AC500-XC
Manufacturer: ABB
AC500-XC
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.
