Why Choose the ABB DM251-VCP-NW Virtual Commissioning Platform Network Licence?

The ABB DM251-VCP-NW is a Virtual Commissioning Platform network licence providing advanced simulation capabilities for ABB Automation Builder 2.x. Designed for virtual system testing, it enables automation engineers to test control applications with virtual PLCs and drives before commissioning physical equipment.

DM251-VCP-NW supports ABB's virtual commissioning technology, helping machine builders, system integrators and automation engineers develop and test automation projects in a simulated environment. The platform supports virtual AC500 V2 and AC500 V3 PLCs together with virtual ACS380, ACS580 and ACS880 drives, allowing important elements of an automation system to be evaluated without requiring the corresponding physical hardware.

As the network-licensed version of ABB's Virtual Commissioning Platform, the DM251-VCP-NW can be installed on a licence server for shared use across a local area network. One user can use each network licence at a time, making it suitable for engineering teams that need flexible access to advanced simulation functionality. Its ABB order code is 1SAS010051R0102.

Advanced Virtual Commissioning for Automation Systems

Virtual commissioning allows automation software and control strategies to be tested in a simulated environment before or alongside commissioning of the physical machine. By working with virtual PLCs and drives, engineers can develop, test and refine automation applications while reducing their dependence on the availability of physical control hardware during the engineering phase.

The ABB DM251-VCP-NW provides network access to advanced simulation capabilities within Automation Builder 2.x. Support for virtual AC500 V2 and AC500 V3 PLCs and ABB ACS380, ACS580 and ACS880 drives makes it particularly useful for engineering teams developing integrated PLC and drive-based automation systems.

Typical Applications

  • Virtual commissioning of industrial machinery.
  • ABB AC500 V2 and AC500 V3 PLC application testing.
  • Virtual testing of ACS380, ACS580 and ACS880 drive applications.
  • Machine and production system development.
  • Automation software testing before physical commissioning.
  • OEM and system integrator engineering environments.
