How can AC500-eCo be tailored to grow more with your needs?
The new, compact AC500-eCo offers an introduction to the
AC500 PLC range as an optimal cost-performance solution
for small applications. The CPUs have integrated I/Os and can
be configured to accommodate up to seven S500 I/O expansion
modules.
The system functionality can be enhanced by simply selecting
a more powerful CPU and/or additional I/O modules.
All modules can be simply mounted on DIN rails or fixed using
screws. System configuration is carried out using the integrated
system software (PS501 Control Builder).
The AC500 has a unique architecture which allows either
CPUs and/or I/O modules to be upgraded to more powerfulcomponents
as per application requirements.
