ABB HC800 Control Processor Module

The ABB HC800 features fast scan times of up to 2048 I/OS, over 2mb of operands and memory, a variety of HMI touchscreens, and effortless local and remote I/O installation. Simple or complex, large or small, a single stream can be customized for virtually any application. Users simply select their preferred HMI, flash on the CPU, and then flash on the preferred I/OS to create an all-in-one controller. This allows the user to select the exact configuration of the device that suits their precise application needs. Single Studio software, the programming environment for hardware configuration, control and HMI, reduces programming time by up to 50 percent by anticipating the programmer’s intent and allowing reuse of written code. Programmers can be allowed to build a library of user-defined function blocks and HMI screens that can be imported into any new project or even shared with others. The software’s wizards save a great deal of time in defining I/O points, PEDS, etc. Drag and drop, automatic line creation and the option to reuse existing code make programming fast and easy. Joint graphics libraries and HMI widgets enable programmers to build HMI screens designed for graphic artists. Unified Streaming supports RS485, Canadian Campbell, as well as Serial and Ethernet MODBUS. The platform can also accommodate third-party protocols; USB host and serial ports support external devices such as modems, printers, barcode readers, etc. The USB device also allows the user to connect to the USB port and the serial port to support external devices such as modems, printers, and barcode readers.

USB devices also allow users to download their programs over USB. Unique applications are an expanding library of value-added PLC embedded applications. These applications allow users to access data, edit data, monitor data, troubleshoot, debug systems, and more. Finally, as demanded by today’s world, single stream platforms can be accessed remotely via PCs, tablets and smartphones, giving end users the full suite of services they deserve. As always, technical support and software for Unified Streaming is provided free of charge; this also includes all utilities and updates. All controllers include 4 auto-tuning loops. The 530 can be set up using the on-board temperature/analog inputs, as well as the analog or pm outputs; all on-board transistor outputs can be used as pm outputs. It has a full-featured HMI with a two-line LCD text display, showing up to 60 user-designed screens, and a 16-key keypad. The multilingual display supports over 15 languages and 20 graphic symbols. The units have 48K (virtual) steps of logic, providing flexibility, functionality, and power. Software features include: interrupts, loops, math, storage and comparison. Communication options include SMS text messaging, MODBUS networking and pc access via MODBUS or OPC. the company’s free software provides a user-friendly environment for hardware configuration and HMI design. Unified Electronics also offers free technical support for all products. The new JZ20-R31 series and ZARZ2 series reduce overall system costs by minimizing hardware requirements, saving cabinet space and, most importantly, eliminating the need for users to set up panel-plc communications.
