Distributed control systems
AC 800M Controller
A Programmable Automation Controller, designed to achieve high availability for control applications in the process industry
The rich function block library includes several types of control loops, including advanced control and auto-tune capabilities as well as integration for ABB drives and motors. The controller communication by means of Ethernet includes onboard RNRP redundancy along with a broad set of communication modules to connect to third-party devices. A superior redundancy concept allows for fast switch-over times and topologically separated CPU-modules. Several CPU modules are available, varying in terms of processing power, memory size and redundancy support. Priority controlled, time-based tasks allow the highest stability in even complex control tasks.
Supporting standard IEC 61131-3 programming languages, Compact Control Builder is the tool for engineering the control code and the hardware layout of AC 800M-eA. It creates logic, sequential and analogue control-intensive automation solutions for all existing controllers in the automation system to be handled in one database. The flash memory card allows loading applications without the need to utilize the engineering tool to support OEM and remote solutions.
The AC 800M-eA for Compact Control Builder is a family of PACs built as a rail – mounted modules, consisting of CPUs, communication modules, power supply modules and various accessories. There are 7 CPUs to choose from, ranging from medium processor power and low cost to high processor power and support for full redundancy.
S800 I/O – open process I/O system
Scales from low cost, standard function to high-end features like hot-swap, HART, time tagging, redundancy down to I/O channel.
S800 I/O is an open comprehensive, distributed,
By permitting installation in the field, close to sensors and actuators, S800 I/O reduces the installation cost by reducing the cost of cabling.
S800-eA I/O Scales from low cost, standard function to
S800L-eA remote I/O Compact, cost-effective I/Os for PLC applications in the process industry.
S900 remote I/O The remote S900 I/O system can be installed directly in zone 1 and zone 2 hazardous areas.
Freelance DCS
Freelance is a full-fledged distributed control system that combines the advantages of DCS and PLC
The integrated environment simplifies engineering, commissioning, maintenance and field-bus management. The intuitive operator interface enables easy operation and diagnosis of the entire system. Freelance is proven for 20 years and fully compatible with older versions.
Freelance Controllers
AC 700F is meant for applications with up to 300 I/O signals per AC 700F controller. This PLC-like controller comes with a very small footprint. S700 direct I/O modules can be directly plugged to the controller module. AC 900F is the most powerful controller in the Freelance controller series.
AC 800F opens up the flexibility of Fieldbus technology and provides access to the Fieldbus of your choice: FOUNDATION Fieldbus, PROFIBUS, or HART.
AC 900F is the most powerful controller in the Freelance controller family. It supports PROFIBUS and Modbus TCP and typically supports 1,500 I/Os per controller in the standard version. AC 900F Lite supports up to 400 I/O.
HMI/SCADA
A range of easy to use, intuitive human system interface solutions for the process automation industry
The Essential HSI Suite offers end users, engineers and system integrators a range of user-friendly and intuitive human-system interfaces.
