ABB PM630 central processing unit
Industrial IT with SYMPHONY dramatically
improves enterprisewide productivity
through four powerful, integrated classes
of products:
Harmony Series Area Management and
Control Products – a comprehensive set of
traditional process, regulatory and sequence
control services and I/O interfaces
Composer Series System Engineering Tools –
an integrated suite of engineering and
maintenance tools designed to support
the complete automation project, including
planning and data acquisition, configuration
management, library management, commis sioning, and operation
Operate IT-Process for Harmony and other
Human System Interfaces – a range of
console products for accessing and viewing
data from multiple operating environments,
from process control and I/O to plant
and enterprise information
Industrial IT Plant Optimization and
Management Solutions – a powerful suite
of products and services for plant manage ment and control focused on increasing
asset utilization and on optimal management
of plant capacity

The Harmony product series consists of
a family of process controllers, communica tion couplers and I/O interfaces. Thirty-two
bit processing, coupled with modular
scalability, make the Harmony family a
powerful and versatile performer.
Harmony Controllers feature an extensive
library of over 240 pre-defined advanced
control algorithms and user-definable func tions. These functions provide the power to
easily design complex control strategies to fit
any control application, including continu ous, sequential, batch, and advanced control.
In addition to standard “function code”
implementation, Harmony Controllers sup port batch language, “C” programming and
even multi-variable control. Available in both
rack and block packaging, the multifaceted
Harmony Controllers communicate simulta neously with numerous field communication
protocols.
Harmony I/O, available in rack and remote
form factor options, provide a wide variety
of input/output and signal conditioning
capability, ranging from standard analog and
digital I/O to specialty I/O like turbine
control and fieldbus. Modular I/O packag ing options and high speed field communi cations allow for remote I/O distances in
excess of 2KM. Redundant I/O, at the
channel level, redundant power and redun dant communications provide the highest
level of I/O availability in the DCS industry.
SYMPHONY’S control products support
ABB’s Evolution through Enhancement
strategy by providing backward compatibil ity with Bailey Network 90, INFI 90 and INFI
90 OPEN systems and can execute all multi function processor (MFP) operations. Also,
the addition of Industrial IT components,
when used for non-traditional DCS plant
control applications such as AC800 for
motor controls and remote terminal unit
(RTU) operations, complement the Harmony
family of products. Data exchange between
these areas of control is facilitated at both
the controller and human system interface
(HSI) level.
