Quickstart Guide
ABB PLC and drives integration using Modbus RTU
Install drives library
Note! In Control Builder Plus V2.3 and later, the ACSDrivesBase library is already installed. You can find it in the
subfolder "PS553‐DRIVES" of the default library folder (see left picture below)
Note! The version of the library can differ, nevertheless the name will stay the same! Creation date and main
changes can be seen in the library manager of CODESYS only.
For older Versions of Control Builder Plus you can download the installation package in the following way from:
o www.abb.com/PLC:
o On right side menu under heading "Your preferences": Select "English" as language ... (country doesn´t
matter).
o On right side menu under "More Info Links" : Click on "PS501 Updates".
o Select "PS501‐UPDA: PS553‐DRIVES..." to download *.zip file.
Install the drives library "PS553‐DRIVES" with ready‐made function blocks and visualization objects by unzipping to
a temporary directory and clicking on the file "setup.exe" (see right picture below).
