IEC61850

Substation communication

IEC61850 is a standard defining TCP/IP protocol

for electrical substations. The protocol is well

known and widely used. Using that TüV certified

protocol, AC500 PLC can act as an IED providing

an IEC 61850 MMS server for standardized data

exchange or use GOOSE publisher/subscriber

communication for higher priority data.

ABB’s ABB AbilityTM Automation Builder engineer

ing suite integrates the IED configuration and

data mapping for seamless and easy combination

with the application program.

Better support on portable devices with HTML5

web server technology

All AC500 V3 CPUs come with an integrated web

server based on the HTML5 technology. This

technology is supported by nearly all browsers,

and is therefore also available on devices with

OS and/or Android. Web visualization enables

easy and convenient remote access, monitoring,

service and diagnosis of a system over the inter

net. Web visualization offers a large number of

basic elements and controls with many adaptationoptions.

Using these, the user can quickly and

easily create attractive and high-quality visualiza

tion interfaces for widely varying applications in

the automation industry. State of the art visual

ization can be created using standard tools suit

from ABB AbilityTM Automation Builder.

Within the AC500 portfolio, the control panel

range CP600 can be used to display the integrated HTML5 WEB visualization.
