5 Configuration of process station AC 800F in the hardware structureWithin the hardware structure the resources defined in the project tree are allocated to the hard ware actually required. The D-PS resource stands for a process station.
The fieldbus-based process station consists of an ABB FieldController 800 (AC 800F). The
FieldController takes the fieldbus modules and makes it possible to connect various fieldbusses.
The FieldController basic unit consists of the case and the main board, which together form a unit
which can be equipped with various modules. The module for the power supply and an Ethernet
module for connection to the DigiNet S system bus are essential. Both modules are available in
various designs. The FieldController can be equipped with a maximum of 4 fieldbus modules se lected from CAN, Profibus and serial modules.
The CAN module allows connection of a maximum of 5 I/O units and thus the connection of 45
I/O modules in the same way as they are used in the conventional Freelance 2000 D-PS process
station.
Each Profibus module allows the connection of a Profibus line, i.e. the connection of a maximum
of 125 slaves. Each of these slaves can also be modular, i.e. contain a maximum of 64 modules.
The serial module has 2 interfaces which can be occupied as preferred either with the Modbus
master interface protocol, the Modbus slave interface protocol, the telecontrol interface protocol,
the Protronic interface protocol or the Sartorius scale interface protocol.
5.1 Inserting Process Station AC 800F
The process station AC 800F can be inserted in the system in either the tree view or the system
view. After INSERT, the object appears in both the tree view and the system view.
→ Select system object (HWSYS) in the tree view → Edit → Insert.
→ Select station type → Select an insertion position
→ Select station position (1 -10) in the system view → Double click

5.2 Process station AC 800FR redundant (new)
A redundant FieldController always consists of two AC 800F. In each case both modules can be
inserted in the station view of the redundant AC 800F (AC 800FR) by a simple double click. The
modules can only be inserted in the upper basic unit. The lower basic unit cannot be selected.
Otherwise the display is identical to the non-redundant FieldController.
The selection list of the redundant AC 800F only offers modules marked with an R at the end, e.g.
FI 830FR. The R stands for redundancy-capable and simply means that the parameter dialog
differs slightly from the non-redundancy-capable object. Objects with an R at the end of the type
name enable both modules to be configured at the same time. Otherwise the modules for the re dundant AC 800F of the HW structure are identically constructed to those of the non-redundant
AC 800F and can be used or installed interchangeably.
The redundancy link between the two FieldControllers, via which the redundancy adjustment
takes place, is created automatically when a second Ethernet module is inserted in the FieldCon troller, and does not have to be configured.
The IP address of the second Ethernet module required for redundancy data exchange
must be set in the HW of both FieldControllers to IP address 15 (e.g. 172.16..1.15).
In order to differentiate clearly between the two FieldControllers, they are marked IP1 and IP2. A
redundant process station or redundant FieldController is always configured with two IP ad dresses, IP1 indicating that the upper FieldController is operated under IP address 1 and the
lower FieldController IP2 is operated with IP address 2.
Specification of IP1 and IP2 does not determine which FieldController becomes Primary or Sec ondary. Using the online link both the Primary and the Secondary can be located on top. See also
