ABB 3BUS095375 Symphony Plus S+ Engineering Composer Harmony

ABB 3BUS095375 Symphony Plus S+ Engineering Composer Harmony

DESCRIPTION

SymphonyTM Plus includes a  comprehensive suite of engineering  tools. S+ Engineering’s Composer  tools provide a visual environment  for easy configuration of control  system strategies, global configuration  databases, management of system  libraries of reusable software  components, and integration and  management of intelligent field and  electrical devices.

The working environment provided by Composer simplifies  the configuration and maintenance of Symphony Harmony  and Symphony Plus systems. Composer is designed to  operate on Microsoft Windows 7 Professional or Server  2008 and support both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It is  compatible with INFI 90 OPEN system configurations and  is capable of importing existing WinTools configurations.  Once imported, these configurations can be fully integrated  into Composer and use all its features.

Additional features

Configuration viewing and monitoring

View and Monitor is an optional Composer add-on feature  that allows control logic documents (CLDs) to be monitored  from a Web browser in read-only mode. View and Monitor  functionality is based on Microsoft’s Internet Information Server  (IIS) technology. Using the base Composer functionality, CLDs  can be published in SVG format in a virtual directory on an IIS  workstation. The IIS workstation provides the contents of virtual  directories as websites to any Web browser.

Multiuser client/server architecture

Composer applications use client/server technology to  support multiple users operating in a networked environment.  Confi guration information managed by Composer’s confi guration  server can be accessed simultaneously by multiple users. In  addition to interacting with confi guration information, users can  access online data from a running Symphony Plus, Symphony  or INFI 90 OPEN system by using Composer’s communication  server. The Composer architecture supports one confi guration  server per system and multiple communication servers.

Configuration database

A configuration server can support up to 10 simultaneous  client connections and provide users with shared access to a  system’s configuration information. Composer’s configuration  server manages and stores configuration data in one  configuration database per project or system. This configuration  database eliminates duplication of data entries, simplifies  database management, and automates many configuration  tasks. Information can be imported and exported in many  formats.

Object exchange

Composer introduces a single, system-wide component  database called object exchange. Object exchange provides a  multiuser repository for all standard symbols, macros, control  strategies and control logic templates used to generate control  system strategies. Object exchange is a prominent part of  Composer client applications. Users are encouraged to use  system and project standards when creating automation  strategies. In addition to presenting standard system objects,  object exchange enables users to add components they have  created in object exchange.

Intelligent field devices integration

Composer fully supports configuration and maintenance of field  and electrical devices connected to the HPC800 controller via  PROFIBUS and HART communication protocols. Each device’s  resident information is available for use in the HPC800’s control  logic using Composer and standard function codes. Also, within  the S+ Engineering tool suite, Composer Field is used to easily  configure, maintain and manage intelligent devices through a  user friendly graphical environment via FDT/DTM technologies.

Batch data manager

Batch data manager (BDM) is a family of engineering tools  for creating, editing, managing, downloading and debugging  batch, sequential, and user-defined function (UDF) code  configurations. BDM supersedes and provides migration  from all previous batch and UDF tools. Batch 90 for batch  sequencing and UDF codes is discussed in more detail in the  optional client applications section of this overview.
