ABB Industrial IT DCS System

ABB has designed the Freelance 800F as part of it's industrial IT DCS solution. This solution enables companies to access production information across all levels, including real time. With this new technology, ABB has added additional application options which include:

information management, production planning and manufacturing execution (MES), resource management, and asset optimization.



Here are some of the main benefits on the Freelance 800F;

field devices are completely integrated into the control system engineering, only one tool is needed for engineering, commissioning and diagnosis, all field information can be centrally accessed, and assembly can be close to the field which means a reduction of field wiring and space requirements.



The 800F is compatible with various fieldbus types including Profibus, DPV1/PA, Modbus, CAN for Freelance Rack I/O, FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE/H1, HART via remote I/O, and Telecontrol protocol IEC870-8-101. The 800F controller can distribute processes and diagnostic data from up to four fieldbus gateways. The 800F works with 20mA instrumentation and digital fieldbus technology.

The engineering tool included with the 800F is user-friendly, and users find that they are able to quickly familiarize themselves with the tool. This tool makes configuring and displaying field devices easier and less time-consuming.

The Freelance 800F is reliable and proven technology, and can be integrated with existing Freelance 2000 systems. The hardware can be setup redundantly at all levels including

fieldbus redundancy, network redundancy, controller redundancy, and operator interfaces redundancy.

The Freelance 800F is an excellent, proven, reliable DCS technology that is scalable. As the needs of the plant grow, so can the Freelance 800F be extended to meet those needs.
