ABB TA514-SAFETY: AC500-S Training Case
ABB TA514-SAFETY AC500-S Safety PLC training case combining safety CPU, safety I/O, standard AC500 control, PROFINET and PROFIsafe components for practical functional safety training and demonstration.
Why Choose the ABB TA514-SAFETY AC500-S Training Case?
The ABB TA514-SAFETY is a comprehensive AC500-S Safety PLC training case designed for practical training, demonstration and familiarisation with ABB functional safety automation technology. The portable system brings together AC500 and AC500-S components in a preconfigured training environment for exploring safety PLC hardware, programming, diagnostics and safe I/O operation.
The training case incorporates an SM560-S Safety CPU alongside safety digital, analogue and combined I/O modules. It also includes standard AC500 control and PROFINET components, allowing users to investigate communication between safety and non-safety controllers as well as PROFIsafe communication over PROFINET in central and remote I/O configurations.
Designed specifically for demonstration and training activities, the TA514-SAFETY includes switches for input simulation, indicating LEDs, an analogue potentiometer and a 2-channel light curtain interface. These features allow users to practise safety hardware configuration, I/O mapping, passivation, reintegration, diagnostics and PLCopen Safety function block programming in a dedicated educational environment rather than on operational machinery.

Practical AC500-S Functional Safety Training
Safety PLC training requires more than conventional PLC programming because functional safety systems incorporate dedicated safety hardware, communications, diagnostics and application development procedures. The ABB TA514-SAFETY provides a dedicated environment for exploring these concepts using genuine AC500-S hardware, including safe digital and analogue I/O and an SM560-S Safety CPU.
The training case can demonstrate safety hardware configuration, safety I/O mapping, I/O wiring tests, channel passivation and reintegration, module passivation and reintegration, E-ERR handling, PLCopen Safety function blocks and data exchange between the safety and standard PLC sections. ABB specifies the case for training and demonstration purposes only; example safety applications supplied for training are not intended for direct use on real machinery.
Typical Applications
- AC500-S Safety PLC training courses.
- Functional safety engineering education.
- PLC programmer and commissioning engineer training.
- PROFIsafe and PROFINET training.
- Safety I/O configuration and diagnostic exercises.
- PLCopen Safety function block training.
- Maintenance and troubleshooting instruction.
- Technical colleges and industrial automation training centres.
