Electrical integration via IEC 61850

Electrical system integration with the plant con

trol system allows industrial and utility processes

to be run at a higher level of availability and

energy efficiency. It provides a substantial reduc

tion in plants’ operational costs and overall safety

and reliability. S+ Operations provides native

MMS communication with IEC 61850 IEDs in order

to acquire and display three-phase current, volt

age and all protection values. This native commu

nication is an easy and fast solution which

reduces the cost of implementing electrical inte

gration. Moreover, S+ Operations allows full con

trol of the electrical structures, modelling the

most relevant power system applications includ

ing transformer bays, generator, incoming, mea

suring, outgoing, busbar, VFDs and motor bay.

Integrating operations promotes collaboration

One common interface

S+ Operations provides a broad view of the plant 

by integrating data from all plant areas and sys

tems, including turbine control, electrical bal

ance-of-plant as well as remote SCADA systems.

By providing a comprehensive view of the plant,

it enables the operators to see a complete picture

of process operations which ultimately results

in increased safety and efficiency.

S+ Operations perfectly integrates with Sym

phony Plus control system as well as other ABB

control platforms. Through its open architecture,

it flawlessly integrates with 3rd party devices

and systems. Through one common and consis

tent operator environment, regardless of underly

ing control system, S+ Operations lets operators

oversee and manage the total plant with

improved insight and visualization.

The INSEM01 module is configured using the following function codes:

■ Executive block (FC 243).

■ Addressing interface definition (FC 244).

■ Input channel interface (FC 245).

■ Trigger definition (FC 246).

The INSEM01 module monitors Harmony control units for data on an exception report basis, col

lects and sorts data it acquires, and provides SOE data to human system interfaces for report

presentation after some predefined trigger condition occurs. Digital state transitions are collected

at the HCU level by IMSED01 and INSET01 modules, then forwarded to the INSEM01 module.

The INSEM01 module records the information and sorts it according to time in an internal data

base. When a trigger condition occurs, the human system interface is notified and data transfer

occurs.

The INSOE01 Server Node consists of the INNIS11 Network Interface module, the INSEM01

Sequence of Events Master module, and the INTKM01 Time Keeper Master module.

INSEM01

The INSEM01 Sequence of Events Master module communicates with the INNIS11 Network Inter

face module and the INTKM01 Time Keeper Master module. The INNIS11 module is the front end

for all Cnet (control network) communication interfaces and is the intelligent link between a node

and Cnet. The INSEM01 module communicates directly with the INNIS11 module. The INSEM01

module is responsible for managing the distributed sequence of events system, which includes

managing:

■ 1.500 points coming from the SOE I/O modules in up to 1.000 Harmony control units (HCU).

■ 256 complex triggers with 16 operands each.

■ 3.000 simple triggers.

The INSEM01 module is configured using the following function codes:

■ Executive block (FC 243).

■ Addressing interface definition (FC 244).

■ Input channel interface (FC 245).

■ Trigger definition (FC 246).

Let ABB’s Tension Controller put your concerns to

rest. The controller maintains uniform web tension in a

closed loop control system for unwind and rewind appli

cations. The unit can be interfaced with a variety of

torque output devices to control brakes, clutches and

motors. And in combination with Pressductor® based

load cells you get a package that won’t let you down.

Setting application parameters

Setting application parameters such as inertia compensa

tion, brake hold values can be done on the display during

startup. The controller is factory set and ready to run.

Autotuner

The autotuner is used for automatic setting of the PID

parameters. After tuning, control parameters are deter

mined and stored automatically. If the process changes,

the system can be re-tuned.

PFEA101 Controllers – the easy way to take control of your tension

Wouldn’t you like to forget all about how your tension

controller operates? All those constant adjustments for

fluctuation in tension. For once just sit back and let

things work as they where supposed to.

Description

Harmony sequence of events (SOE) provides distributed event monitoring, recording, and report

ing capabilities for the Symphony™ Enterprise Management and Control System. An SOE event

is a transition of a digital signal from either on to off or from off to on. A series of SOE modules

collect and time-stamp these digital transition events which are then made available to the system.

Figure 1 shows the distributed sequence of events system architecture.

An SOE module consists of a single printed circuit board that occupies one slot in a module

mounting unit (MMU). In general, jumpers and switches on the printed circuit board and jumpers

and dispshunts on the termination unit configure the module and its I/O channels. A cable con

nects the SOE module to its termination unit. The physical connection points for field wiring are

on the termination unit.

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. Individual DTMs can be accessed from the

engineering tool’s multiple data views, such as the system or location overview and others.

S+ Engineering includes automatic net calculation and loading of process items by using the device

specific channel configuration generated from the DTM.

The SD Series` HART capabilities allow users to take full advantage of their HART instrumentation

investments. Too often smart devices are under utilized because of the 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 field 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 field devices before a failure occurs.

Intelligent HART I/O

HART field devices are seamlessly integrated through a variety of HART analog input and

output modules. This provides access to a wide range of intelligent field devices including

transmitters and actuators from ABB and other vendors. 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 SD Series controller.

Data can be calculated, used as part of a control strategy, or for display and alarm purposes at

the S+ Operations 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)

Turbine Control

In addition to traditional signal-type I/O, SD Series provides for integrated turbine control

solutions via a series turbine control-specific modules and include:

• Hydraulic Servo Module (VP01)

• Turbine Protection Module (TP01)

• Turbine Auto Synchronization Module (AS01)

• Condition Monitoring Module (MCM800)

These unique modules make it possible to provide a fully integrated single-vendor solution

for all aspects of turbine automation. Symphony Plus turbine solutions 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 as part of their

standard offering by several major global turbine manufacturers. With step change response

times of less than 20 msec, the SD Series turbine offering delivers powerful governor control

system solutions.
