ABB PM783F 3BDH000364R0002 Central Processing Unit
Process Portal provides all of the traditional
human system interface functionality such as
event and alarm management, custom
graphic displays, faceplate and tuning
displays, trending, and reporting. Through
the use of ABB’s unique Aspect Object™
technology, Process Portal provides inte grated information access and sharing,
intuitive navigation and efficient engineer ing. An Aspect Object represents a physical
or logical part of the automation installation,
such as a valve, pump or actual batch, but
also process units or combinations of hard ware units. All information, or aspects,
belonging to those objects is structured in
functional windows called aspect views.
Examples of aspects are historical data,
process signal data or technical specifications.
To achieve true enterprise automation,
Industrial IT with SYMPHONY components
go beyond traditional process control to
tightly integrate both control and manage ment functions from the plant floor to the
executive staff. To achieve this increased
span of control, ABB offers a suite of plant
management and control products, ranging
from plant information management to plant
optimization applications.
Industrial IT plant management and control
products improve enterprise productivity by:
• Providing secure, tightly integrated base
regulatory and sequential controls
• Scaling advanced control across a range of
technologies
• Facilitating process information propaga tion throughout the enterprise
• Providing for both adaptive and predictive
decision support practices
• Supporting E-commerce and B2B strate gies with real-time enterprise data
• Imparting protected web access when and
where appropriate
Advanced Control for Increased
Efficiency
Advanced control packages provide opti mum production management solutions.
From multi-variable control applications at
the controller level to enterprise spanning
Pavilion solutions, Industrial IT delivers a
foundation for advanced control techniques
in real-time. Backed by industry specific
experience and know-how, Industrial IT
advanced control applications designed to
insure that plants will operate more efficiently,
profitably and competitively.

Inform IT
Inform IT is the key element of information
management. Information management is
essential for understanding asset perfor mance and
designing procedures for opti mizing assets over their life cycles. With
Inform IT, users increase engineering effi ciency by working in a flexible distributed
environment offering both high data security
and remote access. The platform provides
tools to capture, archive, model, and analyze
data to create informative reports and to
make better decisions.
ABB provides industry specific extensions of
Inform IT – such as profile and contour
visualization for paper and flat sheet pro cessing – as well as other applications where
quality gauging systems are required.
Process Information Web Server (PIWS)
supports controlled intranet information
access across the enterprise. PIWS can assist
customers who have a constant need for
process information and status as well as
customers with temporary requirements.
Optimize IT
Optimize IT’s advanced optimization solu tions address the need for real-time eco nomic optimization in the multi-period,
multi-plant enterprise.
Asset Optimization includes integration of
field instruments to the control system via
fieldbus protocols, maintenance triggers,
interfaces with maintenance management
systems, documentation management, and
audit trails
Process Optimization provides the means
to create and manage process models that
have been optimized using a range of
solutions. This allows users to address
yield accounting, waste, safety, regulatory
compliance, and economic issues
Dynamic Simulation and Training assists
operator training and certification and aids
with design validations
Supply Chain Optimization includes inte grated planning, scheduling and utilization
algorithms and decision tools for production
of specified component quality and quantity
to support E-commerce requirements
