Why Choose the ABB PS565-BACnet-ASC BACnet Communication Library?
The ABB PS565-BACnet-ASC is a specialised BACnet communication library for ABB AC500 V2 PLCs, designed to connect OEM machinery and infrastructure automation applications to Building Management Systems (BMS) and other BACnet controllers. It enables an AC500 PLC to operate as a BACnet server device while supporting integration between industrial automation and building automation networks.
As part of the ABB Automation Builder solution engineering portfolio, the PS565-BACnet-ASC library supports the BACnet B-ASC (BACnet Application Specific Controller) device profile. It provides an object-oriented approach to BACnet engineering and allows AC500 controllers to communicate directly over supported BACnet networks without requiring a separate BACnet gateway for many applications.
The library supports both BACnet/IP over Ethernet and BACnet MS/TP over serial networks. It can also enable AC500 controllers to function as hardwired or Modbus-to-BACnet gateways, making it suitable for HVAC, building services, infrastructure and OEM automation projects requiring integration with BACnet-based supervisory systems.

BACnet Integration for AC500 Automation Systems
BACnet is widely used to exchange automation data between controllers and supervisory building systems. The ABB PS565-BACnet-ASC library brings this capability directly to the AC500 V2 PLC platform, allowing industrial and infrastructure control applications to exchange information with BACnet-based systems.
By supporting both BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP, the library provides flexibility when integrating Ethernet and serial building automation networks. This makes it particularly useful where an AC500 PLC controls machinery or infrastructure equipment that must also provide operating data and control points to a central BMS.
Typical Applications
- Building Management System (BMS) integration.
- HVAC and building services automation.
- OEM equipment requiring BACnet connectivity.
- Infrastructure automation systems.
- AC500 PLC integration with BACnet controllers.
- BACnet/IP Ethernet automation networks.
- BACnet MS/TP serial networks.
- Hardwired and Modbus-to-BACnet gateway applications.
