Selected PLC: AC500-XC

Manufacturer: ABB

This PLC model has scalability and flexibility, high performance communication, libraries and web
services are combined with resistance to

 High humidity
 Salt mist
 Vibration
 High altitude
 Hazardous gases
 Temperature: from -40 to + 70 °C.

It replaces expensive cabinets by its built-in protection against dirt, water, gases and dust. Many
traditional practices such as HVAC for the panel, shock absorbers, door sealing etc. are not
required.
The benefits of this PLC are;

 Applicable for harsh environmental applications like crane, hoist, winch, robots, wind
(offshore and onshore), solar etc.
 Physical dimensions, basic electrical characteristics and software compatibility correspond
with the standard AC500-S version.
 Engineering and operations are much more cost-efficient since spending money on special
cabinets and cabling practices can be avoided.
CPU

Dynamic and adjustable interaction

 Real time capabilities and high data transmission speed are just some of the demands for a
control system.
 Has a wide range of fast processing extreme Conditions CPUs with appropriate main board,
memory, performance and networking capabilities.

Networking

 AC500-XC CPU has a variety of communication possibilities, on board 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.

Applications

The AC500-XC CPU can be used in harsh environments like:

 Operating temperature -40ºC to +70ºC.


 Extended immunity to vibration
 Extended immunity to hazardous gases
 Extended immunity to salt mist
 High altitudes, operational up to 4000m above Sea Level
 Extended EMC requirements
 Shock resistance
Communication modules

 The AC500-XC combines up to four CPU-integrated communication interfaces with


additional (up to) four slots for communication modules.

 These communication modules provide a variety of communication possibilities to the


control and field level and can be integrated into various combinations, forming great
network nodes from smallest to largest automation solutions.

Communication interface modules

 We offer a wide range of connectivity options for remote I/Os in our AC500-XC PLC range
to keep your automation solution adapted to the past, connected to present day and prepared
for tomorrow.
 Our communication interface modules for distributed periphery provide a variety of
connectivity which can be integrated into various combinations, forming great network
nodes from smallest to largest automation solutions.

I/O modules

Multifunctional and software configurable I/O modules and numerous basic I/O modules with
different channels, signal voltage and fieldbus connections are provided.

User can choose and combine your needed type of connection:

 Central, using local I/O bus of CPU module.


 Up to ten I/O modules can be connected to the CPU.
 Decentralized periphery via fieldbus between CPU module and remote I/O modules.
 For each fieldbus slave, up to ten I/O modules can be connected.
 Multifunctional approach: some modules cover a broad range of requirements, e.g. AI531
with 8 types of different signals in one module.

Accessories

Accessories for extreme Conditions variants of the AC500 platform with extended operating
temperature, immunity to vibration and hazardous gases, use at high altitudes and in humid
conditions.
