ABB System 800xA  Extended Automation

Promoting collaboration

Collaboration between people and systems is a necessity to increase engineering efficiency, asset utilization, energy savings, and operator effectiveness. System 800xA’s ‘xA’ stands for Extended Automation and utilizes the system architecture which was built for collaboration. System 800xA is the only automation platform that has the ability to engineer, commission, control, and operate automation strategies for process, power, electrical and safety in the same, redundant, reliable system. Also, facilitating collaboration is System 800xA’s pre-integrated applications such as a full featured historian, asset optimization and batch management.

System 800xA

ABB’s award winning System 800xA provides you with a better way to achieve measurable productivity and profitability improvements. System 800xA extends the scope of traditional DCS systems to include all automation functions in a single operations and engineering environment; enabling your plants to perform smarter and better at substantial cost savings. System 800xA delivers extended productivity gains by:

− Reducing time to decision and action 

− Engineering for maximum performance 

− Reducing risk through high integrity automation 

− Integrating information for improved visibility 

− Improving batch production profitability, consistency, and traceability 

− Optimizing plant asset availability and performance 

− Delivering Control and I/O to meet automation and safety needs 

− Extending installed system capabilities through seamless evolution

License

The central licensing system (CLS) is local to each system. Each system is ordered separately, and a separate license file is fetched for each system from the Software Factory. This also means that each system is managed individually updates and upgrades, as well as initial system installation The software or hardware described in the document is furnished under a license and may be used, copied, or disclosed only in accordance with the terms of such license.

DVD Formats

The 800xA software is delivered on dual layer DVDs. In most instances, DVD readers from 2004 and later will be able to read this format. In those instances where the dual layer format can not be read, the recommendation is to purchase an USB DVD reader capable of reading dual layer DVDs.
