ABBAC 800M Controller Hardware Product Guide

OPEN, SLIDE or LOCKED, which makes installation and removal of the base 

plates very simple.

There are two ways of mounting the products concerned in cabinets, open rack or 

other types of installations; aluminum profile with mounted DIN-rail, see Figure 14, 

or DIN-rail mounted on a metal sheet of proper size, see Figure 15.

The aluminum profile or metal sheet shall be properly connected to protective earth. 

DIN-rail type with height 7.5 mm shall be used. Refer to type NS 35/7.5 according 

to standard EN 50022.

It is not allowed to manipulate CEX bus base plates in a powered and running 

system. Before changing or removing a base plate, all CEX modules on that 

segment must be remove

The AC 800M and S800 I/O-units have protection class IP 20. If a higher IP class is 

required, an additional enclosure is needed

Configuration

Using the Control Builder interface, it is possible to download controller firmware 

and configure hardware (I/O and communication units). It is also possible to make 

application programs with IEC61131-3 and compile and run programs off-line, as 

an aid to process simulation, before finally downloading an application to the 

controller.

The Control Builder interface is part of the Industrial IT 800xA System, which runs 

on a PC and is normally connected to the AC 800M controller via the Control 

Network, using the CN1 or CN2 port on the AC 800M controller. Alternatively, the 

PC could be connected to the controller via the controller COM4 port (RS-232C). In 

that case, use the tool cable TK212 and a serial port on the PC.

Note that a PM851/PM851A is restricted to one Ethernet (CN1) port, thus 

redundant Ethernet is not available. 

Note that Control Builder as standard does not support CI862. If CI862 is to be 

used, suitable system extension must be installed.
