SYSTEM 800X A 6. 1 SYSTEM GUIDE SUMMARY — System 800xA – Introduction The Power of Integration The ABB Ability™ System 800xA System Guide is intended to describe the functionalities and capabilities of System 800xA 6.1. This summary provides just an overview of System 800xA and its capabilities. Extended automation System 800xA’s ‘xA’ stands for Extended Automation and utilizes the system architecture which was built for application integration in a fully redundant, reliable environment. System 800xA extends the reach of traditional automation systems - beyond control of the process - to increase...

SYSTEM GUIDE SUMMARY SYSTEM 800X A 6. 1 — System 800xA – Introduction Operator Effectiveness Operator Effectiveness is the part of System 800xA that places the operator in focus. The operator needs to have a superior working environment to perform his tasks efficiently and successfully. There’s got to be a better way Similar control room issues can be seen all over the world. Operators do not have an efficient and user friendly work environment. They are expected to handle larger areas of the plant and they may not get the opportunity to train on critical situations before they occur. Many operators...

SYSTEM 800X A 6. 1 SYSTEM GUIDE SUMMARY — System 800xA – Introduction Electrical Control System Leaders in the process industry have continually expressed the need for reducing costs, improving plant availability and energy efficient operations. Barriers and past attempts to integrate electrical devices Electrical integration in the past has been hampered with lack of communication standards and architectural design resulting in high project execution and commissioning costs and high life cycle costs. There are too many protocols used in electrical scada systems. Some are proprietary while others...

SYSTEM GUIDE SUMMARY SYSTEM 800X A 6. 1 — System 800xA – Introduction Flexible I/O Solution Select I/O ABB Ability™ System 800xA offers flexible and modular I/O solutions through fieldbus technologies, wireless I/O and hardwired I/O systems such as S800 and S900. The system is now enhanced with Select I/O that allows individual conditioning of each signal coming from the field. Select I/O is Ethernet connected and consists of single channel granular Signal Conditioning Modules (SCM). Select I/O provides a comprehensive solution for simplified engineering, installation, commissioning and late...

SYSTEM 800X A 6. 1 SYSTEM GUIDE SUMMARY — System 800xA – Introduction High Integrity Safety Automation In the hierarchy of automation, safety automation is a tier above normal process control. Whether the process is continuous, discrete, or somewhere in between, safety automation can be found in most facilities and is critical to protecting people, environment and financial investment in the facility, if the normal process control fail to keep the process within safe operating parameters. What is safety automation? Due to these demands, safety automation has special requirements related to how...

SYSTEM GUIDE SUMMARY SYSTEM 800X A 6. 1 — System 800xA – Introduction Integrated Control and Safety ABB defines Integrated Control and Safety Systems as those systems that allows the use of a common system infrastructure and HMI to monitor diverse Process Controllers and Safety Controllers, without Data Mapping and/or custom-made communication interfaces. (System infrastructure includes HMI, Alarms, System Diagnostics, Asset Management, and Reporting among others). ABB has a long tradition in the development of integrated BPCS and SIS (PSD, ESD and F&G) products and solutions and this approach...

SYSTEM 800X A 6. 1 SYSTEM GUIDE SUMMARY — System 800xA – Introduction Fieldbus Technologies Fieldbuses have been around for more than two decades now. One key driver is the digital age; more and faster information. A second, and perhaps more important driving force has been cost reduction from the point-to-point 4-20 mA (or any other “amp” or “voltage” range) solutions that have existed since the beginnings of process instrumentation and automation. In their quest to lower lifecycle costs while improving productivity, companies have integrated intelligent field devices via fieldbus technologies...

SYSTEM GUIDE SUMMARY SYSTEM 800X A 6. 1 — System 800xA – Introduction System Evolution Our customers are looking to improve overall productivity from their installed system by getting more value from it, extending its useful life, and reducing maintenance costs while improving overall reliability. System 800xA offers solutions to these challenges and opportunities, but an existing installed system installation faces many modernization challenges which include: maintaining production and profitability, utilizing maintenance budgets rather than CAPEX, and ensuring maximum ROI and protecting assets...
