Device Management

800xA Device Management, as described within this Overview Document, has been designed from the ground up to leverage the power of industry standard fieldbuses and intelligent field devices. 800xA Device Management lowers lifecycle costs through significant cost savings in the design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of field equipment.

In the 800xA system, fieldbus topology design and field device configuration, diagnos-tics, performance monitoring, document management, and maintenance is performed as an integrated part of the control system environment. 800xA Process Portal pro-vides easy navigation through the entire project or plant, with all information available through context-sensitive menus. The device management aspects provide the means for device configuration and parameterization. Figure 1 shows an example of a Control Structure, a selected field instrument, and its associated aspects.

Figure 1. Field device planning in the 800xA System

800xA Device Management is based on well-defined standards such as OPC and FDT (Field Device Tool), and the fieldbus protocols FOUNDATION Fieldbus and PROFI-BUS. These protocols cover a broad range of applications and are widely accepted in the market. Very often regional preferences or customer specific requirements deter-mine the decision, to which fieldbus is used. ABB’s strength is to offer the freedom to choose what best fits the application needs.

800xA Device Management also covers HART devices. Although HART is not techni-cally a fieldbus, HART devices support access to information via digital communica-tion superposed to the standard 4..20mA signals. Like fieldbus data, this information is exploited by system applications.

Configuration Integrated fieldbus management tools support engineers throughout the planning phase of a project. Selecting device objects from a comprehensive device library provides for easy configuration of network structures.

The 800xA fieldbus management tool for example configures and connects distributed function blocks using application diagrams for FOUNDATION Fieldbus, see Figure 2. Device specific graphical user interfaces, such as DTMs (Device Type Managers), make device parameterization simple and intuitive when using PROFIBUS or HART. To assist in the engineering of large process control systems, the configuration features of the 800xA fieldbus management tool are available in both on-line and off-line modes.

Figure 2. FOUNDATION Fieldbus application

When configuration is complete, additional fieldbus management tool features support commissioning and installation of the fieldbus networks and devices.

After initialization of the network, all device configurations are downloaded. Bus tim-ing and schedule are generated automatically, while device parameters can be dis-played and individually modified online.

Dynamically presented in an overview display, detailed device and block status infor-mation is available on demand.

Various helpful features allow for efficient commissioning of FOUNDATION Fieldbus projects:

■ Optimized download: parts that need to be downloaded are identified. Down-load is limited to those part. This enables fast download up to the entire HSE subnet.

■ Optimized parameter reconciliation: easy detection and upload of changes of a device‘s parameters. The parameters in the database and the device are compared. The user can easily decide whether the parameters from the device shall be taken into the database. Entities up to the entire HSE subnet can be reconciled. Filter functions for efficient handling are also offered.

Operation System 800xA’s Process Portal is the user interface for plant operators, engineers, maintenance technicians, and managers to maintain field devices, variables and status information as shown in Figure 3. In FOUNDATION Fieldbus based systems, where automation functions may be distributed across field devices, 800xA Process Portal provides a range of faceplates, maintenance management views, and status displays for specific function blocks. Alarms from FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices are directly provided to Process Portal via the FF Alarm & Event OPC Server without need for routing through the controller. For further details of Process Portal functions see the 800xA Operations Overview Document.

During plant operation, it is important to identify and analyze abnormal situations quickly and undertake the corresponding actions. 800xA Device Management offers detailed diagnostic functions for communication networks and their associated field devices. Devices are monitored cyclically. The user is informed of degrading per-formance through Process Portal’s Alarm and Events features. Detailed device status information is accessed directly from the alarm or on demand, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Example of Maintenance Workplace easy diagnostics

Tracking fieldbus configuration and field device parameter changes is a major require-ment of the process industry. With System 800xA’s audit trail mechanism, modifica-tions like configuration upload and download, add and remove devices, and parameter changes will be recorded. By tracking these changes in the control system, configura-tion is kept under control and paper work is reduced. For more details about Change History, see the 800xA System Architecture Overview Document.

During plant operation, the maintenance staff is informed about asset and device per-formance health and status. In the case of abnormal situations, information is reported via 800xA system alarms. In addition to presenting alarms to the system user interface, the system’s SMS and email messaging service notifies key plant personnel via mobile telephones, email accounts, and pagers. Fault tracking capabilities help to find the cause of the malfunction. Comprehensive, fault reports including relevant operating

Fieldbus technology has extended the process control system to the instrument level. As such, fieldbuses must meet the same fault tolerant standards expected of traditional process control systems. System 800xA fieldbus strategies maximize field device avail-ability with redundancy at all levels including:

■ Servers and Workplaces■ Controllers ■ Remote I/O ■ Linking devices ■ Field devices ■ Media and cables

ABB can supply SIL-rated instruments for temperature, pressure, and flow measure-ments, and control actuators. Details are described in the 800xA Safety Overview Document.

ABB offers a large portfolio of fieldbus components supporting installation of field devices and remote I/O in hazardous areas.

Intrinsic safe fieldbus components from ABB are proven in fieldbus projects and com-ply to the FISCO international standard. The FISCO model (Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept) allows quick planning and implementation of intrinsically safe fieldbus seg-ments. Through the use of the FISCO model, 800xA PROFIBUS PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus-H1 networks can be easily designed and operated in hazardous areas.

procedures are provided and assist in root cause analysis. Additionally, the fault report can be automatically transmitted to a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to initiate the work order process. Further details are described in the 800xA Asset Optimization Overview Document.

Integration of a calibration management system allows plant personnel to monitor field device calibration schedule, streamline the maintenance workflow and support the calibration procedure.

System 800xA integration of calibration management systems supports:

■ Calibration administration: like classification of devices and descriptions of general calibration procedures for different device types, calibration schedule, calibration history and reports per device and the generation of work orders and instructions for devices due for calibration.

■ Calibration process in the field with a hand-held calibrator and HART com-municator: Providing a device specific instruction list for calibration, logging of all executed steps and results for documentation purposes, and generation of the precise signals required to calibrate the device.

Details are described in the 800xA Asset Optimization Overview Document.

System 800xA offers device integration packages for each of the major field communi-cation protocols:

■ Device Management HART■ Device Management PROFIBUS■ Device Management FOUNDATION Fieldbus

Each device integration package contains three components necessary to manage a field device in the 800xA system environment:

■ Field device library consisting of ABB and third-party device type objects

■ Fieldbus management tool for configuration, parameterization, commissioning and detailed diagnostics

■ Fieldbus OPC server providing field device variables and status information to asset optimization applications and operator workplaces

The device library contains a large portfolio of System 800xA tested and certified ABB and third-party device objects. Therefore the effort to integrate field devices is mini-mized. See section “Instruments Tested and Certified” on page 9 for further details.

Each Device Integration package supports the user during the entire device lifecycle, from the design phase to operation and maintenance. The devices included in the library contain all the aspects required for field device management, including:

■ Configuration/parameterization■ Commissioning/diagnostics■ Asset monitoring/analysis■ Maintenance management (CMMS connectivity)■ Monitoring and operation of device functions■ Device documentation access

Additional fieldbus protocol specific features are supported, see the respective section in this document.

Figure 5. Device Integration Library with device object types

Fieldbus management tools for HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and PROFIBUS provide the functionality in System 800xA to engineer and commission the fieldbus topology down to the field devices, including device parameterization, application planning, commissioning, and detailed diagnostics. The functionality is available both in online and offline modes. All information is routed through the system and accessed through central workplaces, eliminating the need for additional tools or communication infrastructures. System 800xA device integration packages are based on open standards:

■ Device Descriptions and Capability Files are used for FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices

■ FDT is the open interface to integrate HART and PROFIBUS devices.

FDT provides for efficient use of a field device’s additional information throughout the 800xA system, in areas such as monitoring, maintenance, diagnostics and engineering. This will be achieved mainly through the specific Device Type Manager (DTM). The DTM is the configuration and management software component for a field device. It is familiar with all of the device’s rules to ensure the correctness of the device con-figuration. The DTM contains graphical user dialogs essential for device configuration, parameterization, diagnostics, and maintenance directly communicating with the field device. In addition, it enables offline engineering without requirering the connected field devices is also possible.

HART devices may also be integrated via DD technology, which is encapsulated in the DTM. FF field devices are integrated via capability files and DDs, which is the standard procedure for FF. If a Profibus device does not have a DTM, the device may be inte-grated based on GSD files for basic connectivity support.

DTMs offer advantages for both, simple and advanced field devices. DTMs check the consistency of parameter data entered by a user, and the intuitive user interface of a DTM ensures higher engineering efficiency. DTMs are available for PROFIBUS and HART devices.

Another operator advantage is realized when FDT technology is used in combination with the Aspect Object architecture. Without requiring additional engineering, the user can access vendor specific DTM displays from wherever he uses the device object.

Figure 7. Access of DTM displays via context menus

OPC is an open, standardized interface for process control based on Windows tech-nology. 800xA Device Management OPC Servers for HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus are integrated with their respective Device Integration Package. They enable access to field device data, device status, and diagnostic information. The information is routed through the system. Therefore, there is no need of additional field wiring. Device information is provided to System 800xA Aspect systems with an OPC client interface. The Fieldbus OPC Server is limited for asset optimization purposes.

Additional configuration effort is not required as the OPC servers are supported through the fieldbus management tool.

Fieldbus products certified for use in 800xA systems will be included in the Device Libraries. This paves the way for smooth device integration.

The device libraries are extended continuously with new device types. Driven through market requirements individual device types are added to the existing libraries for the three major protocols HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and PROFIBUS. To assure interoperability of the system with the device and the related components, the new device type object is tested against the real device. For the latest available list of inte-grated devices, please visit the ABB website (http://www.abb.com/controlsystems; see System 800xA -> Device Management -> Device Integration Center).

On request, also additional devices may be added. Integration via GSD, cff/DD is also possible, support will be provided on request.

Testing and certification at the ABB Device Integration Center means more than prov-ing interoperability. It means that each successfully integrated device will contain all of the properties described in this document, such as asset monitors, DTMs or face-plates, and device documentation.

HART field communications protocol is widely accepted in the industry as a standard for digitally enhanced 4..20mA communications with smart field instruments. A wide range of products is available today in the marketplace. HART preserves the 4..20 mA signal and enables two-way digital communications to occur without disturbing the integrity of the 4..20mA signal. The HART protocol is field proven, simple to imple-ment, use and maintain.

HART field devices are connected to System 800xA via S800 and S900 remote I/O modules and AC 800M local I/O modules. In addition, HART devices can be con-nected to System 800xA via HART Multiplexers. This arrangement is further described later in this section.

HART Configuration: HART field devices are configured using the fieldbus manage-ment tool for PROFIBUS/HART. The tool allows device access from the control room and eliminates separate service bus wiring costs.

The main tasks are:

■ Managing (add, move, remove, or copy) HART devices connected to local I/O or remote I/O

■ Topology planning down to HART devices■ Assignment of HART devices to I/O channels■ DTM call up from System 800xA clients■ Comparison of field device on- and off-line data■ Upload, download and commissioning■ Configuration of the 800xA Fieldbus OPC Server

With these fieldbus management tools, the user has the capability to configure HART field devices from each System 800xA client using FDT/DTM technology. Device Management HART is the basis for all further HART device related Asset Management Applications in the System.

Figure 9. Configuration of HART devices

HART OPC Server: The OPC Server HART has been designed specifically for the 800xA system. Included in the HART Device Integration package, it enables access to HART field device data without requiring additional field wiring. 800xA Asset Opti-mization can access connected field device data. In connection with Asset Monitors, the Fieldbus OPC Server is used to access specific field device data, device status, and diagnostic data to make necessary informed maintenance decisions.

OPC connectivity is prepared for all field device objects, included in the field device library.

Device Library: The HART Device Library contains ABB and third party field device objects enhanced with the essential Aspects for:

■ Configuration■ Parameterization■ Commissioning/Diagnostics■ Asset monitoring■ Calibration management (CMMS connectivity)■ Operation■ Device documentation.

Basic HART DTM: When device specific DTMs are not available, the Basic HART DTM is used for basic configuration and parameterization of HART devices by means of standardized Universal and Common Practice HART Commands. If preconfigured HART devices are used, this functionality is sufficient to commission a wide range of available HART devices. The Basic HART DTM also allows reading of additional pro-cess variables and diagnostics information of HART devices. In addition, it can force the device’s output to constant current mode, for simulating a certain measurement value. All devices using the Basic HART DTM are presented with the same look and feel.

Figure 10. Basic HART DTM

HART Multiplexer Connect: HART Multiplexer Connect is used to integrate HART devices from systems, such as traditional DCS, that do not allow direct access to specific HART data. HART Multiplexer Connect integrates multiplexer specific DTMs, OPC communication components, and HART multiplexer networks with System 800xA system applications. Standard HART multiplexer hardware can be used. As a result, the benefits of the HART Device Library and its aspect functionality can be fully implemented.

Device ManagementFOUNDATION Fieldbus

FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF) is an open, integrated architecture for distribution of control applications across the network and devices. It provides an open standard for process automation applications and is supported by the major control and process automation product manufacturers. FF is an all-digital, serial, two-way communication system. Two different fieldbus networks are supported:

■ H1 link with 31.25 kbit/s designed for connection of 2-wire field devices such as transmitters, actuators and I/O including intrinsically safe applications

■ HSE, the High Speed Ethernet bus with 100 Mbit/s, for optimized network design and integration of controllers, H1 subsystems via linking devices, data servers, and workstations.

ABB offers a complete FOUNDATION Fieldbus solution, containing engineering soft-ware and fieldbus infrastructure hardware.

System 800xA supports the entire FOUNDATION Fieldbus architecture including High Speed Ethernet (HSE):

■ AC 800M controller is connected to the FF HSE network via the optionally redun-dant CI860 FF HSE Communication Interface

■ H1 subsystems are linked to the HSE subnets through the optionally redundant LD 800HSE Linking Device

■ Applications such as 800xA Asset Optimization or Operations are connected via the FF OPC Server

■ The Power Conditioner PC 900-NR provides a standard 24 V DC supply to the fieldbus segment. A higher availability of the segment can be achieved, using Power Feed Modules in conjunction with the Power Rail PR 900-N or Termination Unit TU 900-NR4.

■ The Fieldbus Barrier FB 900-Series protects the main fieldbus segment against fail-ures of field devices and ensures the functionality of the fieldbus bus trunk.

3BDD 013081 en B

HSE Communication Interface CI860: An FF 100 Mbit/s HSE subnet is connected to AC 800M via the HSE Communication Interface CI860. Up to 12 CI860 modules can be placed at one AC 800M, each of them can connect to a separate FF HSE subnet. FOUNDATION Fieldbus process data on HSE can be accessed from the IEC 61131-3 applications in the AC 800M controller. For this purpose, the CI860 module maps the value and status parts of the FF signals to the IEC 61131-3 signals and vice versa.

HSE/H1 Linking Device LD 800HSE: The ABB FF linking device LD 800HSE acts as a gateway between the H1 links and the HSE subnet. It provides four separate H1 links with independent Link Active Schedulers (LAS) for each H1 link. It supports the standard FF-HSE protocol and can be deployed in redundant mode by using two LD 800HSE linking devices.

FOUNDATION Fieldbus enables design of control strategies distributed between controller and field devices. Figure 14 shows an example of an application, which is distributed among different field devices and the controller. The HSE architecture of System 800xA provides an unmatched flexibility in distributing applications among field devices and different controllers. With the HSE Linking Device, non-critical applications might even be distributed over different H1 links using HSE re-publish-ing without involving the controller. Also different controllers may access data on the same H1 link. This allows for variable strategies for load balancing or separating data acquisition applications to dedicated controllers without the need for running extra field wiring to collect the data.

FOUNDATION Fieldbus Management Tool: The configuration of the FOUNDATION Fieldbus application is performed with the FF fieldbus management tool, which fully integrates the fieldbus topology planning, application configuration, parameterization, commissioning, operation and diagnostics for the entire FF network with HSE subnets and H1 links.

Figure 14. FOUNDATION Fieldbus Application Diagram Editor

Function block application diagrams are used to specify the distributed control func-tions and can be created via drag & drop mechanisms out of the FF Field Device Library. The available function blocks of each device are listed and ready for use.

The function block interconnections represent signals that are published on the HSE subnet and/or H1 links. The schedule of the H1 LAS is generated automatically with the ability for manual modifications. Using the field devices corresponding FF device descriptions and capabilities files, these engineering tasks can be performed without having an online connection to the specific device.

Plausibility checks and automatic link setting optimization ensure the correctness of the network and application configuration. Early verification significantly simplifies subsequent configuration download to the field devices. Parameters and signal values, including status, can be displayed for each device and its function blocks, transducer blocks and resource blocks for diagnostic purposes.

Figure 15. FOUNDATION Fieldbus scheduling

Device Management

3BDD 013081 en B

By means of creation and reuse of templates, engineering efficiency is further im-proved and cost minimized. Templates can be built for a single function block applica-tion or for an entire H1 link with multiple function block application and devices.

Parameter and signal values with status can be displayed for each device and its func-tion, transducer, and resource block. The parameter dialogs are adapted for efficient engineering and commissioning.

The FF fieldbus management tool is part of the Device Management FOUNDATION Fieldbus.

FOUNDATION Fieldbus OPC Server: The OPC Server FOUNDATION Fieldbus makes data available from FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices to any desired OPC Client. As a result visualization packages which have an OPC Client interface, such as 800xA Asset Optimization or Operations, can access the data of the connected field devices. The OPC Server will be configured automatically from the FF fieldbus management tool.

Field Device Library: In addition to the aforementioned content of the Field Device Library, the library for FOUNDATION Fieldbus contains device related function block faceplates. Faceplates are the graphical user interface for the operator to the specific process function such as analog input/output monitoring, PID controller. Thereby after configuration and download, the correct faceplate is immediately available for operator and maintenance procedures.

PROFIBUS is an international standardized communication protocol for the manu-facturing and process industries. Two different fieldbus types are supported for the 800xA system:

■ PROFIBUS DP, with scalable transmission rates up to 12 Mbit/s, optimized for inter-action with devices such as remote I/O, drives or motor controllers. This network provides optional line redundancy.

■ PROFIBUS PA, with a fix transmission rate of 31.25 kbit/s, designed for connection of bus-powered two-wire field devices such as transmitters and actuators. It can be also applied to intrinsically safe applications.

ABB offers a complete PROFIBUS solution, containing engineering software and field-bus infrastructure hardware.

System 800xA supports the entire PROFIBUS system architecture:

■ AC 800M controller is connected to the redundant PROFIBUS DP network via CI854 Communication Interface

■ The Fieldbus Barrier FB 900-Series protects the main fieldbus segment against fail-ures of field devices and ensures the functionality of the fieldbus bus trunk.

■ PROFIBUS PA segments are linked to the DP subnet through LD 800P Linking Device

■ Redundancy Link Module RLM01 converts redundant PROFIBUS DP lines in a non-redundant lines and vice versa

■ Applications like 800xA Asset Optimization or Operations are connected via the controller’s OPC Server.

PROFIBUS Communication Interface CI854A: A PROFIBUS network is set up with the PROFIBUS interface module CI854A. The module supports DPV1 services. This is necessary for field device communication via FDT/DTM technology. High availabil-ity is achieved through redundant PROFIBUS lines and optional redundancy of the CI854A. Up to 12 CI854A in non-redundant mode can used with one AC 800M. Each CI854A can create a separate DP subnet. Each module provides two standard RS 485 interfaces.

PROFIBUS Redundancy Link Module RLM01: Field devices equipped with only a single PROFIBUS DP interface, can be integrated into a redundant PROFIBUS DP network by using the Redundancy Link Module RLM01. Acting as an active switch, the RLM01 converts two redundant lines to one PROFIBUS line or vice versa. The RLM01 amplifies the signal form and amplitude of the incoming data and monitors activities and error status of all three lines.

PROFIBUS DP/PA Linking Device LD 800P: Linking Devices enable the connec-tion between the PROFIBUS DP network with the PROFIBUS PA segments. LD 800P PROFIBUS DP/PA Linking Device is an efficient solution for connecting PROFIBUS PA devices to the process control systems. The modular LD 800P consists of a Head Sta-tion, convert the PROFIBUS DP protocol to PROFIBUS PA, and Power Link Modules, supplying the connected PROFIBUS PA devices with power. As an option, the power link module can connect to devices in hazardous areas (Zone 1, Div. 1/Class 1).

The Linking Device is fully transparent in the network. As a result, it is not necessary to address, configure, or parameterize the Linking Device. The demand for higher availability of the communication network is met by redundant PROFIBUS DP connec-tions.

PROFIBUS Fieldbus Management Tool: Design and configuration of the fieldbus architecture and the configuration of the field devices is accomplished with the PRO-FIBUS fieldbus management tool. It enables the integration of field devices by using FDT/DTM technology. Note, the FDT/DTM technology is described in the previous Plug and Produce section.

The PROFIBUS fieldbus management tool allows for adding, moving, removing, or copying PROFIBUS DP and PA devices. It enables calling up and using DTMs in System 800xA clients. Upload, download and commissioning for PROFIBUS devices are eased. Network information, such as cycle time and device status are available for diagnostics.

The fieldbus management tool enables the integration, configuration and diagnostics of PROFIBUS devices supporting the PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA protocol. The configuration can be performed offline without the connected field device as well as online using the specific DTM. During commissioning, the configured parameter set of each field device will be downloaded with a single mouse click. The tool provides the opportunity to download a complete pre-configured fieldbus line as well as a selection of single field devices.
