ABB AC500 PLCs

The ABB AC500 is a modular PLC platform used for industrial automation and machine control applications. The AC500 family includes different performance levels and can be combined with I/O, communication, safety and motion-control modules.

Common ABB PLC families include:

• AC500
• AC500-eCo
• AC500-XC
• AC500-S safety PLC

ABB’s automation engineering environment, Automation Builder, integrates PLCs with drives, HMI, motion and robotics applications.

ABB AC500 Related Models

Product Family	Example Model / Reference	Application
AC500	PM5xx series	PLC control
AC500-eCo	AC500-eCo controllers	Compact machine automation
AC500-S	Safety PLC	Functional safety
AC500-XC	Extreme-condition PLCs	Harsh industrial environments

When ordering an AC500 PLC, the complete ordering code should be checked against the required CPU, memory, communication interfaces and firmware/hardware version.

ABB S800 I/O Modules

The ABB S800 I/O family provides distributed and modular I/O for process automation and control systems. It can be used with ABB controllers as well as compatible third-party control systems.

S800 I/O modules are available for digital and analog signals, communication and other process-control requirements.

ABB S800 I/O Examples

ABB Model	Module Type	Example Function
DI811	Digital Input	16-channel digital input
CI801	Communication Interface	PROFIBUS DP-V1
CI840A	Communication Interface	PROFIBUS DP-V1 with redundancy
CI854B	Communication Interface	AC 800M communication

For example, ABB’s DI811 is a 16-channel digital input module with inputs arranged into isolated groups.

The CI801 and CI840A are examples of S800 communication interfaces. ABB lists CI801 for PROFIBUS DP-V1 and CI840A for PROFIBUS DP-V1 with redundancy capabilities.

ABB Select I/O

ABB Select I/O is an Ethernet-based distributed I/O system designed for ABB Ability System 800xA automation platforms.

Unlike conventional multi-channel I/O arrangements, Select I/O uses a granular, single-channel approach, allowing individual signals to be configured and connected within the automation architecture.

Examples of Select I/O communication and termination hardware include:

• CI845
• HI880
• TC810
• TC811
• TU865

The exact module and termination-unit combination depends on the system architecture and signal requirements.

ABB AC 800M Controllers

The ABB AC 800M is a modular control platform used in process automation and distributed control applications.

Its communication modules allow controllers to communicate with field devices, I/O systems and third-party equipment. ABB lists interfaces for Ethernet-based communication, serial communication and other automation networks.

Common AC 800M Communication References

Model	Type
CI854A	PROFIBUS communication interface
CI854B	PROFIBUS communication interface
CI871	PROFINET communication interface

ABB documentation identifies CI854A as a PROFIBUS interface used in System 800xA architectures, including communication with S800 and S900 remote I/O.

ABB ACS Industrial Drives

ABB is also widely used for industrial motor control and variable-speed applications through its ACS drive families.

Major ABB drive families include:

• ACS380
• ACS480
• ACS580
• ACS880
• ACH580
• ACQ580

ABB’s documentation identifies ACS380, ACS480, ACS580 and ACS880 among the drives supported with AC500 PLC communication and engineering tools.

ABB ACS880 Drives

The ABB ACS880 is an industrial drive family designed for demanding motor-control applications.

The ACS880 range includes different drive configurations and power ratings, allowing it to be used across applications such as pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, mixers and process machinery.

The ACS880-01 is one of the single-drive product families within the ACS880 range. ABB maintains dedicated manuals and technical documentation for ACS880-01 drives.

ABB Drive Model Examples

ABB Series	Example Model	Product Type
ACS380	ACS380	Machinery drive
ACS480	ACS480	General-purpose drive
ACS580	ACS580	General-purpose industrial drive
ACS880	ACS880-01	Industrial drive
ACH580	ACH580	HVAC drive
ACQ580	ACQ580	Water/wastewater drive

Important: ABB drives are normally ordered using a complete type designation rather than simply the family name. The full ordering code identifies details such as power rating, voltage, enclosure/frame size and installed options.

ABB Drive Communication Modules

ABB drives can also be configured with communication interfaces for integration with PLCs and industrial networks.

Examples include:

• FENA-01
• FENA-11
• FENA-21
• FSCA-01
• RMBA-01

ABB documentation lists FENA-01, FENA-11 and FENA-21 as fieldbus adapter options for ACS drives in AC500 PLC communication applications.

ABB HMI and Control Panels

ABB also provides operator interface products for machine and process visualization.

The CP600 family is associated with ABB’s automation portfolio and can be engineered alongside AC500 PLCs and other ABB automation equipment. ABB’s Automation Builder documentation includes CP600 panels among its supported target systems.

ABB HMI applications can be used for:

• Machine visualization
• Operator controls
• Alarm management
• Process monitoring
• Production data
• Diagnostics
• Industrial equipment control

ABB Automation Products for Industrial Applications

ABB automation equipment can be used across a wide range of industrial applications, including:

Manufacturing

PLC, HMI, I/O and variable-speed drives can be combined for machine and production-line automation.

Process Industries

ABB control systems and distributed I/O are used for process monitoring, instrumentation and control architectures.

Pumps and Water Systems

ABB drives such as the ACQ580 are designed for water and wastewater applications.

HVAC

The ACH580 family is designed for HVAC drive applications.

Conveyors and Material Handling

ABB drives, PLCs, I/O and operator panels can be integrated for conveyor and material-handling systems.

Machine Automation

AC500 PLCs, I/O, HMI and ABB drives can be combined into machine-control architectures.

ABB Models and Part Numbers

When sourcing ABB automation equipment, customers should provide as much information as possible.

Useful identification information includes:

• ABB product family
• Model number
• Type designation
• Ordering code
• Article number
• Serial number
• Hardware version
• Nameplate photograph
• Required quantity
• Application
• Technical specifications

For example, an ABB ACS880 drive should not normally be identified only as an “ACS880.” The complete type designation and ordering information should be checked because different variants can have different power ratings, frames, voltages and options.

Likewise, an S800 I/O module such as DI811 identifies the module family and function, but the complete system configuration may also require the appropriate communication interface, termination unit and accessories.
