Operating And Displaying - ABB AC500 Introduction Manual

Operating and displaying

The AC500 offers as well an extensive range of products for communication between operator and
machine. There are many different displays to choose from, which satisfy application-specific demands
regarding required operator actions and information density.
Users can communicate with the AC500s CPUs via the various operator panels, read and write access
on device data is possible. Configuration is quick and easy to perform, using the same software for all
devices (programming software CPsoft, 1SBS 260 283 R1001). Commands and programming
languages are identical for all devices. With regard to frequently harsh conditions at the place of
installation, all operator panels fulfill IP65 protection at the front. Operator panels and automation
devices are linked either simply via serial interfaces, or in case of complex applications via Ethernet,
Modbus or PROFIBUS DP.
