ABB: AC500-eCo V3 PLC

February 7, 2024

The AC500-eCo V3 from ABB is a range of compact PLCs providing functionality for cost-effective applications.

AC500-eCo V3 is a ready-to-go solution with all necessary components onboard ready for entry-level automation solutions. The CPUs come in three performance classes: Basic, Standard and Pro.

Modularity

New smart elements on the CPUs make them easy to adapt to the requirements of the target application. Start from small and extremely cost-sensitive stand-alone applications and feel comfortable with the ability to seamlessly adapt the PLC to the next level of machine innovation.

Micro memory card

Available on all CPUs to perform:

  • Firmware updates
  • Application update
  • Data storage

Onboard I/O

Depending on the CPU type, 6 to 12 digital inputs and 4 to 8 digital outputs, relay or transistor are available onboard. In addition, 2 freely configurable digital I/O channels can be used as input or output.

Go for simple motion control

All the CPUs in the AC500-eCo V3 range provide functionality for simple motion applications combining up to four fast counters or two A/B encoders and up to four high-speed outputs configurable for PTO or PWM mode.

E-T-A: UL 1077 & UL 489 4230-T Miniature Circuit Breakers

The 4230 is a thermal-magnetic Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) in an industry standard footprint in accordance with DIN 43880. Its conformity with the relevant standards IEC 60947-2 and UL1077 makes the 4230-T ideally suitable for worldwide use. Due to its high rupture capacity of 63 A, the 4230-T is suitable for use as a supplementary protector. Later product extensions by add-on modules such as an auxiliary contact module or a working current module offer high flexibility for the user.

Pepperl+Fuchs: Robotic Lab Automation With RFID Readers

Robotic lab automation is a growing market worldwide. Testing labs handle some of our most precious materials and through automation, minimize the chance of human error. For example, let’s look at a blood sorting and testing line used in a lab to analyze patient specimens. As one might imagine, keeping track of these blood samples is vital. The last thing a lab would want is to wrongly diagnose a patient.

Cembre: Precut 4mm Push in Markers, for PMF Holders

SerieFLAT MG-TPMF tags are used for marking cables, conduit, tubes, conductors and components. Presented in stem format, tags are simply snapped off their stems and inserted into the appropriate holders. Consult Cembre for other colours. Compliance is checked by inspection and by rubbing the marking by hand for 15 s with a piece of cloth soaked with water and again for 15 s with a piece of cloth soaked with hexane.
