5.3 Inserting modules in the AC 800F
Modules can be inserted in the FieldController in either the tree view or the station view. After In sert, the object appears in the tree view and the station view as well as in the system view I. In
each case both modules can be inserted in the station view of the redundant AC 800F (AC
800FR) by a simple double click. Insertion of the modules is only possible in the upper basic unit.
The selection list of the redundant AC 800F only offers modules marked with an R at the end, e.g.
FI 830FR. The modules for the redundant AC 800F are identically constructed to those of the
non-redundant AC 800F. The objects in the hardware structure however are tailored for redun dancy and therefore enable both modules to be configured at the same time.
The station view of the IndustrialIT Controller AC 800F shows two basic units, although only the
upper one can be equipped. Otherwise the display is identical to the non-redundant ABB Field Controller 800 with P slots for the power supply module, E1 and E2 for the Ethernet modules and
F1 to F4 for the fieldbus modules.
→ Select FieldController (FC) in the tree view → Edit → Insert.
→ Select module type → Select a free slot
→ Select slot (P, E1-E2, F1-F4) in the station view → Double click
The following modules are available :
SA 801F Power supply 115 V AC / 230 V AC
SD 802F Power supply 24 V DC
AM 801F Battery module
AM 802F Debug module
EI 801F Ethernet module 10Base2 (Cheapernet)
EI 802F Ethernet module AUI
EI 803F Ethernet module Twisted Pair
FI 810F CAN-3 module
FI 820F Serial module
FI 830F Profibus module
When inserting a new object it is given a default name which represents the installation point.
When copying an object the name will adapt to the new position. When moving the existing name
will remain the same.

5.4 Parameterization of AC 800F
The FieldController takes the fieldbus modules, thus enabling several fieldbusses to be con nected to this station, including different ones.
The station must be allocated to a resource (D-PS). This defines which software part of the user
program runs on which process station.

The module service data is only displayed during commissioning if a communication con nection to the process station or FieldController exists at the same time.
See also Engineering Manual, System Configuration, Commissioning.
Serial number Displays the sequential serial number from production.
Hardware version Displays the hardware version of the FieldController.
Software version Displays the I/O EPROM version.
Operating hours
(total) Displays the total number of operating hours.
(Excess temp.) Displays the number of operating hours at excess temperature (excess
temperature in FieldController means : over 70 °C).
Location Allocated resource
These values are only available in commissioning mode.
In the commissioning mode the "Firmware update" button appears for loading the firmware
into the Flash EPROM.
