F882 - AC500 V3 PLC Connectivity Training

The goal of this course is to learn the communication capabilities of the AC500 V3 with remote I/O extension and other devices like peer AC500s, HMI Panels and Drives. Introduction to following protocols will be given:

  1. Profinet IO (controller and device)
  2. Profibus
  3. EtherCAT
  4. Modbus TCP (Client/Server), optionally Modbus RTU
  5. CANopen, optionally CAN2A/2B, CAN J1939
  6. OPC UA (client and server), optionally OPC DA/AE
  7. MQTT client
  8. Ethernet/IP (scanner and adapter)
  9. IEC 60870-5-104 (control station and substation)
  10. IEC 61850 (MMS Server, GOOSE publish and subscribe)
  11. DNP3 (Outstation)
  12. BACnet B-BC (client and server), optionally KNX
  13. Basic Ethernet protocols: UDP, NTP, SMTP, SNMP, FTP
  14. Network variables (Codesys protocol for CPU-to-CPU communication)

Connection to remote IO’s and Drives via protocols 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Due to limited duration of the training (3 days), not all protocols could be covered in details, including hands on exercises. Therefore, please indicate your top 5 protocols of interest during enrollment in this course.

Prerequisites and recommendations: participants should have attended the F880 AC500 V3 Basic course or have knowledge and experience associated with the content of this course.

F887 - AC500 V3 PLC Drives Connectivity Training

This 1-day training extends “F882 AC500 V3 PLC Connectivity” training with focus on connectivity to ABB drives including practical exercises with ACS380. 
After completing this course, the participant will be able to:

  • Understand main differences between typical hard wiring and PLC fieldbus drive’s control
  • Know the possibilities of which protocol can be used for AC500 V3 to ABB drives:  ProfiNet RT, Modbus TCP / Modbus RTU, EtherCAT (optionally ProfiBus, CANopen, Ethernet/IP)
  • Use Automation Builder to configure AC500 for Drives connection:
    • Design and configure drives application program by using standard functions, and functions blocks from drives library PS5605-Drives
    • Use simple visualization
    • Use diagnostics tools and troubleshooting
  • Use Drive Composer to configure Drive to PLC connection

Prerequisites and recommendations: participants shall have a basic understanding of AC500 V3 Basics (F880 course), AC500 V3 connectivity (F882 course) as well as operation and startup of ABB Drives (ACSx80).
