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.
