ABB Ability™ Symphony® Plus HR Series Control and I/O

ABB Ability™ Symphony® Plus HR Series Control and I/O

Product Overview: Symphony Plus is a new generation of ABB's distributed control system, which is widely used in power generation and water management. HR series control and I/O system meets the needs of full automation of the plant, protects the user's upfront investment, and is characterised by high performance, high reliability and large capacity.

System Architecture: The communication architecture is based on high-speed, high-throughput and high-security redundant INFI-Net control network, supporting multi-node combinations, with high communication certainty and bandwidth of over 300 Mbaud. ICI800 Ethernet CIU of HR series realises Ethernet communication between INFI-Net and engineering tools, HMI, etc., and safeguards communication security through SSL certification.

Functional Features

Controllers: BRC300, BRC400, and BRC410 controllers are based on 160MHz, 32-bit processors with more than 150 predefined control algorithms, support for multiple programming languages and smart device integration, and BRC400/410 have enhanced features such as expanded memory and support for more functional blocks.

I/O Modules: Provide many types of I/O modules, support local and remote installation, HR series controllers can be connected to a large number of I/O modules, and SD series remote I/O is directly connected to HR series controllers, which is suitable for a variety of environments.

Device Integration: Integrate intelligent field devices via protocols such as PROFIBUS DP, HART, and Modbus TCP, and obtain device information for use in control strategies, reducing installation costs.

Engineering Tools: S+ Engineering is a comprehensive engineering toolset for the HR series, providing a unified workbench with multi-user, remote access, version control, and support for visual creation and editing of control logic, as well as the ability to manage field devices to improve engineering efficiency.
