Software tools
Software to Design & Validate:
- Application Programming - Seamless implementation of custom control algorithms
Software to Build & Operate:
- Drive Composer - For ABB's common architecture power controllers and drives
- DriveAP (legacy) - For adaptive programming of ABB industrial drives
Connectivity
DCT880 SCR power controllers are compatible with a wide range of communication protocols. The unit comes with a Modbus RTU fieldbus interface as standard. The DCT880 supports two communication connections simultaneously (same or different). Thus, it has the possibility for redundant communication. As well as up to three I/O extension modules (same or different).
User interface options
DCT880 power controllers offer flexible control panel options, including standard and Bluetooth-enabled variants, for fast setup, intuitive operation, and easy diagnostics.
Panels can be mounted on the unit or cabinet door and support wired or wireless connectivity to ABB tools and digital services for efficient commissioning, monitoring, and maintenance.
