With the compact control system Freelance 800F, which unites traditional process control technology with company management, ABB provides powerful automation that is not only cost-effective in terms of hardware and software. Even is it also very easy to creating user software. Freelance 800F allows for consistent configuration, commissioning and diagnosis – from graphic displays to field devices - with only one engineering tool.
The operator level
Freelance 800F is divided into an operator level and a process level. The operator level contains the functions for operation and observation, archives and logs, trends and alarms.
The process level
Open-loop and closed-loop control functions are processed in the controllers AC 800F and AC 700F. For the field level, ABB offers an extensive selection of devices that are fine-tuned to meet the needs of the relevant area of use. Thanks to established communication standards, integration into the process level is quite simple.
- Using Profibus connected with the AC 800F controller, it is also possible to implement remote I/Os. In the form of its S800 and S900 I/O systems.
- Freelance 800F support the entire FF architecture via High Speed Ethernet (HSE) connection to AC 800F controller.
- Radically simple in use are AC 700F´s local S700 I/Os for a direct plug to the field. Together with the advantages of Ethernet AC 700F can be placed directly in the field where needed as competitive, intelligent network I/O.
- ABB provides the ideal means of connecting a large number of sensors and actuators.
