ABBs System 800xA gives personnel from all areas of a process plant access to customised information according to their job function. While this information is extracted from the same source, it is delivered direct to their desk in a format suited to that user.

Rather than make just process control improvements, the system is able to tap into valuable information from a whole raft of peripheral devices and assets that may have previously been ignored.

ABB has expanded the role of the traditional control system by extracting information relating to a host of field products such as drives, field devices (HART, Foundation Fieldbus, ProfiBus), batch management, motors, low voltage control gear through to, for example, the introduction of reporting structures that meet the requirements of the FDA (21 CFR Part II).

The result is access to all the control and management information in the right form, at the right time and to the right people, which will ultimately lead to faster product turnaround, greater customisation and lower overall costs.
