The ideal choice to implement and manage complex safety solutions. ABB's AC500 PLC is a proven technology for industries, infrastructure and machine builders, enabling advanced solutions in customer target applications. Easy to integrate and with a long life cycle, our automation devices help our customers, partners and equipment manufacturers improve productivity, reliability, safety and secure cloud connectivity.
Features- Certified for SIL3 (IEC 61508, IEC 62061, IEC 61511) and PL e (ISO 13849-1) safety applications.
- Both PROFIsafe F-Host and F-Device functions over PROFINET are supported including the connectivity to more than one F-Host.
- Ideal choice for both simple and complex functional safety applications like material handling (cranes, hoists, mobile platforms, distribution centers, harbors, airports, etc.), robotics, wind turbines and many more.
- Separate safety CPU offers the benefit of safety functions which remain active even when the non-safety control is inactive.
- Able to handle floating point data type resulting in highly accurate calculations for controlling speed, position, etc.
- Comes with a full range of trigonometric functions often used in precise measurements involved in crane applications.
- Offers greater flexibility and simplicity due to programming in Structured Text (ST) as well as Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Ladder Diagram (LD).
- The configuration and programming is done using Automation Builder with a safety-certified editor.
- TÜV certified Safety Code Analysis (SCA) tool opens the door to writing well-structured and easily understandable code which dramatically saves your time and money on solution certification efforts.
