— Flexible Control and I/O solutions Powerful and versatile portfolio equally effective for small hybrid systems and large integrated, automation and power applications. AC 800M Control and I/O seamlessly integrate traditionally isolated process, power and safety devices and systems into the 800xA system environment. This combined environment enables a simplified software representation of the plant, from on/ off-type switches and valves to smart field devices, dedicated control systems, variable-speed drives, intelligent switchgear, protection relays (IED) and PC-based supervisory systems....

— Photographer: Mikael Sjöberg — How System 800xA Delivers The AC 800M controllers and associated communications and I/O options use the same base hardware. A wide variety of CPUs, I/O types, communications modules and power supply options provide flexibility in terms of functionality, performance and size. This modular approach ensures commonality of features and functionality across the portfolio.. Fault-tolerant Design Fault tolerance gives maximum availability. Robust design and redundancy options in all critical areas of the controller and its components eliminate single point of...

AC 800M Control and I/O seamlessly integrates traditionally isolated process, power and safety devices and systems into the 800xA system environment. System 800xA’s family of controllers, communication interfaces and I/O modules match the most challenging requirements in industrial automation thanks to ABB’s rich experience in general and industry-specific process and power automation. Designed for installation in the...

Control Network AC 800M Communication Interfaces Process Panel Wireless HART Gateway Wireless HART and PROFIsafe Devices With the industrial Ethernet I/O network, System 800xA can support protocols from simple daisy chain, to star to ring topologies. High availability configurations such as redundant daisy chain, redundant “ring of stars” and redundant ring provide the flexibility to handle almost any type of project requirement. While fieldbus technologies have long enabled online configuration, provided access to diagnostic data and supported “soft” marshalling and late binding, the new...

— AC 800M Controller Family Through its modular design and integrated engineering tools, AC 800M controllers contribute to lower costs, higher engineering quality and enhanced operating efficiency. — 01 AC 800M with CI modules on left hand and I/O module on the right — 02 PM867 controller with a SM812 module on left side. — AC 800M Controllers The AC 800M is a family of rail-mounted modules, consisting of CPUs, communication modules, power supply modules and various accessories. Several CPU modules are available that vary in terms of processing power, memory size, SIL- rating and redundancy...

Compliance with international standards assures the highest level of reliability and quality needed to meet the most rigorous global specifications and requirements. Together, they provide users with fast, accurate, uninterrupted control of their process. Security The application and data can be stored in a detachable flash memory to secure its contents, e.g., after a power failure or during replacement or transportation. On-board Communications The AC 800M family of controllers come with several communications interfaces built into the main controller module. These interfaces include four...

— Device integration System 800xA is designed to be the best system for integrating fieldbus solutions to meet the demanding requirements of system owners. — Fieldbus interfaces ABB Ability™ System 800xA® has a wide variety of communication interfaces and support for the most common fieldbuses such as FF, Profibus, HART and IEC61850. At the heart of fieldbus technology is a common theme of reducing wiring. Early fieldbus protocols (MODBUS) allowed a single pair of wires to do the job of many. Later developments allowed for analog and digital signals to be carried on the same wires used to...

IEC 61850 System 800xA’s IEC 61850 communication interface is the basis for integrating the electrical part of a plant including Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) with process automation. It will enable users to finally optimize in real time how they use their electrical subsystems within a facility relative to the power utilization required by process manufacturing needs. MODBUS TCP (WirelessHART) MODBUS TCP now brings the MODBUS communication protocol into the Ethernet environment, improving data communication rates to normal Ethernet speeds. MODBUS TCP will greatly enhance...

— Comprehensive I/O portfolio ABB Ability™ System 800xA offers a distributed, highly modularized and flexible I/O-system with an eco-efficient design that provides easy installation of I/O modules, process cabling and connections to drives systems. By permitting installation in the field, close to sensors and actuators, 800xA I/Os reduce installation costs by cutting the cost of cabling. Thanks to features such as hot swap of modules, on-line reconfiguration and redundancy options, it contributes to keeping production up. Comprehensive coverage 800xA has an extensive scope of Digital and...

Hot Swap of I/O Modules All I/O modules can be replaced in a running system and will automatically be configured and initiated. Redundancy Redundancy options in all areas: power supply, fieldbus media, fieldbus interfaces and I/O modules. High Accuracy Time Tagging SOE (Sequence Of Events) is supported from 800xA I/O. The I/O modules are synchronized to the controller real-time clock with accuracy better than 1 ms. Events are time stamped on the I/O module. Following a trip, it is thus possible to determine the exact sequence of events that led up to it – regardless of the physical...
