ABB Symphony Plus SD Series HPC800 controller

limitations of the I/O system to accept the device’s information.

With SD Series HART modules, incorporation of the secondary

variables in control strategies can reduce the overall number

of fi eld devices and I/O channels required. Visibility of HART

diagnostic data at the system level reduces maintenance costs

through the proactive response to degrading performance of

fi eld devices before a failure occurs.

Device integration capability

The HPC800 controller architecture seamlessly integrates

intelligent fi eld devices and protocols using PROFIBUS DP,

HART, Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850. This provides access to a

wide range of intelligent fi eld devices from both ABB and other

third party vendors including transmitters, actuators, motor

control centers (MCC), fl ame scanners, IEDs, etc. Each device’s

resident information can then be used in control strategies and

higher level applications. In addition to producing tighter and

more reliable process control solutions, these solutions lower

installation costs by reducing wiring and system footprint.

Details on SD Series integration devices

The optionally redundant PDP800 PROFIBUS interface

supports:

− PROFIBUS DP V0, V1, V2

− PROFIBUS PA devices through DP/PA linking device

− 1 msec time stamping of devices by PROFIBUS DP V2

− Electric and fiber optic media for PROFIBUS DP link

The CI850 electrical integration interface supports control

and supervision of MCCs, switchgear, transformers,

excitation systems and protective relays via IEC61850. Its

main features are:

− Data modeling according to IEC 61850-7-3 /4

− MMS client functionality according to IEC 61850-7-2

− GOOSE publisher and subscriber functionality

− Capability to send Single and Double Commands

− Capability to send Select Before Operate Commands

− Up to 20 IEDs connected to a single CI850

Accomplished via the controller’s 100 Mbps Ethernet port,

Modbus TCP device integration supports:

− Bi-directional communication up to 4,000 Modbus points

− High availability and fault tolerance in a redundant pair

configuration

− Ability to operate as client, server or server/client

(concurrently) on the Modbus TCP network

− Expanded number of concurrent connections

Field device management

HART and PROFIBUS devices are fully integrated with

Symphony Plus, yielding benefits far beyond reduced

footprint and cable costs. The S+ Engineering tool suite

supports configuration, commissioning and maintenance of

HART and PROFIBUS devices using device type manager

(DTM) technology. For field devices that have conventional

device description files (GSD), a basic PROFIBUS DTM is

available to allow standardized configuration. HART devices

are integrated, configured and parameterized via standard

HART protocol without the need for additional tools by

using a standard HART DTM. The individual DTMs can be

accessed from Composer Field’s multiple data views, such

as the system or location overview and others. Composer

Field includes automatic net calculation and loading

of process items by using the device-specific channel

configuration generated from the DTM.

Based on field proven technology

The HPC800 controller uses ABB’s set of best-in-class

control technologies to build its automation solutions. This

allows end customers and engineering, procurement and

construction (EPC) contractors alike to effectively re-use their

extensive library of ABB field-proven and time tested control

solutions with these latest control products.

Specifically, HPC800 solutions:

− Use the extensive set of field-proven INFI 90 function code

algorithms as previous generation controllers

− Use traditional INFI-Net exception reporting over

redundant 100 Mbps Fast-Ethernet (PN800)

− Extend current Composer graphical design engineering

tools with device management capabilities

Further, Symphony Plus Rack and DIN control networks,

INFI-Net and PN800 respectively, can be connected via a

self-configuring INFI-Net to Ethernet bridge (IEB800) module.

Use of this bridge makes resident data on either network

available for use in control applications or display in the other

system
