ABB AC 800PEC Straightforward engineering workflow

What you simulate is what you implement

Straightforward engineering workflow

In the traditional development process, system engineers

would define the specifications, which software engineers

would then interpret – a time-consuming and error-prone

process that also reduced the likelihood that the resultant

software would correspond to the original specifications and concept.

The AC 800PEC development workflow uses MathWorks®

tools for model-based design as a single development

platform for the entire development process.

Simulink® is used to run system simulations. Real-Time

Workshop® then automatically generates and downloads

controller code from the Simulink® models to the AC 800PEC

controller, eliminating the need to translate the models

manually into C-code.

The use of Real-Time Workshop® allows interactive debug

ging of the software on the controller. Specification and code

are synchronized throughout the development process by

using Simulink® models as executable specifications.

Parameters can be changed and optimized on the PC, and

code can be generated automatically from the models and

then transferred to the controller directly via an Ethernet connection.

Whenever you need us, we’re there

Powerful tools and effective training

The AC 800PEC tool is used for all AC 800PEC controller

handling operations. It supports you in all project phases –

from engineering, installation and commissioning to opera

tion and maintenance. Training courses help you increase

your return on investment, reduce down time and improve

the skills and motivation of your personnel. Throughout a

product’s lifetime, ABB provides training and technical

support, and arranges service contracts – all backed by a

world-class global sales and service network.

Local presence – worldwide

With offices in some 100 countries, ABB is well placed

to offer the best technical advice and local support around

the clock. ABB’s worldwide presence is built on strong

local companies. We offer local sourcing while drawing on

our worldwide experience. By combining the experience

and know-how gained in local and global markets, we ensure

that our customers can gain the full benefit of our products.
