Can someone tell me how to add ACS880 library in control builder?

Currently I am using control builder 5.1.0 version with AC800M PM861APLC, and 4 nos. of DCS800 drive and 01 no. of ACS800. Now i want to replace ACS800 drive with new ACS880. For this purpose I first need to add library in PLC program. When I am trying to insert new library in "S800IoModulebusHwLib", the option is not enable. (see picture).

PLease advice how can I insert ACS880 library in this section?

Have you tried using the ABB Engineered drive? It does not state ACS800 in the library. It is just DDCS over optical modulebus. Engineered drive in the control builder end is the same for ACS800 using system software and ACS880 (i.e. using datasets from 10 and so on). ABB Standard drive is in use when data sets starts from 1.

Are you trying to Establish Profibus Communication Between ACS880 and ABB DCS?

No.3 dcs and 01 acs800 drives are already communicating with fibre optic through NDBU branching unit. I want to replace ACS 800 drive with newer version ACS880,therefore need to add acs880 library in S800IoModulebus file inside the HW library. hope you understand my need

You can create a new library for ACS880 drive know why you need to create under S800IO modules.

ya by creating new library for ACS880 and connect to hardware library then you can replace the library with ACS880.
