The AC 800M controller 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 support.

Each CPU module is equipped with two Ethernet ports for communication with other controllers and for interaction with operators, engineers, managers, and higher level applications. A Flash memory card can be inserted into a slot in the CPU module to store the application and data.

The connectivity and expansion options make the AC 800M exceptionally open and scalable, that is, easy to connect to the surrounding world of supervisory systems and intelligent devices of all kinds - and adaptable to changing requirements as the process it controls changes or expands.

• • Scalable, cost-effective design.
• • Common environment for process and power automation and safety.
• • Fault tolerance for maximum plant availability.
• • Open architecture reduces lifecycle costs.
• • Integrating, for plug-and-procedure connectivity.
• • Comprehensive maintenance features reduce downtime.
• • Flexible I/O for all plant environments.
• • Wide-ranging control functionality meeting all needs.

Technical Specification

S800 I/O is a comprehensive, distributed and modular process I/O system that communicates with parent controllers over industry-standard field buses. Thanks to its broad connectivity it fits a wide range of process controllers from ABB and others

By permitting installation in the field, close to sensors and actuators, S800 I/O reduces the installation cost by reducing the cost of cabling. And thanks to features such as hot swap of modules, on-line reconfiguration and redundancy options, it contributes to keeping production -- and thereby profits up.

S800 I/O features include:-

• • Comprehensive coverage.
• • Flexible configuration and installation.
• • Ease of set up.
• • Reliability and accuracy.
• • HART pass-through.
• • Redundancy also on I/O module level.
• • High Integrity I/O modules certified to SIL3.
• • High accuracy time tagging.
• • Defined outputs at communication errors.
• • I/O modules with Intrinsic Safety interfaces.

Technical Specification

An extensive scalable automation system for process control, production, safety and production monitoring. Winner of an award for the Industrial IT 800xA, ABB offers with this system a better way to achieve measurable improvements in productivity and profitability.

With its wide reach, the 800xA system stands out from traditional control systems because it includes automation functions in a single environment for operations and engineering: This allows plants to perform smarter and more efficiently at a more economical cost and moreover:-

• • Reduce decision and action time.
• • Obtain engineering that offers optimal performance.
• • Reduce risk with high automation integrity.
• • Integrate information for improved visibility.
• • Improve the profitability, stability and traceability of batch production.
• • Optimize plant operation and performance.

Technical Specification

The AC 700F controller comes in a really small footprint and high signal density of S700 I/O. The S700 I/O modules are directly plugged to the CPU module or can be used as remote I/O via PROFIBUS. A maximum of eight modules can be connected to one controller. 3rd party I/O‘s can be connected via a MODBUS ASCII / RTU serial bus or via PROFIBUS. AC 700F now also offers expanded flexibility via a pluggable SD card for controller backup and firmware update.

The AC 700F controller, as a member of Freelance, has numerous advantages over a PLC based solution:-

• • The distributed process control system (DCS) simplifies engineering, commissioning and maintenance of the automation system.
• • Visualization is directly incorporated into the engineering, making configuration particularly straightforward.

Technical Specification

The AC 900F controller truly extends the hard¬ware portfolio of Freelance distributed control system. Apart from its highly sophisticated auto¬mation functions, the AC 900F modular controller offers expanded flexibility via a pluggable SD card, more Ethernet ports, redundancy options for high availability and powers for around 1,500 I/Os when using the Plus CPU (PM 904F) and Standard CPU (PM 902F) or up to 400 I/Os when using the Lite CPU (PM 901F).

A key feature of the AC 900F is the support of SD cards. Especially the new optional display for AC 900F allows to load applications or firmware into the controller, without PC or FTP software.

Benefits at a glance:-

• • More power than any previous generation Freelance controller.
• • More connectivity with serial ports and Ethernet ports.
• • Built-in SD card support .
• • New Ethernet based protocols – Modbus TCP and IEC 60870-5-104 .
• • G3 compliant as standard.
• • Built-in power supply.
• • Optional LCD providing enhanced security through controller lock.
• • Small footprint.
• • Optional redundancy.
• • PM 904F is NAMUR conform.
