System 800xA Device Integration package for FF provide the necessary components required to manage a field device in the 800xA system environment, including:
- Comprehensive device libraries of ABB and third-party device type objects
- Fieldbus management tools for configuration, parameterization, commissioning and detailed diagnosis
- Fieldbus OPC servers providing field device variables and status information to asset optimization applications and operator workplaces
- Asset Monitor analyze asset status and condition information
All relevant device status, diagnostic, and process information is available wherever it is needed through the whole plant and across its whole life cycle. The right information at the right time and at the right place.
Furthermore, ABB adds value on top of the pure FF functionality by including asset management components. This allows end users to identify maintenance issues before failure occurs, diagnose problem root causes, and offer recommendations for corrective actions
New devices are continously added to the device library by the
Device Integration Center.
The Device Integration Center delivers pre-configured object types for devices with proven interoperability. System users benefit from reduced engineering time, reduced commissioning time and reduced maintenance costs. Device vendors are assured that their devices and related software components operate properly with the 800xA System over the entire lifecycle. The result will be more effective use of fieldbus technology.
