ABB AC800F and compatibility issues with domestic products
Thread Content
The original system was an ABB AC800F; now a smaller, separate control system is in use, and it is planned to use domestic equipment as well. Eventually, the signals will be integrated into ABB’s main system for monitoring. Will this have a significant impact on maintenance and data management?
Systems of the same brand are easier to be compatible, while those from different brands are very difficult. It is recommended that you use a PLC for the new system, and then transmit the data to ABB through an OPC SERVER. First, does your ABB support communication as an OPC CLIENT and SERVER?
The communication templates for the newly installed system use the Profibus protocol, and all template driver files in GSD format are imported into the hardware configuration of the AC800F. In other words, domestic IO modules are used as the IO modules for the AC800F. However, it is highly recommended that you consult ABB’s technical staff to check the compatibility.
Thank you very much. ABB still recommends using their own products, even though they are more expensive!
