The new SDe series continues to innovate to address one of the biggest challenges facing control system owners: upgrading existing infrastructure without disrupting operations.
By preserving field wiring, terminal units and modular wiring, SDe solutions
Helping plant owners protect process controllers, I/O modules and automation technology as it evolves
their Symphony Harmony and INFI 90 investments while dcs-sis.com process controllers, I/O modules and automation technology evolve, enabling progressive growth with minimal impact.
The SDe I/O family includes a range of intelligent analogue, HART, digital and hybrid I/O modules with redundancy that
can communicate with higher-level controllers via the local bus.
Each module is supplied with an evolved mounting base for Harmony Rack systems and is fully compatible with HR BRC410 and SD controllers.
The SDe Series I/O product line includes digital and analogue modules for horizontal or vertical DIN rail mounting and integration with intelligent field devices and protocols.
Hardwired I/O and fieldbus I/O co-exist, using the same library of function blocks to build real-time control applications.
Legacy SDe series analogue input modules interface with field inputs.
such as pressure and flow transmitter signals, thermocouple inputs, and resistance temperature device (RTD) inputs.
Analogue output modules provide output signals to regulate final control elements such as control valves, positioners, actuators and more.
The input channels of the SDe Series digital input modules read the status of switches, relay contacts, solenoids, etc. The digital output modules are available in DC or DC output versions.
Digital output modules provide output channels for DC or AC switching applications.
The digital outputs can be used to drive alarms and bistatic final control elements such as actuators, relays, and solenoids.
For SDe Series digital I/O, each channel can be individually configured as an SOE (sequence of events) point.
This flexibility eliminates the cost and complexity of assigning additional digital inputs as SOEs in the field.
Whether the I/O is locally or remotely located, SOEs with 1 ms time stamps can be used throughout the system.
The SDe family of ruggedised control and I/O products dcs-sis.com provides seamless interconnectivity with intelligent field and electrical equipment and more advanced applications.
Extreme operating temperature ranges and scalable architectures are offered in a compact modular space.
In addition, the series features sustainability improvements, such as reduced power consumption and the use of standards-based technology, which reduces the total cost of ownership for plant owners.
The main principle behind the SDe range is to develop, enhance and extend ABB’s existing INFI 90. Harmony and Symphony DIN (SD) systems.
These systems are currently installed at more than 7.000 sites worldwide.
For Harmony rack mounting, the SDe Series offers increased modularity, enhanced functionality, one-to-one module replacement and space-appropriate mounting options to ensure seamless growth.
Fully compatible with the SD Series, it supports the expansion of SD systems with the latest technology and I/O hardware and software, delivering increased performance, reliability and capacity.
