2.2 System Overview

The AC500 is a scalable PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) developed by ABB to
serve an example of the markets shown below, from small to large machines. It is
configured using the standard IEC61131 programming languages which makes it easy
to configure, understand and maintain.

It features some benefits such as:

Ease of wiring the base components can be installed and wired without a need
for the more expensive intelligent modules.

Reduced stock the devices used are flexible in their application, which means
that they can be configured in different ways, reducing the need to hold stock
which only has one use.

Simple to install and scalable it has a scalable architecture than makes it future
proof.

Cost savings the system components are powerful and price attractive.

2.3 CPU Terminal Bases

2.3.1 CPU Terminal Base Overview

Currently there 3 types of terminal bases that the processor units plug in to. These are
the TB511-ETH, TB521-ETH and TB541-ETH. The middle number of the part
number indicates the number of expansion slots available, so for example on the
TB541-ETH there are 4 expansion slots, shown in the diagram above (far right hand
side image).
The ETH designation of the terminal base part number indicates that it is Ethernet
compatible.
Each base has a special hardware coding on it which is a plastic strip, stopping
modules which are inappropriate for the terminal base being plugged into it.
All terminal bases are mounted on standard DIN rail, using a spring loaded mount.
They are simply clipped onto the DIN rail and snapped into place.
Communication modules can be plugged in to the expansion slots, and all CPU
terminal bases support all types of AC500 processor modules.

Fieldbus Plug
Port ini menggunakan protokol proprietary ABB untuk menyambung ke perangkat
ABB lain. Contoh ini bisa menjadi masukan/keluaran modul, motor starter langsung
dan sebaliknya, pengendali motor universal dan lain-lain.
COM1
COM1 port dapat digunakan untuk pemrograman serial controller menggunakan
laptop atau PC, serial RS232 / 485 Modbus link, output ASCII ke printer ASCII atau
layar, dan CS31 interface bus (dibahas nanti dalam bab ini).
CATATAN

COM1 adalah satu-satunya port yang mendukung CS31 link

COM2
Port-D 9 pin ini terhubung untuk mendukung protokol yang sama seperti COM1
dengan pengecualian dari interface bus CS31.
Ethernet / Arcnet
Tergantung pada jenis terminal basis yang memerintahkan, akan ada baiknya Ethernet
atau dukungan ARCNET. Hal ini dapat diidentifikasi oleh koneksi antarmuka, port
antarmuka koaksial BNC digunakan untuk ARCNET, dan port RJ45 digunakan untuk
Ethernet.

2.4 AC500 Processors

2.4.1 Jenis presesor dan ikhtisar
Ada 4 jenis prosesor yang tersedia PM571, PM581, PM582 dan PM591 prosesor.
PM571 adalah yang terkecil dari keluarga dan ditetapkan sebagai mikroprosesor,
sedangkan PM581 dan PM582 adalah prosesor dan PM591 adalah prosesor Midi. 4
pilihan ini memastikan bahwa skalabilitas tersedia untuk pengguna.
Program yang telah ditulis untuk PM571 dapat dimuat ke dalam PM591 tanpa upaya
tambahan, sehingga persyaratan proses tumbuh, PLC dapat tumbuh dengan itu.
Setiap jenis prosesor berturut-turut memiliki memori yang lebih besar dengan
maksimum 4096 Kbytes tersedia untuk kode program PM591.

Pada bagian depan CPU setiap jenis kontroler memiliki layar LCD besar yang
menunjukkan kode kesalahan, pengaturan yang telah dikonfigurasi dalam controller,
dan pengaturan konfigurasi bus.
LED menunjukkan DAYA, RUNNING, dan kondisi / keadaan prosesor ERROR, dan
ini adalah kode warna.

AC500 / S500 Training

Keypad digunakan pada prosesor untuk memungkinkan akses insinyur untuk CPU dan
ke sisi kanan tombol SD (secure digital) slot memori yang tersedia.

Kartu SD memungkinkan update firmware yang akan dimuat ke dalam CPU, transfer
proyek identik antara pengendali, dan kode sumber upload dan download dari PLC ke
PC atau sebaliknya.
Memori SD tidak memerlukan kekuatan untuk
mempertahankan isinya.
Jenis lain dari memori kehilangan isinya ketika power terganggu.

NOTE!

Sebuah baterai mengambil baterai lithium opsional yang digunakan untuk

menjaga program PLC dalam kasus kegagalan daya. Jika baterai ini tidak
diinstal atau telah habis sepenuhnya kemudian pada kekuatan gagal untuk
prosesor, kode hilang, dan harus dimuat ulang ke dalam prosesor baik
menggunakan kabel pemrograman dan koneksi ke PC, atau dengan kartu
memori SD ditunjukkan di atas.

2.4.2 AC500 Processor Mounting

Semua jenis prosesor yang dipasang pada basis terminal mereka dengan mendorong
modul prosesor dengan kuat ke dasar terminal hingga terpasang seperti ditunjukkan
dalam diagram di bawah..

Untuk turun prosesor dari dorongan dasar terminal pada titik yang ditunjukkan (1) dan
tarik modul keluar dari dasar terminal.

2.5 Communication Modules

Communication modules are mounted in the expansion slots on the terminal bases.
Any type of communication module can be used in any of the expansion slots.

2.5.1 Profibus CM577-PB

The Profibus DP module is a V1 (Version 1) master module on a Profibus network. It

supports communication speeds up to 12Mbits/second and does not require any
external power sources other than being plugged into the expansion slot of the
terminal base.
On board the module are LED diagnostic indicators for POWER, READY, RUN,
STATUS and ERROR.
The 9 pin D-Sub connector provides a interface for twisted pair wired connections.
Optional 9-pin connectors can provide integrated switching of the Profibus terminator.

2.4.5 Ethernet CM572-ETH

The Ethernet module is a 10MB or 100MB auto sensing module (ie, it will detect the
speed of the connection, and automatically switch between 10MB or 100MB
connections). The module features an integrated 2 port switch, which allows multidropping in a network architecture. The ports accept standard RJ45 connectors. No
external power supply is required, in line with the Profibus module, and it also
features the same LED diagnostics as the Profibus module.
Rotary dials on the module are used to set the IP address of the module.
It is possible that in the future the module will feature an integrated web server for
remote diagnostics of the device.
