Efficient control system engineering and configuration
Control Builder can be used to configure AC 800M control and safety applications. In addition to editors compliant with IEC 61131, the Control Module Diagram Editor is provided for object-oriented design and engineering of control applications.
IEC 61131-3 engineering
Control Builder is a powerful tool for creating control solutions and reusable control libraries for the AC 800M controller. It is all done in a Windows-based environment, offering a wide range of control functionality for ABB’s industrial controller AC 800M. It supports all five programming “languages” according to IEC 61131-3.
Supported programming languages are:
Instruction List
Structured Text
Function Block Diagram
Sequential Function Chart
Ladder Diagram
Control Diagram Editor
Control Diagram Editor is the next generation editor which helps to increase engineering efficiency, reduce engineering mistakes, and enable the creation of logic which is easy to read and maintain.
Control modules in combination with Control Diagram Editor supports forward and feedback signals in one and the same variable. The result is powerful and easy to read control logic.
Object-oriented programming using Control Modules
For scenarios where the plant design is driven by highly repetitive units, the Control Modules are available. With Control Modules, user defined types covering a unit like a reactor can be designed and efficiently parameterized and instantiated multiple times.
