ABB 3BUS092084R0001 IndustrialIT System 800xA

ABB 3BUS092084R0001 IndustrialIT System 800xA

DESCRIPTION

Symphony Harmony is a proven process control system for  demanding applications in various industries. The wide range of  Harmony references include the power generation, chemical,  pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, petrochemical, metal and mining, food and beverage, cement, and  sugar industries. The addition of System 800xA functionality  provides Harmony users with the technology and solutions  needed to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage in their  industries.

Features and Benefits

■ Extending the Return-on-Investment  of Harmony Systems.New hardware  and software product releases increase  operating efficiency and extend the  life of installed systems. New products and programs make the decision  to evolve existing systems straightfor ward and easy.

■ System 800xA Extends Harmony  System Functionality to Achieve  Greater Productivity Gains.System  800xA extends the reach of traditional  automation systems. When integrated  with Harmony systems, productivity  gains necessary to succeed in todayís  business world are achieved. System  extensions include:

·I/O Capability. Significantly reduce  field wiring costs with S800 I/O.  Modular design allows I/O installation in close proximity to sensors,  actuators, and field devices. ·Asset Optimization. Optimize plant  asset availability and performance.  Significantly increase process uptime  and reduce maintenance costs  through optimized remediation work  processes and early detection of asset  performance problems. 

·Information Management.  Improving visibility of integrated  information results in effective decision making. Information  Management provides pertinent  information required to perform efficient planning, analysis, and actions. 

·Personalized User Workplaces.  Reduced time to decision and action is  achieved with Process Portal personalized workplaces. Information and  workplace layouts are optimized to  maintenance, engineering, management, and operating personnel  preferences and needs.

Extending the Return-on-Investment of Harmony Systems

ABBís pledge of Evolution through Enhancement (Figure 1) ensures that future advances  in system technologies will extend the life cycle and the return-on-investment of the  installed Harmony system. Other vendors may talk about investment protection, but  ABBís proven programs are truly unique in the industry. All told, from the introduction of Network 90Æ in 1980, through each of the evolutionary steps of INFI 90Æ,  INFI 90 OPEN, and Symphony Harmony, this family of systems represents the largest contiguous installed base of any process automation system in the world.

ABB continues to add traditional DCS functionality for the Harmony system. This  focus has resulted in many new functions and technology updates for Harmony  products including Rack I/O modules, Bridge Controllers, communication modules,  Composer system configuration tools, and operator consoles. The following sections  summarize the most recent enhancements to the Harmony system.

Harmony Control,  I/O, and  Communications

The Harmony Rack modules (Figure 2) have been redesigned with modern board  components and surface mount technology. These redesigned modules are form, fit,  and functional equivalents to the Network 90, INFI 90, and INFI 90 OPEN modules providing backward compatibility to ensure a long life cycle for Harmony  systems.

The systemís flagship controllers, the Harmony Bridge Controller family, have  remained state-of-the-art through annual software and hardware enhancement  releases. Following ABBís commitment to Evolution through Enhancement, the Harmony  Bridge Controllers preserve existing system control logic configuration, thereby providing predictable and risk free evolution for the systemís control execution  environment. The Harmony Bridge Controller family supports all existing function  code execution, custom user programs, and foreign device interfaces.

New communication modules have been released (INNPM12/INNIS11) that support both the Plantloop and INFI-NET communication standards. This offering  allows system users to incrementally upgrade from Plantloop to INFI-NET one process control unit at a time. Also released, are INFI-NET-to-INFI-NET Remote  Gateway modules. All of these communication modules are form, fit, and functional  replacements for their earlier versions.

System 800xA Asset Optimization highlights include:

■ Complete Asset Optimization: Provides a higher return on all plant  assets through optimized remediation work processes and early detection of failure via its single environment for engineering, operations,  and notification.  

■ Automatic Monitoring of Maintenance Conditions and Automatic Alarms: Real-time monitoring of asset Key Performance  Indicators (KPI) facilitates fast, reliable implementation of corrective  actions.
