Library Overview
The System 800xA contains both comprehensive and proven Control and Device Libraries intended to be used to easily design simple to complex control strategies to fit any Process Automation and Safety application, including continuous, sequential, Batch, and advanced control.
The libraries are probably the industry’s largest, containing everything from simple AND and OR gates to ready-for-use self-tuning - adaptive - PID controllers, which lowers the lifecycle costs through significant savings in the design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of control applications and field equipments.
Not to forget unique elements for direct interfacing with variable- speed drives and for easy handling of all the software-related redundancy features the AC 800M controller offers.
Control Libraries
The following control libraries are part of the AC 800M control family and installed with the 800xA system;
- Basic Library
- Icon Library
- Alarm and Event Library
- Signal Library
- Process Object Libraries
- Control Libraries
- Group Start Library
- Sequence Start Library
- Supervision Library
- Fire&Gas Library
- Communication Libraries
- Batch Library
In some cases, specifically developed libraries for different industries and customers extend the 800xA standard library functionality. For example there are specifically developed libraries for industries like:
- Pulp
- Metals
- Building Materials
- Chemicals
Device Libraries
The Device Libraries contains a
full range of field devices certified for System 800xA and enables seamless implementation.
Device Libraries contain ABB and third party device types enhanced with the essential Aspects for:
- Configuration
- Parameterization
- Commissioning/diagnosis
- Device documentation
- Asset monitoring
- Maintenance management (CMMS connectivity)
- DMS Calibration Integration
On a continuous basis these device libraries are extended with devices from ABB and third party manufacturers.
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
