General
The Compact Control Builder, is a powerful tool for
creating control solutions and reusable control libraries
for the AC 800M controller.
It is all done in a Windows-based
environment, offering a wide range of control functionality
for ABB’s industrial controller AC 800M. From
binary logic to advanced regulatory control, from discrete
process signals to high-level process objects. In any
choice of no less than six programming "languages",
whichever are the most suitable for the tasks at hand.
These are : Instruction List, Structured Text, Function
Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart, Ladder Diagram,
and Control Modules, the latter being ABB’s own
contribution to higher application engineering efficiency
and ease of use.
The Compact Control Builder product package also includes
an AC 800M OPC-server and a soft-controller for testing
of the applications.

Data
Compact Control Builder supports data
types such as Booleans, integers, floating- point numbers,
strings, time, date, etc. All in accordance with the
IEC 61131-3 standard. These basic data types can be
combined into new structured data types, which in turn
may contain other structured data types.
Variable identifiers may be up to 32 characters long.
The library of functions available is probably the industry’s
largest, containing everything from simple AND and OR
gates to ready-for-use self-tuning "adaptive"
PID controllers. Not to forget unique elements for direct
interfacing with variable- speed drives and for easy
handling of all the software-related redundancy features
the AC 800M controller offers.
Applications can either be loaded into the target controller(s)
by non-volatile Compact Flash memory cards or over a
serial link or Ethernet network into battery backedup
RAM.
