ABB Ability™ System 800xA 6.1.1 is an easy call to make.

System 800xA 6.1.1 makes your decision easy. Regardless if you are an existing owner of an 800xA system or looking for an automation platform for your next project – System 800xA 6.1.1 is an easy call to make.

System 800xA 6.1.1 makes it easier than ever to implement digital solutions. Thanks to the 800xA Publisher system extension, you can both securely and easily choose which data to stream to ABB Ability™ Genix Industrial Analytics and AI Suite. This data is available in context to various applications, both on the edge or in the cloud.

System 800xA Publisher is a system extension that securely connects and digitally publishes process data and alarm/events to the Edgenius Operations Data Manager environment removing complexity and other barriers usually encountered when implementing digital solutions.

It is now easier to update 800xA installations. System 800xA supports three operating systems simultaneously: Windows 2022, 2019, and 2016 along with their corresponding Windows 10 LTSC counterparts. This, combined with System 800xA’s flexible installer capabilities, allows system owners already at version 6 to update their systems by section, over time, and online, greatly reducing the time and effort typically required.

The new version has been approved for use with McAfee Endpoint Security applications, such as Application Control. Additionally, System 800xA has been awarded ISA Secure Assurance Certifications for the system (SSA), controllers (CSA), and development organization (SDLA).

Thanks to a wide range of OPC UA connectivity options, System 800xA 6.1.1 promotes secure collaboration between systems, devices and applications.

The new version includes OPC UA client and server capabilities at the system level and an OPC UA client for the AC 800M controller via the new CI874 communications interface module.

Select I/O now offers single-mode fiber optic Ethernet adapters, signal conditioning modules (SCMs) with built-in intrinsically safe barriers for both process and safety applications, and channel redundancy.

These additions reduce the amount of ancillary hardware needed to meet various project requirements, help to reduce the impact of late changes and keep cabinet footprint to a minimum.

The Ethernet I/O Field Kit, with xStream Commissioning, facilitates smooth commissioning of greenfield projects and brownfield expansions.

Field instrument technicians can configure and commission S800 on Ethernet and Select I/O clusters with a single laptop - without the need for any controller or I/O communications hardware. Automated loop checks can be performed simultaneously on multiple smart devices, reducing required manhours by more than 90%.
