ABB drives & robotics: refit & upgrades
ABB ACS drives and IRC5 robot controllers are widely used, but older ACS600 and ACS800 series are being phased out. GCG upgrades to ACS880 or migrates robot controllers from IRC5 to OmniCore, including program conversion and safety integration.
Machine series & controllers
ABB series overview

Migration target
Where we migrate to
→
ABB ACS880 (drives) or ABB OmniCore (robotics)
Software conversion
Existing program converted to modern IEC 61131-3. Recipes and parameter sets transferred.
HMI replacement
Touch panel replaces ageing CRT/TFT. Same operator logic, modern interface.
Fieldbus upgrade
Profibus or DeviceNet converted to PROFINET or EtherNet/IP. Remote I/O preserved where possible.
Track record
Completed refit projects
Completed refit projects on ABB machines, documented, with results.
