ABB AC500 V3 PLC Enhanced connectivity and performance
AC500 V3 Extension of the existing AC500 family
Our four new AC500 V3 CPUs extend the existing AC500 V2 CPU family. The V3 CPUs feature state of-the-art technology enhancing connectivity, performance and speed as well as expanding the memory of the AC500 family. For your conve nience the new CPUs are compatible with the existing AC500 range of products.
This means, no matter whether you are looking for new applications to meet new demands such as cyber security requirements or cloud connec tivity or just want to leverage and secure your existing AC500 investment by switching to new state-of-the-art technologies – AC500 V3 will fulfill your requirements.
AC500 V3 New features and higher performance
The flexibility, scalability and footprint of AC500 V2 have been passed on to the new CPU range. Therefore, AC500 continues to be the perfect fit for various applications or will be the natural
successor when you need to introduce new features to existing applications or extend machines and applications to reach for the cloud
The new V3 features provide even more flexibility and freedom when it comes to connectivity and functions supplied onboard without the need of additional devices as couplers or switches. AC500 V3 is ready for the requirements of IoT and digita lization and secure cloud connectivity via new protocols and functions.
