ABB AC500-XC Extreme Conditions PLC System

Product Description

We provide a reliable and powerful platform to design and create scalable, cost-effective and flexible automation solutions. Our platform should be functional and operational - even under rough environmental conditions. Therefore we develop the extreme Conditions versions.

The benefits from the AC500 PLC platform like one Automation Builder engineering suite, I/O modules, 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

The AC500-XC range 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.

AC500-S Safety PLC range - extreme conditions XC modules

• 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.
