We develop and implement various connectivity options for the control and field level of our AC500 PLCs. This benefits our customers to keep their automation solution adapted to the past, connected to present day and prepared for tomorrow.
- The AC500 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.
Supported communication standards and protocols are:
- Ethernet
- EtherCAT
- PROFINET
- PROFIBUS DP
- CANopen
- Modbus TCP
- Modbus RTU
- RCOM
- Serial
- ABB CS31
