Overview

Essential details：07AI91 AC31 adapter for retrofitting ABB

For the protection of your investments and for ease of migration to the new AC500 PLC generation, ABB provides AC31 adapter modules based on AC500. The modules have the same footprint, cabling and features as the previous AC31 series 90 products with up-to-date AC500 hardware.
AC31 adapter modules can replace existing AC31 devices with either direct compatible e.g. I/O modules or need adjustments with a new user program for the CPU using Automation Builder software.
Main characteristics and architecture
The connection locations do not differ from the predecessor hardware and the number or type of I/O channels are comparable. For remote I/O products on the CS31 bus, I/Os of an existing field application can be modified without having to change the application or configuration. New modules can be configured with DIP switches. Replacing the AC31 PLC with the 07KT98-x-AD PLC requires to rewrite the application program using the Automation Builder engineering suite. Advantages at a glance
• Compatible with the existing AC31 series 90 remote I/O-modules, in some cases with 1-to-1 replacement in the field, no change of application configuration required.
• Footprint identical to predecessor hardware.
• Automation Builder for PLC programming.
• Standard AC500 modules for seamless migration from AC31 to the new AC500.
• Longer life cycle of AC31 through migration to new solution.

Under certain conditions, the AC31 adapter I/O modules may be used as spare parts for existing applications where the previous AC31 modules were installed. The AC31 adapter modules can normally replace old modules without any changes in the configuration or application.
The new module is configured with DIP switches, the old one removed, the new one installed and the application started again.
The modules have the same footprint, cabling position and channel assignment. The AC31 adapter module supports most of the previous functionalities of the old module. There are only a few exceptions and minor differences that are listed below:
• The AC31 adapter I/O modules can only be used, supported and tested with ABB AC31 master devices and cannot run with third party controllers.
• The AC31 adapter modules are based on standard AC500 I/O modules and on a specific electronic base, the modules cannot be purchased separately and are always delivered as complete devices. The pluggable electronic module cannot be replaced separately without the base.
