Distributed control system for oil, gas and chemical industries

The power of integration

Operational excellence can only be achieved when various plant entities, departments and personnel work as one flexible, integrated, collaborative team. For this to be accomplished, an automation platform with comprehensive connectivity capabilities is necessary. Integration of systems and applications where all actionable information is available for use in the system can be provided to users in a variety of roles. ABB Ability™ System 800xA provides the collaborative environment necessary for various organizations and departments to work as one.

Your challenges

Features

Benefits

Challenging markets and regional economic conditions make every $ count. Large expansion or new capital projects are put aside and continuous improvement and efficiency projects take priority in order to squeeze every ounce of production possible out of existing assets. Unplanned shutdowns, in addition to added safety concerns, are productivity and profit killers and even planned shutdowns may be postponed or minimized in order to remain competitive. Also, you are losing knowledgeable workers due to downsizing and retirement and replacements are hard to find and justify. And to add to the pressure, you still have your non-negotiable goals to maintain safe and secure operations for your staff, the surrounding environment, and your business.

We can help you:

Meet health, safety and environmental requirements
Minimize unscheduled shutdowns
Increase asset reliability and utilization
Minimize fixed and variable costs

ABB Ability™ System 800xA is more than just an distributed control system, it's the only automation platform that unifies the ability to engineer, commission, and execute automation strategies for process, power management, electrical and safety in the same redundant, reliable system. At the core of ABB Ability System 800xA is a flexible integration platform that allows it to be a world class DCS as well as an HMI SCADA, SIL 3 Safety system, electrical control and power management system and much more.

A plant automation integration platform allowing the consolidation and centralization of multiple systems and applications providing a collaborative environment at a lower cost of ownership.
A comprehensive suite of process controller and I/O hardware and advanced control software to produce optimized control strategies and total plant automation including flexible IO solutions that allow for parallel project execution reducing project time and costly change orders.

Support of popular serial and Ethernet based digital fieldbus standards enabling intelligent device management provides significant cost savings throughout the design, implementation and operational lifecycle of field equipment.

The 800xA operations suite provides a consistent method for accessing enterprise-wide data and built for best practice implementation in areas such as alarm management, situation awareness to produce high performance operator environments.

An integrated control room solution featuring the Extended Operator Workplace and complementary control room design services attract and keep new professional talent needed to mitigate the diminishing workforce.

An engineering environment that includes ABB maintained industry libraries that support the complete lifecycle of automation projects, from planning through configuration and library management, to commissioning and change management.

Scalable IEC 61508- and IEC 61511-compliant integrated safety instrumented system (SIS ) that spans the entire safety loop, including SIL-rated field devices, I/O modules, controllers and logic solvers.

Communications hardware (IEC-61850, MODBUS TCP, PROFINET) and software based libraries for electrical control and power management solutions maximizing uptime and minimizing production interruptions.

Powerful information management software collects, stores, retrieves and presents current and historical process and business data to support reporting, KPI visualization and analysis for better decision making.

Enterprise-level planning coordinated with production system scheduling for batch management provides the agility, speed, and the quality control needed to respond to production demands.

Embedded Asset optimization software exploits the wealth of plant-resident information to monitor, assess and report equipment conditions in real-time to reduce costly corrective and preventive maintenance and optimize maintenance and calibration work flows.

ABB Ability™ System 800xA reduces capital expenditure and lifecycle costs by bringing process control, process electrification, substation automation and power managmeent together on a common platform, eliminating the need for multiple system for your plant. Also, in one powerful, integrated , plantwide system, operations and maintenance are unified, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

ABB Ability System 800xA will…

Provide Reliable, Secure, and Safe operations
Reduce unplanned shutdowns
Mitigate the impact of the retiring workforce
Increase asset utilization
Improve safety and security
