ABB Water library Automation Builder 2017

Why Choose the ABB PS563-WATER AC500 V2 Water Library?

The ABB PS563-WATER is a licensed water automation software library for ABB AC500 V2 PLCs, developed for remote stations and pumping applications. It combines process-data logging and pump-control functions in a reusable Automation Builder library package, helping engineers reduce the programming effort required for common water and wastewater automation tasks.

PS563-WATER provides flexible time-stamped data logging designed particularly for remote communications such as GSM/GPRS. Logging can be triggered cyclically, by events or according to tolerance conditions, while integrated functionality supports applications using IEC 60870-5-104. Logged information can be stored in files, with available storage capacity primarily determined by the memory available to the application.

The package also provides pumping-station functionality, including standard multidrive functions, diagnostics, energy-efficiency functions and flow estimation. Additional functionality is available when the library is combined with compatible ABB drives, making PS563-WATER suitable for automated pumping stations, water distribution, wastewater installations and other remote utility applications.

Integrated Logging and Pump Control for Water Automation

Remote water installations often require both dependable process-data storage and efficient pump management. PS563-WATER addresses these requirements through separate logging and pumping libraries within a single solution package. The logging functions can retain time-stamped information locally and are particularly useful at sites where communications to a central SCADA or telecontrol system rely on remote connections.

For pumping applications, the library provides standard multidrive functions together with detailed diagnostics, energy-efficiency features and flow estimation. ABB also designed the solution to provide advanced functionality when combined with compatible ABB drives, allowing AC500 V2 controllers to form the core of integrated pumping-station automation systems.
