Simplified engineering
The Process Control Objects (PCO) library for
AC500 V2 contains a function block for each
object. The control task is engineered with the
AC500 engineering tool Automation Builder.
The communication between the objects in Sys
tem 800xA and the function blocks in AC500 is
configured with Bulk Data Manager, which is part
of the System 800xA Engineering toolset. A li
brary with ready-made symbols and faceplates
for the objects is available for System 800xA engineering.
Integrated documentation
For engineering, the function blocks for AC500
include the user documentation. The faceplates
provide multi-language support for the text ele
ments and allow adaptation of the color codes of
the elements to the preferences of the application.
Availability
The Process Control Objects Library (PCO) for
AC500 V2 is available in Automation Builder as of
version 2.2.3. The Automation Builder installation
also contains the required OPC server. The corre
sponding 800xA PLC Object Library for 800xA or
Compact HMI can be ordered via the 800xA 6.0.3
