Seamless Intelligent Field Device Integration

Symphony Plus controllers seamlessly integrate field devices via the PDP800 PROFIBUS interface module.

This allows access to a wide range of intelligent field devices, including transmitters, actuators, motor control centres (MCCs), flame scanners, intelligent electronics and more.

These devices come from ABB and other third-party vendors.

PROFIBUS I/O and associated control strategies are configured using ABB’s extensive field-proven standard function code algorithms and S+ Engineering’s graphical design tools.

In addition, these data are made available to other S+ system nodes (i.e. Control, Operations, Engineering and Information) via a redundant plant network (PN800).

PDP800 PROFIBUS interface features include

– Support for PROFIBUS DP V0. V1. V2

– Support for PROFIBUS PA devices via DP/PA linked devices

– Support for 1 ms device timestamps via PROFIBUS DP V2

– Support for electrical and fibre optic media for PROFIBUS DP links

– PROFIBUS DP link rate up to 12 Mbps

– PROFIBUS DP connections over fibre optics up to 15 km
