Binary outputs

The binary outputs utilize relay contacts.

The 16 outputs are divided into two groups. Each of the 8 outputs has a common circuit. The groups are isolated from each other and from the internal electronics.

The relay coil supply voltage (24 VDC) is switched by an internal relay (R17).

The relay coil supply voltage (24 VDC) is monitored internally before and during the command output.

Command outputs to the process equipment can be executed either directly or in conjunction with the command output monitoring module.

The command output monitoring module is responsible for checking the output circuits (1 out of n times). For more details, refer to the Command Output Monitor datasheet.

The following modules with command output monitoring functions are supported:

– 23BA23 (60 VDC maximum)

The 1.5-pole command output can only be used in conjunction with the command output monitoring module. When using the 1.5-pole command output, the

One of the output relays of the 560BOR01 switches the command to the intermediate relay. Process voltage of the intermediate relay

The process voltage of the intermediate relay is switched by the command output monitoring module.

For 2-pole commands, two output relays are required for each command.

Alternatively, using additional booster relays connected to the command output monitoring module 23BA23.

Direct switching of process relays with high switching capacity on electrical devices (disconnectors, circuit breakers) (see data sheet 23BA23).

The module 560BOR01 performs several command monitoring functions before and during command output.

These tests ensure correct output. These tests can be further refined with the Command Output Monitoring module.

If the command monitoring reveals a fault, the command is canceled. Release relay R17 will only energize the output relay if the test is successful.

A faulty drive or a faulty release relay R17 will result in a complete failure of the command output module.

Built to control power – in industry, utilities and traction

ABB is a globally active company with full process know-how

in a wide field of industrial, utility, traction, marine and other

applications. As a result, the AC 800PEC is a key controller

for ABB’s own range of industrial applications, and also for

third party products and systems.

The AC 800PEC is an efficient and flexible controller family.

Thanks to its short cycle times, fast I/O, high processing

power and advanced control using MATLAB® / Simulink®, the

AC 800PEC:

− Increases process quality and output

− Saves development and engineering costs

− Reduces the energy consumption of your products

− Shortens time-to-market for your development project

− Saves headcount and resources in engineering and

software development

− Enhances Return on Assets (ROA)

The modular structure of the AC 800PEC control system

means it can adapt to any application size, from the largest

industrial plants and propulsion systems down to very

compact products where space and cost are critical.

All over the world, many thousands of processors are now

proving their worth in a wide variety of extremely demanding applications.

The AC 800PEC, the ultimate approach for high demands

The AC 800PEC provides the unique combination of features

required in demanding applications:

− Short cycle times down to 100 μs

− High processing power

− Fast communication and I/O

− Programming tools:

− System engineering with IEC61131-3 languages using

ABB’s Control Builder, either as Compact or Profes sional version

− Product & control development using MATLAB® /

Simulink® for model-based design, easily bridging the

gap from simulation to implementation

− Full integration into ABB’s System 800xA

− Innovative and flexible use of FPGAs to include protocols

and application functionality in the devices without

creating additional processor load

− Optical communication

− Industrial grade hardware with no moving parts

− Long life cycle, easy upgrading

Can you imagine a process with a cycle time of less than 100 μs?

We can – and we’ve built the AC 800PEC to achieve it

High-performance applications with extremely fast control

algorithms – cycle times that range from 100 microseconds

for fast control loops to seconds for long-term operational

transients – require specialized control devices.

That is why we have designed the AC 800PEC, extending the

capabilities of ABB’s well-known ControlIT automation

technology to handle the very high-speed algorithms of

processes such as power electronics applications. We’ve

even gone a step further: now, a single processor unit

combines these high-speed controls with the low-speed

process control tasks usually carried out by separate PLC units.

To facilitate the implementation of control algorithms, the AC

800PEC can be programmed using MATLAB® / Simulink® –

the code is automatically generated from the model and can

be downloaded without manual interaction.

Embedded into a robust and flexible system structure with

integrated standard communication, the AC 800PEC is

unique in the field of industrial process controllers.
