ABB XO08R2 1SBP260109R1001 Expansion module
Device integration capabilityIn today’s power generation and process
industries, only about 10% of field instruments
have a digital pathway back to the control
system. This reduces smart devices to under utilized assets where the existing diagnostic
and connection information residing in the field
instruments is not utilized in system operations.
The HR Series seamlessly integrates intelligent
field devices and protocols using PROFIBUS DP,
HART, and Modbus TCP and RTU. This provides
access to a wide range of intelligent field devices
from both ABB and other third-party vendors
including transmitters, actuators, motor control
centers (MCC) and flame scanners. Each device’s
resident information can then be used in control
strategies and higher level applications. In
addition to producing tighter and more reliable
process control solutions, these solutions lower
installation costs by reducing wiring and system
footprint.

Intelligent Hart I/O
HR Series controllers seamlessly integrate HART
field devices through a variety of SD Series HART
analog input and output modules. Besides the
4-20 mA primary variable, all secondary, tertiary
and quaternary variables in a HART device can be
accessed by Function Code control applications
in the HR Series controller. Data can be calculated,
used as part of a control strategy, or for display
and alarm purposes at the system's HMI console.
SD Series HART I/O features include:
• Each channel’s secondary/tertiary/quaternary
variables are available for use in control
applications
• Update rate of secondary/tertiary/quaternary
variables is less than one second (AI05 and AO05)
