Description
The ABB PM511V08(Order Code:3BSE011180R1)is a compact,cost-effective programmable logic controller(PLC)module from ABB’s AC 500 series,designed for small to medium-scale automation tasks in industrial machinery,building automation,water/wastewater systems,and OEM equipment.As part of the widely adopted AC 500 platform,the PM511V08 offers robust IEC 61131-3 programming support,integrated communication capabilities,and seamless scalability—making it ideal for applications requiring reliable control without the complexity of a full DCS.
Despite its compact size,the PM511V08 delivers solid performance with built-in digital I/O,high-speed counters,and flexible networking—enabling standalone operation or integration into larger ABB automation ecosystems via Modbus TCP,EtherNet/IP,or PROFINET(with optional communication modules).
Application Scenario
A European manufacturer of packaging machines needed a reliable,low-footprint controller for a new line of vertical form-fill-seal(VFFS)units.Each machine required:
Coordination of servo drives and pneumatic actuators
High-speed counting of products(up to 200 ppm)
Remote diagnostics via Ethernet
They selected the PM511V08 as the central controller.Using CoDeSys-based Automation Builder,engineers programmed motion sequences in Structured Text(ST)and leveraged the CPU’s two built-in high-speed counters(100 kHz)for product registration.The integrated Ethernet port enabled connection to the plant’s SCADA system via Modbus TCP,while operators used a local HMI for recipe selection.Over 500 machines have been deployed globally—with field MTBF exceeding 150,000 hours—thanks to the ruggedness and simplicity of the PM511V08.
