1 Getting started with AC500 V3 products
1.1 Introduction
This document gives an overview of the steps for the first use of a PLC with AC500 V3 CPU
and describes:
● installation of the engineering software
Ä
Chapter 1.2 “Engineering software Automation
Builder” on page 3
● hardware needed for example projects
Ä
Chapter 1.3 “Hardware AC500 V3” on page 9
● setting up a first, simple project for a stand-alone CPU with central I/O expansion, including
visualization and web visualization
Ä
Chapter 1.4 “Example project for central I/O expan-
sion” on page 12
● commissioning a project for remote I/O expansion with PROFINET
Ä
Chapter 1.5 “Example
project for remote I/O expansion with PROFINET” on page 56
NOTICE!
Read safety instructions first
Read the safety instructions before first use of the products.

1.2 Engineering software Automation Builder
For configuring and programming of any AC500 CPU you need the engineering software suite
Automation Builder. Automation Builder is available for download
Ä
Further information
on page 3.
1.2.1 Installing Automation Builder
You must have admininstrator rights on your PC to install Automation Builder.
In case of an update installation:
Create a project archive before updating Automation Builder. Project archives
contain all project data, including data that is not stored with a *.project file, e.g.
device description files for third party devices.
1. Go to abb.com/automationbuilder to access the homepage of Automation Builder.
2. In the “Downloads” section, select “Download Automation Builder”.
3. In the “Latest Automation Builder” section, select “Automation Builder x.x. Download” (x.x
= latest version). This downloads the installer on your PC.
4. Open the downloaded installer and follow the instructions of the installation manager.

5. Keep the default type of installation to “Premium Edition”.
6. Select software packages to be installed:
Enable the check box “PLC - AC500 V3” to activate installation of all options for AC500
V3.
7. Click “Download and install” and follow the instructions of the setup.
1.2.2 Licensing procedure
When you start Automation Builder software for the first time, you will be asked to choose a
license option.
However, a basic license is enough for the example project for central I/O expansion, we recom-
mend to activate a trial license which is required for the example project for remote I/O expan-
sion. This way, you do not have to change licenses when programming the second example
project.

1.2.3 Set-up communication parameters in windows
To set-up the communication between the PC and the PLC, e.g., for downloading the compiled
program, you have to set-up the communication parameters.
The IP address of your PC must be in the same class as the IP address of the CPU.
The factory setting of the IP address of the CPU is 192.168.0.10.
The IP address of your PC should be 192.168.0.X. Avoid X = 10 in order to prevent an IP con-
flict with the CPU.
Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
1. Open Windows Control Panel. Click “Network and Internet
è Network and Sharing Center”.
2. Click Change adapter settings.
If using existing network with several devices, please pay attention on
given network rules or contact your system administrator.
3. Right-click Local Area Connection (Ethernet) and select Properties.

1.3 Hardware AC500 V3
1.3.1 Configuration for example projects
The example projects require a small PLC configuration with I/O devices, e.g., as available in
the training case TA5450-CASE. https://to.abb/AfO9-ftT
