ABB’s new SDe Series improves plant reliability and efficiency with seamless automation system upgrade
ABB Ability Symphony Plus SDe Series continues to innovate and modernise legacy process control system installations with minimal risk and disruption to the plant
Control system upgrades are key to future-proofing, protecting and optimising plant operations across all industries
Plant managers can reuse existing cabinets, field wiring, terminal equipment and cabling to plan progressive system upgrades
ABB has introduced the ABB Capability™ Symphony Plus SDe series is a portfolio of hardware products that
helps modernise existing process control system installations while minimising risk and disruption to plant operations.
The new series enables power, water, oil and gas, pharmaceutical and pulp and paper
plant operators in industries such as power, water, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals and pulp and paper to upgrade their installed control systems to the latest technology, thereby improving efficiency and productivity.
The new SDe series continues to innovate to address one of the biggest challenges www.honeywell-diver.com facing control system owners: upgrading existing infrastructure without disrupting operations.
By preserving field wiring, terminal units and modular wiring, SDe solutions
Helping plant owners protect process controllers, I/O modules and automation technology as it evolves
their Symphony Harmony and INFI 90 investments while process controllers, I/O modules and automation technology evolve, enabling progressive growth with minimal impact.
The SDe I/O family includes a range of intelligent analogue, HART, digital and hybrid I/O modules with redundancy that
can communicate with higher-level controllers via the local bus.
Each module is supplied with an evolved mounting base for Harmony Rack systems and is fully compatible with HR BRC410 and SD controllers.
The SDe Series I/O product line includes digital and analogue modules for horizontal or vertical DIN rail mounting and integration with intelligent field devices and protocols.
Hardwired I/O and fieldbus I/O co-exist, using the same library of function blocks to build real-time control applications.
Legacy SDe series analogue input modules interface with field inputs.
such as pressure and flow transmitter signals, thermocouple inputs, and resistance temperature device (RTD) inputs.
Analogue output modules provide output signals to regulate final control elements such as control valves, positioners, actuators and more.
The input channels of the SDe Series digital input modules read the status of switches, relay contacts, solenoids, etc. The digital output modules are available in DC or DC output versions.
Digital output modules provide output channels for DC or AC switching applications.
The digital outputs can be used to drive alarms and bistatic final control elements such as actuators, relays, and solenoids.
For SDe Series digital I/O, each channel can be individually configured as an SOE (sequence of events) point.
This flexibility eliminates the cost and complexity of assigning additional digital inputs as SOEs in the field.
Whether the I/O is locally or remotely located, SOEs with 1 ms time stamps can be used throughout the system.
The SDe family of ruggedised control and I/O products provides seamless interconnectivity with intelligent field and electrical equipment and more advanced applications.
Extreme operating temperature ranges and scalable architectures are offered in a compact modular space.
In addition, the series features sustainability improvements, such as reduced power consumption and the use of standards-based technology, which reduces the total cost of ownership for plant owners.
The main principle behind the SDe range is to develop, enhance and extend ABB’s existing INFI 90. Harmony and Symphony DIN (SD) systems.
These systems are currently installed at more than 7.000 sites worldwide.
For Harmony rack mounting, the SDe Series offers increased modularity, enhanced functionality, one-to-one module replacement and space-appropriate mounting options to ensure seamless growth.
Fully compatible with the SD Series, it supports the expansion of SD systems with the latest technology and I/O hardware and software, delivering increased performance, reliability and capacity.
