Powerful, scalable control platformHR Series controllers are the latest in a long
line of field-proven multi-function rack process
controllers, and include the BRC300, BRC400,
and the BRC410 bridge controllers (figure 3).
This scalable family of controllers, based on a
160 MHz, 32-bit Freescale Coldfire processor, can
be adapted to a broad spectrum of applications
and process requirements. HR Series controllers
feature an extensive library of more than 150
predefined control algorithms or function
codes. These functions provide the power to
easily design complex control strategies to fit
any control application, including continuous,
sequential, batch and advanced control. In
addition to standard function blocks, HR Series
controllers support C programming and batch
functions.
HR Series controller features include:
• Enhanced controller reliability
• More than 10x performance of previous
generation controllers
• Simultaneous support for all HR Series I/O,
SD Series I/O and S800 I/O subsystems
• Intelligent device integration via HART I/O
and PROFIBUS DP V0, V1, V2
• Downloadable firmware
• BRC400 / BRC410 specific enhancements:
– Extended user configuration memory
(2 MB NVRAM)
– Support for 30,000 function blocks
– Flexible online configuration capability
– Modbus TCP device integration via 100 MB
Ethernet port (BRC410 only)
High reliability and availability
With redundant controller, communication, I/O
and power options such as the recently released
MPS IV (Modular Power System), HR Series
controller subsystems provide the highest level
of availability. Compliance with international
standards assures the highest level of reliability
and quality needed to meet the most rigorous
global specifications and requirements.
Backward compatibility through ABB’s ‘Evolution
without obsolescence’ life cycle program ensures
protection of installed investments while
providing the most cost-effective and seamless
way of introducing new functions and technology
into a running plant. Together, the HR Series
provides users with fast, accurate, uninterrupted
control of their process, resulting in greater
production efficiency, increased availability,
and lower maintenance costs.
Soft controller reduces commissioning times
For new plant, upgrade, or expansion projects,
HR Series soft controllers can dramatically reduce
commissioning and start-up time and costs by
permitting thorough testing and pre-tuning of
control loops prior to its implementation in the
field. The HR Series soft controller uses the same
control logic (ie, function block configuration) as
the physical HR Series controllers. Coupled with
virtual communication devices, the entire HR
Series control-based system can be implemented
within one or more PCs which allow for testing
results made in the virtual environment to be
directly transferable to the operating system
environment.

Comprehensive I/O product portfolio
S+ I/O, available for local and remote mounting,
provides a wide variety of input/output and
signal conditioning capabilities. In combination,
these rack and DIN I/O modules can be combined
to form the optimal automation solution.
HR Series controllers can communicate with up
to 64 rack I/O modules locally with additional
remote rack I/O modules connected via the RIO22
module. Use of rack sequence of events (SOE)
I/O modules provides one millisecond timestamp
resolution across the entire rack system.
HR Series I/O module types include:
• Analog input (ASI, FEC)
• Analog output (ASO)
• Control input/output (CIS, QRS)
• Digital input (DSI)
• Digital output (DSO)
• Pulse input (DSM)
• SOE digital input (SED)
Turbine control
In addition to traditional signal-type I/O, HR
Series provides for integrated turbine control
via a series of turbine control-specific modules,
including:
• Hydraulic servo module (HSS)
• Turbine protection module (TPS)
• Turbine auto synchronization module (TAS)
• Condition monitoring module (CMM)
These unique modules make it possible to
provide a fully integrated single-vendor solution
for all aspects of turbine automation. HR Series
turbine modules 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 by several major
global turbine manufacturers as part of their
standard offering. The combination of HR Series
controllers and turbine I/O results in a powerful
governor control system solution.
SD Series remote I/O option
HR Series remote I/O capabilities are further
expanded with use of the SD Series DIN rail
mounted I/O products. Compatible with all
HR Series controllers, BRC300 / 400 / 410, SD
Series I/O connects directly to the controller via
the HN800 I/O network without the need for an
intermediate interface or gateway. SD Series
I/O is configured using standard function blocks
and includes traditional analog and digital I/O as
well as integration with intelligent field devices
via PROFIBUS DP and HART. 24 VDC power
requirements, low module power consumption,
and a module temperature rating of 70 DEGC
(ambient) makes SD Series I/O the optimal
choice for remote I/O applications. G3 coating
makes SD Series I/O suitable for use in corrosive
environments without requiring costly sealed
cabinets or purging systems.
