AC500-eCo CPU as S500 remote I/O

When the AC500-eCo compact CPU is used as

remote I/O, it can be programmed with  Automa

tion Builder for local intelligence while communi

cating via the open protocols Modbus TCP or

Modbus RTU with a CPU that will then be the

master of this intelligent remote I/O station. The

AC500-eCo CPU can be expanded by I/O modules

from the S500 and S500-eCo range.

The electronic configuration files that are

provided by ABB for different fieldbus systems

make it easy to configure the S500 remote I/O

station in your engineering tool. The files such as

GSD and GSDML are available for download at

www.abb.com/plc. For Modbus TCP remote I/O

stations a dedicated configurator is included in

Automation Builder and for larger applications a

Bulk Data Manager tool can be used.
