THE REALITY

ABB is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.


AC500 tags stay in Automation Builder, remote sites report late, maintenance reacts to faults, and AI models never see live OPC-UA data across the estate.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

SaaS-to-SaaS. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for ABB, Slack + a thousand other SaaS apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

  • ERP and asset systems that need live process values and run state per site
  • Historian and data-warehouse targets that should hold every AC500 tag at full rate
  • CMMS that should raise a work order when an AC500 alarm or fault fires
  • OEE and predictive-maintenance models needing live flow, power and cycle data
  • Power and water sites where an AC500 runs with no supervisory layer in front
What Rayven reaches

SCADA, historians, ERP, IoT + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

  • ABB + every SCADA, historian and ERP system
  • OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, PROFINET, S7 + custom-built connectors.
  • Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
  • Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
  • AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included
WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

ABB + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

ABB AC500 → Industrial AI Data Fabric

AC500 tags stream to the fabric

Rayven reads AC500 and AC500-eCo tags and I/O over OPC-UA, Modbus and PROFINET, then streams them into a real-time Industrial AI Data Fabric with asset and ERP context. No Automation Builder export, no SCADA layer required.

ABB AC500 (alarm) → CMMS

Alarm raises the work order

An AC500 alarm or fault opens a work order in CMMS automatically, tagged with the site, asset and live process values so maintenance mobilises with context, not just an exception call.

ABB AC500 → ERP + asset register

Throughput and run state post upstream

Flow, power, throughput and run state read from AC500 tags post to ERP and the asset register in real-time, so operations and finance see true site output rather than a daily summary.

Rayven (supervised) → ABB AC500 setpoint

Supervised setpoint writeback, safely scoped

Where explicitly scoped, Rayven writes a non-safety setpoint back to an AC500 tag under supervision and full audit. It never reprograms the controller and never writes to safety logic; interlocks and control stay exactly as configured.

BEYOND INTEGRATION

Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.


Rayven isn't just a ABB connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once ABB is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.

01
 

AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)

ABB data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.
Learn more →

02
 

Live AI access (Rayven MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT + Gemini get live, governed access to ABB and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real ABB records + numbers.
Learn more →

03
 

Automation + AI agents

Workflows + AI agents act on ABB data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →

04
 

Custom apps + portals

Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated ABB data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.
Learn more →

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. ABB stays ABB. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for AC500 OPC-UA information-model reads with Modbus register resolution.

THE PLATFORM BEHIND IT

Rayven is a five-layer platform ALL your integrations + much more
can run on.


Integration is one layer of Rayven. Data, execution, presentation + governance are the other four - all delivered as one platform on one commercial.

WHY RAYVEN · NOT JUST ANY CONNECTOR

The integration is the easy bit.
The platform + team behind it is the difference.

99.9% platform uptime

Platform + team. One commercial.

Not five vendors stitched together. Rayven is the platform AND the Australia-based expert team that scopes, builds + supports it. One commercial. No licence stacking, no finger-pointing.

AC500 OPC-UA NATIVE

Built for the AC500 process model.

Rayven reads AC500 and AC500-eCo tags and I/O over OPC-UA, Modbus and PROFINET for real-time sync, resolving symbol and register naming to engineering-unit tags. Power, water and process sites read the same way - reads and contextualises only, never a write to safety logic.

5/5 · 140+ REVIEWS

We stay after go-live.

No handoff. No disappearing. Rayven is a long-term partner when your ABB evolves, your stack changes, or you push further. 24/7 support. Same team, same platform, same commercial.

DEPLOY HOW YOU WANT

Hosted your way, where you need.

Deploy as cloud, private cloud + on-premise - in Australia, the US, the UK, or anywhere else your ABB data needs to live. Your residency, your rules, your local compliance environment.

FAQS

The questions ABB admins, RevOps + IT ask first.


If you're evaluating Rayven for ABB integration, these are the things worth knowing before booking a call.

The 30-minute call covers
  • Your ABB + connected stack today
  • What's reachable + which systems to bring in first
  • Live walkthrough of Rayven against your scenario
  • Time, scope + delivery estimate
  • Honest read on whether Rayven's the right fit

What is ABB PLC integration?

ABB integration means reading tags and I/O off the AC500 PLC family and connecting them to ERP, CMMS and AI. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, not a per-site script.

Does Rayven reprogram or control our AC500 PLCs?

No. Rayven reads AC500 tags over OPC-UA and Modbus and contextualises them. Supervised writeback is limited to explicitly-scoped non-safety setpoints and never touches safety logic or interlocks. See security, governance + hosting.

How does Rayven relate to ABB 800xA and SCADA?

Rayven reads AC500 controller data directly at the edge, whether or not a supervisory layer sits in front. For distributed process control on ABB 800xA or a supervisory layer, see DCS integration and SCADA integration. Read more in how Rayven works.

What systems can Rayven connect ABB to?

Rayven connects AC500 to 1,228+ systems including ERP, historians, CMMS and sibling controllers like Schneider Electric and Siemens. Custom connectors are part of done-for-you delivery.

How long does ABB PLC integration take with Rayven?

Most AC500 integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single site tag-to-historian or fault-to-work-order flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a distributed multi-site fabric with predictive maintenance runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.

AC500 exposes OPC-UA already. Why does Rayven add value on top?

The OPC-UA server exposes tags; it does not join them to ERP and maintenance, hold history at rate or run AI across sites. Rayven adds the real-time fabric, cross-site context and the analytics and agent layers on top. Read more in how Rayven works.

What are the technical specifics of ABB PLC integration with Rayven?

Rayven reads ABB AC500 and AC500-eCo controllers over OPC-UA, Modbus TCP and PROFINET, and EtherCAT where configured. Tags, registers, I/O and machine-state values are read at the edge, with the OPC-UA information model and Modbus register maps resolved to named engineering-unit tags, then mapped field by field into an Industrial AI Data Fabric alongside historian, CMMS and ERP data. Distributed power and water sites read into one central model rather than site-by-site polling. Rayven reads and contextualises only; supervised writeback covers explicitly-scoped non-safety setpoints and never writes to safety logic or the AC500-S safety CPU. Authentication uses OPC-UA certificates and signed sessions, governed at the connector with full audit, deployed at the edge, on-premises or with sovereign hosting. Validated against AC500 and AC500-eCo controllers across power, water and process sites, with ABB 800xA covered on the DCS side.
