Processor Modules

The AC500 product family consists of the product groups:

• AC500 (standard):

  AC500 standard PLCs offer a wide range of performance levels and scalability. The PLCs are highly capable of communication and extension for flexible application.

• AC500-eCo:

  AC500-eCo PLCs are cost-effective, high-performance compact PLCs that offer total inter-operability with the core AC500 range and provide battery-free uninterrupted output. All I/O modules can be freely connected in a simple, stable and reliable manner.

• AC500-S:

  AC500-S PLCs are designed for safety applications involved in factory or machinery automation area.

• AC500-XC:

  AC500 (standard) and AC500-S provide devices with -XC extension as a product variant. These variants operate according to their product group and can, in addition, be operated under extreme conditions. AC500-XC PLCs can be used at high altitudes, extended operating temperature and in humid condition. Further, the PLCs provide immunity to vibration and hazardous gases. The AC500-XC Series is consistent with ordinary PLC in the overall dimensions, control function and software compatibility. System data: AC500-XC: System Data AC500-XC System Data AC500-XC.

The AC500 product family is characterized by functional modularity. As the complete AC500 product family shares the same hardware platform and programming software tool, the devices of the AC500 product groups can be flexibly combined.

S500 devices represent the I/O modules of the product group AC500 (standard), whereas S500-eCo devices represent the I/O Modules of the product group AC500-eCo. Both S500 and S500-eCo devices can be combined with devices of the AC500 product family in a flexible way.
