3 Communications and data exchange is achieved in the AC500-eCo via an integrated COM1 interface, which can be easily configured as a Modbus master/slave or CS31 master. Ports for COM2 and an SD card are also available as an option. 6 different types of AC500-eCo CPU modules available. In small industrial applications and mechanical engineering, small PLC solutions are often used in standalone operation. These solutions control drives and functional sequences and ensure that the required efficiency is attained. The benefits that make the AC500-eCo so extremely economical, flexible and user-friendly: Great flexibility thanks to modular structure Flexible wiring on the I/O modules: screw or spring terminals Ideal for compact applications Integration into the scalable AC500 concept ABB's new AC500-eCo PLC range now offers you a small-scale control system that can be ideally adapted to meet your specific needs. Thanks to scalability and a modular platform concept, you can optimally configure the control system to suite your specific Standardized configuration software Easy means of data exchange via integrated COM1, and optional COM 2 ports Configurable onboard-i/os on all CPUs Attractive value for money needs. 14 different types of S500-eCo I/O modules available. 3

4 The concept behind the AC500 automation platform has already proven to be a prime example of flexible, future-oriented automation. A clear system structure, DIN rails or fixed using screws. System configuration is carried out using the integrated system software (PS501 Control Builder). clear interfaces and a standardized programming environment allow quick and easy assembly and configuration. The AC500 has a unique architecture which allows either CPUs and / or I/O modules to be upgraded to more powerful components as per application The new, compact AC500-eCo offers an introduction requirements. to the AC500 PLC range as an affordable solution for small applications. The CPUs have integrated I/Os and can be configured to accommodate up to seven S500 I/O expansion modules. Motto - Tailored for your own performance requirements. AC500-eCo CPU and up to seven S500 I/O modules. The system functionality can be enhanced by simply selecting a more powerful CPU and/or additional I/O modules. All modules can be simply mounted on AC500 CPU and up to ten S500 I/O modules. 4

5 AC500 Programming and diagnostic tool PS501 Control Builder PS501 Control Builder is the engineering tool for all CPU performance classes of the AC500, designed for standardized IEC programming in six different languages. Other features of this tool are: Configuration of the overall system including field buses and interfaces, extensive diagnostic functions, alarm handling, integrated visualization and open software interfaces.the Programming Tool PS501 also allows you to select between different languages such as English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian and Chinese.

6 With various markets and a wide range of applications, the AC500-eCo has become a must for everyone. It meets all the requirements that a control unit for small applications should meet: small and compact design, possibility of modular expansion, low cost and easy-to-use engineering, service and logistics. As a result, it has a large range of uses. The AC500-eCo is ideally suited to applications in the textiles and food industries, in building, warehouse and transportation automation, and in energy and envrionmental technology. On the winning side: Textile machines Elevators Food production Modern solar panels Building automation Power Water treatment Air conditioning systems 6
