The controller is very capable and well suited to a wide range of applications. From basic logic to advanced regulatory control or any mix between these two. From only a handful of I/O points to thousands of them, installed locally or remotely. It is communicative too by supporting the IEEEE 802.3, PROFIBUS-DP/DP-V1, FOUNDATION Fieldbus H!, HART and several RS 232C protocols. And it supports calibrations and diagnosis of HART compatible field devices from a central system point.

Control Software
Control software offers a wide range of industry control functionality for your AC800 family controller. From binary logic to advanced regulatory control. From discrete process signals to high level process objects. An application, no matter how complex, can be downloaded from the engineering tool to the target controller(s) involved in minutes.

AC500 libraries deliver the seamless integration of drives, and supervisory systems for the quick and easy building commissioning of automation solutions. AC500 solution by ABB are maintained to ensure that your programs also be used with less risk.
