Open Lab

    Empower your own innovation with a co-design approach where hardware and software evolve together. Simulate, validate and refine smart low-voltage systems, in a safe, quick and cost-effective way.

    Did you know?

    > 60% of complex projects exceed their initial budget estimates.
    > 73% of mega projects experience schedule delay.
    > 20% extra costs are due to regulatory compliance and complex design.

    Our ABB Open Lab can help you reduce costs, meet deadlines, and increase reliability through a range of services:

    • Tailored demonstration sessions
    • Co-designed advanced logics
    • Simulation of the customer’s plant
    • FAT documentation
    • Validation and testing of the proposal

    We support our customers through a collaborative approach to develop their projects, while they retain full ownership and responsibility for the design.

    Explore what we can do together

    LOGIC SELECTIVITY

    Better understand logic selectivity, Directional (D) Protection, Ekip Link, IEC 61850. Analyze and simulate the plant. Create a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) document. Verify the designed logics.

    ATS

    Analyze the scenario. Choose the most suitable solution for embedded Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) scenario: Main – Gen, Main – Tie – Main with either open or close transition. Verify the choices done. Simulate the conditions.

    COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

    Deep dive on supported communication protocols among: Modbus TCP/RTU, Profinet, Profibus, IEC 61850, Ethernet/IP, Link. Simulate critical conditions. Analyze the exchanged messages.

    CUSTOM LOGIC

    Get to know Custom Logics tool on SACE Emax 3. Analyze the specific need. Write the logic, create the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) document. Simulate the plant and test the designed logic.

    DEVICE INTEGRATION

    Integrate ABB and third-party devices in plants, no matter if they are real or simulated ones. Check devices’ performances in the system. 

    ELECTRICAL INTERLOCK

    Understand customer requirement, simulate the plant with all the critical conditions. Create a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) document. Verify the designed logic.

    We turn ideas into reality

    Through simulation, we co-design advanced logic with our customers by replicating their real plant, anticipating issues, and reducing costs.

    Sensors behavior and electrical signals are digitally emulated, enabling the device to operate exactly as it would in a real installation.

    Customers can:

    - Adjust settings and parameters with Ekip Connect or Epic Mobile App
    - Program advanced logic with Ekip Connect
    - Use communication modules.
    - Connect to the cloud via Ekip Connect or the EPiC Mobile App

    Explore one of the setups we use for hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
