ABB Electrical Integration Pavilion

Electrical integration is the next frontier in delivering a unified environment that drives improvements in productivity, increased safety, and reduced cost over the total lifecycle of a process plant. By delivering a unified architecture based on standards and recognized fieldbus protocols, ABB delivers a system where components from high and medium voltage substation equipment, medium voltage switchgear, drives, valves, and instrumentation are seamlessly integrated with the process control system. This provides benefits such as:

The Electrical Integration exhibit offers a glimpse into the future and examples of what can be accomplished today with electrical integration and System 800xA - ABB's state-of-the-art extended automation system.

Significant, value-added integration between electrical equipment and process automation systems at ABB has already been achieved with System 800xA. Two examples shown in this exhibit are:

ABB's vision for the future of Electrical Integration is presented via a Power Management System running in a highly reliable System 800xA environment. Running the Power Management System in this common environment removes duality and additional lifecycle costs, allowing for more comprehensive asset management solutions that improve productivity, energy usage, and process uptime. This application uses Industrial Ethernet, enabling various IEDs and process control equipment to harmoniously co-exist, further reducing design, project, and installation costs. Protocols such as IEC61850, PROFINET, and Fieldbus Foundation are used to integrate REF615 Feeder Relays, MNSiS Low Voltage Switchgear, ACS800 and ACS550 series drives, AC800M Controllers, S800 I/O, and FF instrumentation.

Value Added and Industry Solutions from ABB

Chemical and Life Sciences

ABB's message for Chemicals and Life Sciences is "One vendor...one technology." The booth features industry-targeted solutions supporting Ethanol, GMP requirements, Facility Automation, integrated analytical data, and API manufacturing with Batch Management, all using a single framework. This common framework reduces costs of training, documentation, maintenance, and engineering, leading to simplified regulatory compliance.

ABB's Industrial IT for PAT: A successful Process Analytical Technology (PAT) system requires more than a collection of analyzers, models, historians, and control systems; it needs to integrate system operations, manage data, and ensure proper communication. Effective PAT solutions integrate system operations from analyzer to data manager, interface with multiple vendor analyzers and control systems, and store spectral and scalar data into a central relational database. ABB's IIT for PAT is a robust system that meets these requirements with lower costs for design, setup, validation, and maintenance, using reusable, configurable library modules, mature technology, and built-in interfaces.

The Center for Operator Performance

The Center for Operator Performance (COP) is a collaboration between operating companies, control system suppliers, and academia, focusing on operator performance issues like display design, alarm management, education, training, early event detection, and job aids. The COP's primary goal is to conduct research that enables companies to make more informed cost/benefit decisions regarding operator performance. Research costs are shared, providing benefits at a fraction of the cost an individual company would incur.

Exhibit Abstract: Theoretical and applied research on human performance over the past 60 years has generated data, principles, and practices, largely from military and aerospace applications. The COP was created to determine the applicability of this research to process control. Leading researchers in human factors work with operating companies to identify and conduct studies on generic questions in human control of complex systems. The COP will present its latest findings and discuss future initiatives.
