Why Choose the ABB PS552-MC-E AC500 V2 Motion Control Library?

The ABB PS552-MC-E is an extended PLCopen® motion control software library for ABB AC500 V2 PLCs, designed to simplify the engineering of demanding industrial motion applications. It provides standardised motion-control function blocks for drive-based and PLC-based architectures, allowing automation engineers to implement motion functionality within the ABB Automation Builder engineering environment.

PS552-MC-E supports single-axis, multi-axis and coordinated motion, making it suitable for machinery requiring anything from straightforward positioning through to synchronised movement involving several axes. The library includes administrative, homing, single-axis, multi-axis and coordinated-motion function blocks together with ABB-specific function blocks intended to simplify application development.

The extended library also provides advanced motion capabilities including cam profiles, polynomial interpolation, spline interpolation and jerk limitation. It is supplied as a licensed AC500 V2 software library and requires a valid licence for compilation, while a single-user licence can be used to create applications for an unlimited number of compatible CPUs.

Advanced PLCopen® Motion Control for AC500 V2

PLCopen® motion control provides a standardised programming approach for implementing common machine movements using reusable function blocks. With PS552-MC-E, AC500 V2 programmers can implement functions ranging from homing and individual-axis positioning to synchronised multi-axis movements and coordinated motion without developing the complete motion-control architecture from the ground up.

The extended library is particularly suited to applications requiring more sophisticated motion profiles. Cam functionality, spline and polynomial interpolation, profile generation and coordinated-motion blocks allow engineers to develop complex machine sequences while retaining integration with the AC500 control application and ABB Automation Builder engineering workflow.
