Port Switch: Includes integrated Ethernet switch ports, allowing for linear network topologies (device-to-device) without the need for external switches, which simplifies cabling and reduces cabinet space.

  • Integrated Web Server: Allows for easy configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring of network status via a standard web browser, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.

• Robust & Secure Design: Built for industrial environments with extended temperature ratings and high immunity to noise. Includes security features to help harden the network against unauthorized access.

• Hot-Swappable: Designed for hot-swapping in redundant configurations, enabling module replacement without a process shutdown, which is critical for high-availability applications.

Primary Applications

The SNAT603CNT module is deployed wherever modern, open network communication is required:

• Hybrid Automation Systems: Integrating ABB AC 800M controllers with third-party devices (e.g., Rockwell drives, Siemens HMIs) on a unified network.

• Data Acquisition & IIoT: Enabling secure OPC UA data publishing for plant-wide monitoring, predictive maintenance, and data analytics platforms.

• Greenfield & Modernization Projects: Upgrading existing systems to Profinet or EtherNet/IP without replacing the entire controller base.

• Process & Discrete Industries: Used in pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, automotive, and water treatment for streamlined communication.

Compatibility & System Integration

The SNAT603CNT is a core component of ABB's modern automation ecosystem:

• Controller: Connects directly to an AC 800M controller (e.g., PM802, PM803, PM804, PM805) via its internal PCI bus.

• I/O System: Manages communication with S800 I/O channels via its internal connection.

• Engineering Tool: Configured and commissioned using ABB's Control Builder software, which provides a unified environment for setting up IP addresses, protocol options, and data mapping.

Why Choose the ABB SNAT603CNT 61007041?

• Future-Proof Connectivity: Support for multiple key protocols ensures interoperability and protects against technological obsolescence.

• Reduced Total Cost of Ownership: Eliminates the need for costly external gateways and protocol converters, simplifying the control architecture.

• Enhanced Data Accessibility: OPC UA support unlocks data for operational intelligence and IIoT initiatives, enabling smarter decision-making.

• Proven ABB Reliability: Built to the same high standards as all ABB components, ensuring reliable operation in critical processes.

FAQs

Q: Can this module run Profinet and EtherNet/IP at the same time?
A: The module is capable of supporting multiple protocols, but specific simultaneous operation depends on the firmware version and configuration. Please consult the technical manual or contact our team for details on your specific application needs.

Q: Is the SNAT603CNT a direct replacement for older CI modules (e.g., CI861, CI871)?
A: It is a more advanced successor, offering Ethernet-based protocols instead of serial-based ones (e.g., Profibus). It is not a drop-in hardware replacement but is the modern solution for Ethernet connectivity. A control system upgrade may be required.

Q: Do you offer new or refurbished units?
A: We provide both new, genuine ABB units and professionally refurbished modules. All refurbished units are rigorously tested, updated to the latest stable firmware, and come with a warranty to ensure they meet original performance specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the part number and the ordering code?
A: SNAT603CNT is the common product name or type designation. 61007041 is the specific ordering code or article number used for purchasing. They refer to the exact same product.
