General Manager Ulvi Temel has worked as Elmak’s company managing partner since 2010. We have interviewed him about subsystem control with our AC500 PLC in infrastructure applications such as metro, tram, rail and tunnels.

ABB's AC500-S safety PLC is used in a wide range of automation applications where functional safety standards must be met. This also includes industrial elevators. In this success story from Austria, read how the Structured Text programming language was used to implement the safety functions in a tunnel shaft elevator.

The ABB AbilityTM engineering tool Automation Builder for AC500 PLCs features a Process Control Object library for integration into System 800xA. As it contains pre-tested function blocks for each object as well as matching symbols and faceplates for these, it significantly reduces commissioning – a decisive factor in automation projects.

The sudden outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic caused many companies to switch their production to personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical staff and citizens. So did Sarem, a Turkish plastic pipe extrusion line manufacturer, with ABB’s and project partner Halici’s support. ABB Automation Products GmbH provided the AC500 PLC PM573 together with several input and output modules from the same product family (FM562, DI524, DO524, DI561, AO561, AI523, DC551-CS31).

In this interview, Dr. Hüseyin Halıcı, Managing Director of ABB Channel Partner Halici Elektronik in Turkey, tells us about the history of his cooperation with ABB, the hurdles he has overcome and his most successful sales strategy: offering package solutions to his customers including ABB PLCs and drives.

ABB promotes practical training with automation devices by donating AC500 PLCs to higher education institutions such as Ruppin Technological College in Israel.

This success story describes how ABB Automation Products supports the geothermal industry in Turkey with its AC500 PLCs and S500 hot-swap I/Os by controlling local wellheads and brine flow.

Già da alcuni anni ABB effettua interventi di automazione sugli impianti di Enel Green Power. Nel 2016 oltre alla normale attività di revamping, è stata inserita nella centrale elettrica di Masino il sistema di Condition Monitoring System (CMS) AC500 di ABB.
