ABB — Adapter solutions with modern AC500 devices

A new footprint-compatible solution for replacing obsolete control systems based on the KT94 and KT98 families has been launched by ABB, one of the leading suppliers of automation solutions for the newspaper industry. The adapter solution has exactly the same connection layout as the KT94 and KT98 original devices, but carries modern modules from the AC500 family. This means that no changes to the mounting and wiring are required. All existing interfaces are supported including Ethernet, Arcnet, dualport RAM and CS31bus.

AC500 is a mature system in the middle of the active phase of the life cycle. It is used in countless demanding applications worldwide. The long-term availability of spare parts is guaranteed by ABB and parts are available from the local ABB organizations in over 100 countries and also from third-party suppliers.
