Greetings,
If you have CM572-DP Master card on ABB PLC side, then you have two possibilities:
1-) For AB side you have to obtain MVI56-PDPS Profibus Slave card, and add that CPU to ABB PLC System as Slave.
2-)For AB side you have to obtain MVI56-PDPMV1 Profibus Master card. At this time you need DP/DP Coupler also. And add DP/DP Coupler to ABB PLC System and AB Control Logix System as Slave.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
Please provide more information. What are the communication ports/protocol of AB controller. As you have a Profibus MAster interface, if AB has Profibus port, it should be only slave which make your task harder
