ABB AC500 and AC500

AC500

With the AC500 PLC range we provide a reliable and powerful platform to design and create scalable, cost-effective and flexible automation solutions.

Scalable

The scalability of the AC500 PLCs is achieved by offering a large variety of devices to design and implement configurations suitable for simple control tasks or complex automation solutions.
The AC500 PLC provides action flexibility with one integrated software.

Cost-effective

The AC500 PLC range consists of various CPUs, I/O modules, communication modules, communication interface modules and accessories.
The “all modules used on any CPUs concept” in combination with our life cycle policy helps our customers to react quickly, flexibly and economically on new requirements.

Flexible

Our AC500 is designed to offer the needed easiness, security and reliability to expand the automation system to new challenges.
The memory, performance and the networking capabilities mean more functionality, advanced visualization, more operating comfort – for even better individual customer solutions.

We build our AC500 CPUs to offer the needed easiness, security and reliability to adapt the automation solution to new coming up challenges.

Dynamic and adjustable interaction

We design a broad range of fast processing CPUs with appropriate memory, performance and networking capabilities.
The use of one integrated software in the entire AC500 PLC range provides the easiness to fulfil new demands.

Networking

Our AC500 CPUs have a variety of communication possibilities, onboard and with expansion modules, which can be integrated into various combinations, forming great network nodes from smallest to largest automation solutions.
These capabilities connect your automation solution to the past, keep it up to date and lead it into tomorrow.
If you need reports, signals and messages anytime anywhere then use our built in web server (free of charge).

Applications

The AC500 can be used in many different applications, for example wind mills, solar trackers, high-volume circuit breaker production, large vessels, tunnel automation, traffic control, packaging, printing machines and robotics.
Choose the AC500 platform and you can participate in our know-how on different applications and our software libraries (e.g. motion control, water, solar, drives).
