Smart Information Model

ABB Ability™ Edgenius is the digital enabler for automation offerings. It connects cloud and control environments for advanced data aggregation and analysis to improve operations. Edgenius absorbs data from many systems and devices – old and new – and makes it available for visualization, analysis and action, efficiently and cost-effectively. You subscribe to the applications as required by your operation, and manage and deploy your applications using intuitive self-service tools. You can realize increased insights and performance through advanced applications utilizing Edgenius.

Connect to smart devices and systems

ABB Ability™ Edgenius enables immediate operational efficiency improvements thanks to quick and easy integration and connectivity with existing control systems and devices. It allows distributed control systems (DCS) to focus on their real-time control mission, while data generated from operational technology is collected and analyzed for immediate use for enhanced performance.

ABB Ability™ Edgenius provides OT connectivity to ABB control systems with automatic mapping to the ABB Smart Information Model. It also offers an available OPC UA connectivity tool for OPC compatible systems and devices. The Edgenius OPC UA connectivity function makes it a general IIoT connector to the edge for other manufacturers’ smart devices and systems. Edgenius offers Smart Information Models for ABB control systems (System 800xA and Symphony Plus) and OPC UA for non-ABB smart devices and systems.

Connect to the edge and cloud

ABB Ability™ Edgenius allows users to manage their edge from the cloud or locally. Different data streaming options provide data where it is needed.

ABB Ability™ Edgenius reduces latency, the time needed for data to travel from source to destination, thereby achieving enhanced speeds.

Several precautions can be taken to ensure the integrity of Edge computing. These include guaranteeing each connected device has built-in cyber security, ensuring that all enclosures are physically secure, and using remote security monitoring to log access attempts and intruders. Edgenius computing also allows far more scalability as the business grows and production plants expand. With smaller, more capable computing devices, installations can easily be extended to account for greater volumes of data and applications.

ABB Smart Information Model – offers data modelling of devices, systems and processes from the field to the cloud.

ABB control systems usually are large, with 50,000-100.000 connected assets. Edgenius protects this DCS investment – a simple press of one button will share the Smart Information Model to the edge or cloud. In other words, you add value with digital solutions into your OT context across systems in the enterprise.

Edgenius provides Smart Information Models for ABB control systems (System 800xA and Symphony Plus) and non-ABB smart devices and systems using OPC UA. Edgenius provides OT connectivity to ABB control systems and OPC UA with automatic mapping to the Smart Information Model. OPC Classic protocols can be connected as well and mapped to existing structures.

The Smart Information Models support applications developed by ABB and others in the digital ecosystem.
