ABB 3BUS092075R0001 The Enterprise Management & Control System

Reaching New Levels of Productivity 

Within ABB’s new family of integrated software and hardware solutions – collectively known as Industrial IT – the ABB Symphony™ Enterprise Management and Control System offers customers a solid foundation for the addition of new Industrial IT components. Symphony user’s of Harmony I/O, control and communication elements retain all the process security and existing configuration value of their new or existing harmony controls while gaining the new and innovative features and strategies fundamental to Industrial IT. SYMPHONY enhances the real-time sharing of knowledge between related, but divergent, enterprise operations. Fully equipped with an integrated set of decision-making tools, Industrial IT makes it possible for realtime information to be shared – and its value compounded – throughout an organization. The result is better and faster decisions that optimize company assets, whether people, raw material, process, or infrastructure.

Open Architecture for Seamless Integration

Industrial IT applications are designed to be used as stand-alone or integrated solutions, enabling the flexibility to implement the required functions today and the agility to add on as needs evolve. ABB’s diligent use of open standards simplifies the task of interfacing with existing automation and information systems, while the proven SYMPHONY progression ensures an additional layer of established investment protection.

A Global Leader

Today, Evolution through Enhancement has expanded to include the latest products and services from the world’s largest automation supplier; including instrumentation, analytical devices, meters, robotics, drives, motors, machines, manufacturing execution systems, and control products and systems. Backed by common Industrial IT technology and industry specific expertise, ABB’s automation portfolio provides the seamless link between process and business management to deliver knowledge-based solutions.

Powerful Tools for Enterprise Management and Control

ABB’s Industrial IT with SYMPHONY solutions reach beyond the traditional boundaries of distributed control systems to support the platform, application and professional service needs of total enterprise management and control.

SYMPHONY’s multi-tiered span of control provides a secure foundation with robust, but flexible, base level regulatory and sequence control. Solutions continue through the full range of higher level management and advanced control functions to include: production management, maintenance management, simulation, historian, and network management. The integration of these powerful features is achieved through SYMPHONY’s integrated “plant-centric” architecture. Embodied in the principles of open, real-time networking, the SYMPHONY architecture provides a scalable communications fabric that spans and integrates loop, unit, area, plant, and interplant controls.

Industrial IT with SYMPHONY dramatically improves enterprisewide productivity through four powerful, integrated classes of products:

·Harmony Series Area Management and Control Products – a comprehensive set of traditional process, regulatory and sequence control services and I/O interfaces

·Harmony Series Area Management and Control Products – a comprehensive set of traditional process, regulatory and sequence control services and I/O interfaces

·Operate IT-Process for Harmony and other Human System Interfaces – a range of console products for accessing and viewing data from multiple operating environments, from process control and I/O to plant and enterprise information

·Industrial IT Plant Optimization and Management Solutions – a powerful suite of products and services for plant management and control focused on increasing asset utilization and on optimal management of plant capacity

Control Products

The Harmony product series consists of a family of process controllers, communication couplers and I/O interfaces. Thirty-two bit processing, coupled with modular scalability, make the Harmony family a powerful and versatile performer.

Harmony Controllers feature an extensive library of over 240 pre-defined advanced control algorithms and user-definable functions. These functions provide the power to easily design complex control strategies to fit any control application, including continuous, sequential, batch, and advanced control. In addition to standard “function code” implementation, Harmony Controllers support batch language, “C” programming and even multi-variable control. Available in both rack and block packaging, the multifaceted Harmony Controllers communicate simultaneously with numerous field communication protocols.
