ABB Advant Controller 80 User Manual

AC 80 User’s Manual 1-1
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
The Advant® Controller 80 (AC 80) is a high-performance
programmable logic controller specially designed for drives.
Here are a few basic functions of the AC 80:
• Execution of fast drive control application programs
• Communication with drives
• Communication with other controllers
• Communication with S800 I/O, special I/O and fieldbus adapter units
• Modbus-protocol panel/printer port.
The AdvaBuild for Windows program suite (more specifically, the
Function Chart Builder) can be used for programming, configuring and
diagnosing of the AC 80. Configuring and programming the AC 80
looks and feels the same as other Advant controllers. Compatibility to
the APC2 (Application Program Controller; the previous-generation
controller) is preserved when using function blocks from the APC2
library.
PM825, the processor module of the AC 80, is based on an MC68360
microprocessor running at 25 MHz in 16-bit mode. The system and
user application programs are stored in 1024 KB and 512 KB of FLASH
PROM respectively. 1024 kilobytes (512K*16bit) of RAM is available for
the execution of the system and user application programs.
The AC 80 may be used either independently (stand-alone) or as part
of an AF 100 (Advant Fieldbus 100) network. The user interfaces of the
AC 80 are Drive
Window, Modbus-protocol panels and printers, and the
Man-Machine Interface via AF 100.
