HR Series Turbine control systems SD Series remote I/O ABB

Comprehensive I/O product portfolio

S+ I/O, available for local and remote mounting, provides a wide variety of input/output and signal conditioning capabilities. In combination, these rack and DIN I/O modules can be combined to form the optimal automation solution.

HR Series controllers can communicate with up to 64 rack I/O modules locally with additional remote rack I/O modules connected via the RIO22 module. Use of rack sequence of events (SOE) I/O modules provides one millisecond timestamp resolution across the entire rack system.

HR Series I/O module types include: 

 • Analog input (ASI, FEC) 

 • Analog output (ASO) 

 • Control input/output (CIS, QRS) 

 • Digital input (DSI) 

 • Digital output (DSO) 

 • Pulse input (DSM) 

 • SOE digital input (SED)

Turbine control

In addition to traditional signal-type I/O, HR Series provides for integrated turbine control via a series of turbine control-specific modules, including:

• Hydraulic servo module (HSS) 

 • Turbine protection module (TPS)

 • Turbine auto synchronization module (TAS) 

 • Condition monitoring module (CMM)

These unique modules make it possible to provide a fully integrated single-vendor solution for all aspects of turbine automation. HR Series turbine modules are based on proven technology that controls steam turbines, gas turbines and hydroelectric turbines in more than 15 different countries around the world, and have been tested, accepted, and used by several major global turbine manufacturers as part of their standard offering. The combination of HR Series controllers and turbine I/O results in a powerful governor control system solution.

SD Series remote I/O option

HR Series remote I/O capabilities are further expanded with use of the SD Series DIN rail mounted I/O products. Compatible with all HR Series controllers, BRC300 / 400 / 410, SD Series I/O connects directly to the controller via the HN800 I/O network without the need for an intermediate interface or gateway.  SD Series I/O is configured using standard function blocks and includes traditional analog and digital I/O as well as integration with intelligent field devices via PROFIBUS DP and HART. 24 VDC power requirements, low module power consumption, and a module temperature rating of 70 DEGC (ambient) makes SD Series I/O the optimal choice for remote I/O applications. G3 coating makes SD Series I/O suitable for use in corrosive environments without requiring costly sealed cabinets or purging systems.

 HR Series Integrating field devices seamlessly

Proactive maintenance through system visibility of device performance — 08 SD Series HART Analog I/O

Device integration capability

In today’s power generation and process industries, only about 10% of field instruments have a digital pathway back to the control system. This reduces smart devices to under utilized assets where the existing diagnostic and connection information residing in the field instruments is not utilized in system operations.

The HR Series seamlessly integrates intelligent field devices and protocols using PROFIBUS DP, HART, and Modbus TCP and RTU. This provides access to a wide range of intelligent field devices from both ABB and other third-party vendors including transmitters, actuators, motor control centers (MCC) and flame scanners. 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.

Intelligent Hart I/O

HR Series controllers seamlessly integrate HART field devices  through a variety of SD Series HART analog input and output modules. Besides the 4-20 mA primary variable, all secondary, tertiary and quaternary variables in a HART device can be accessed by Function Code control applications in the HR Series controller. Data can be calculated, used as part of a control strategy, or for display and alarm purposes at the system's HMI console.

SD Series HART I/O features include: 

 •  Each channel’s secondary/tertiary/quaternary   variables are available for use in control   applications

 •  Update rate of secondary/tertiary/quaternary   variables is less than one second (AI05 and   AO05)

 HR-Series  Securing your control investments

Protecting the integrity and confidentiality   of system data

The process and power industries face intensifying cyber security risks. In order to increase stability, security and robustness in its solutions, ABB has established an independent Device Security Assurance Center (DSAC) where cyber security robustness is tested as part of the product development process. The DSAC test facility uses state-of-the-art open source, commercial and proprietary robustness and vulnerability analysis tools. All Symphony Plus Ethernet-based devices - including HR Series products such as the BRC410, ICI800, ENM01   and IEB800 - are continually tested at the DSAC center in different configurations and with an explicit focus on operational performance. This ensures that all Symphony Plus products are robust, secure and of the highest quality.
