ABB AC500-eCo programmable logic controllers plc

ABB’s AC500-eCo is a range of scalable compact PLCs offering cost effectiveness for modern industrial automation applications where small and flexible PLC solutions often represent the ideal solution.

Scalability 

Save money by starting on a small scale – the flexibility of the AC500 platform enables you to scale up as and when needs dictate it.

ABB’s AC500-eCo has been designed to integrate seamlessly into the broader AC500 family, offering you the decisive benefit of having a fully scalable and modular system.

The AC500-eCo allows for individually customized solutions to be created by using S500 and S500-eCo I/O modules for small applications.

The already large amount of onboard I/Os in the AC500-eCo V3 PLCs can be extended using up to three option boards which add either more digital or analog channels or serial interfaces with or without isolation.

Therefore it will be easier to meet customers’ and application-specific requirements, reduce the footprint and save money.

The Automation Builder engineering suite available for the entire AC500 PLC range will save you time with easy configuration, many libraries and function blocks for the most diverse customer-specific requirements.

Easy handling and flexibility

The user program can be downloaded via a memory card without the need for programming tools.

CPUs with integrated I/Os for small to large applications are available.

Motion I/Os allow you to realize simple point-to-point motion on up to 4 axes.

Pre-wiring is possible through the use of pluggable terminal blocks.

The modules can be mounted on the DIN rail with an easy-to-use snap-on mechanism.

The AC500-eCo is approved for customer use by accredited certification organizations around the world. This means the entire range can be deployed safely, reliably and globally.
