ABB Panel 800

ABB Panel 800

DESCRIPTION

Panel 800 family comprises of user-friendly,  intuitive and ergonomic operator panels that  combine slim, space-saving dimensions with  a comprehensive range of advanced functions.  

Adding to the already well established feature  rich Panel 800 version 6 our new Rugged and  Black panels are designed to perform in challenging harsh environments. Whether it is heavy  outdoor use, usage in areas with explosion risk,  or ship bridge use in marine applications, they  are ready to provide you with the information  needed.

Designed to make process automation easy, all  panels are equipped with advanced functionality  for process and equipment control, maneuvered  either by function keys located next to the screen  or by touching the LCD display. Combined with  market-leading performance and stunning  graphical ability, Panel 800 erodes the line between  ordinary Operator Panels and PC-based HMIs.

Panels are configured using ABB’s Panel Builder  tool that contains a wide range of advanced  functions. The functions are tested and developed  with customer needs and preferences in focus.

Key benefits

•Easy to use 

A fully deployable HMI with comprehensive  and integrated templates and libraries for every  conceivable process. The Panel Builder tool,  with familiar Microsoft® Windows® environment along with multiple language support results in  remarkably quick, easy and efficient engineering.

• State-of-the-arts graphics

Vector-based, high-resolution graphics in  TFL/LED display, with icon-based interface,  navigation and control.

• Robust and reliable

Panel 800 is constructed in a strong yet  lightweight diecast, powder-coated aluminum  housing. IP65/IP66 front casing withstands wet,  dusty and demanding environments. Operating  temperatures ranging between -30 o C to 70 o C  with maximum 85% humidity.

• Truly open platform

Built on open architecture and technologies that accompany the .NET framework, these  panels are capable of multi-brand controller  connectivity. A multitude of connection options  are available for local communication, expansion,  remote access and more.

• Try your application before you use it

Nice possibility to simulate and run the application directly from the Panel Builder 800  before you use it.

Panel 800 as main / secondary HMI

The Panel 800 range is the perfect fit to act as  the main HMI for smaller automation systems,  or as a secondary complimentary HMI for  mid-sized or larger systems. A standard panel  is suitable to handle process information from  up to 1000 signals. High performance panels can  handle up to 2000 signals.

Panel 800 runtime

Using Panel 800 Runtime and dedicated license  dongles, Panel 800 applications can be run on  normal Windows PC. This enables engineering  efficient reuse of the panels applications in  situations when a PC based HMI is required  in addition to process panels. Since Panel 800  Runtime can be used to visualize data from up  to 4000 signals, it is also suitable for mid-sized  SCADA applications even when process panels  are not needed.

Panel 800 as Gateway

Many process sites has multiple brands of  PLCs, and often these PLCs need to be able  to share data and communicate with each other.  Thanks due to the wide range of supported  communication protocols, Panel 800 can act as  gateways between PLCs from different vendors.

Panel 800 as local / field HMI

Panel 800 are industrial grade process panels  and are well suited to be located in the field.  Using the extra rugged panels the HMI can be  brought even closer to the process.

Animated labels increase efficiency

Animated, scrolling text and labels solve the  problem of showing a large amount of important  information in a very small area. The user can  select the speed, direction and color of the  information on process statuses, production  data, instructions and alarms.

Multiple languages

Panel 800 features unlimited support for different  languages. Furthermore, the selected language  can be changed in runtime based on, for example,  a tag value. In addition, the Panel Builder  engineering tool supports eight languages.
