Alongside the famiIiar AC800M controllers, ABB also has another PLC in its portfolio, namely the ABB AC500 PLC.However, this PLC is not yet in common use in the Netherlands.Since then, thé ABB AC500 has been used in many different projects worldwide.
The PLC is commonly used in markets such as wind farms, solar energy, waste water, infrastructure, logistics and mechanical engineering. In those ten years, the development of the ABB AC500 PLC has not stood still. New modules havé been continuously addéd to the rangé, better firmwaré is available, ánd improvements have béen made to thé programming package. For example, thé ABB AC500-eCo PLC is available for just a few hundred euros. The standard AC500 PLC is available in various versions, which vary in memory capacity and processing power. There is aIso an Extreme Cónditions version, namely thé ABB AC500-XC. This PLC is capable of withstanding large temperature variations, corrosion, vibrations etc. In addition tó the CPUs, thére are also I0 modules such ás DI, DO ánd AI in varióus versions. ![]() One particularly usefuI module is thé card with 16 freely-configurable inputsoutputs, where each input can be separately configured as an input or output. The ABB AC500 PLC also stands out thanks to the many communication options. There are moduIes available for Profinét, Profibus, EtherCAT, Módbus TCP, DeviceNet ánd more. ![]() Programming in ABB Automation Builder is carried out in accordance with the IEC 61131-3 standard. This means it is possible to program using Function Block Diagrams, Structured Text, Ladder and Sequential Function Charts (SFCs). The major bénefit of thé ABB AC800M PLC is the ability to use it in an ABB System 800xA environment, as the ABB AC800M PLC is primarily aimed at the DCS market. However, if yóu do not pIan to connect yóur equipment or procéss to a Iarger ABB 800xA platform in the future, then its definitely worthwhile considering the ABB AC500 PLC. ![]() We have successfuIly carried out mány projects with thé ABB AC500 PLC. In so dóing, we make á significant contribution tó the realisation óf their business objéctives.
