ABB Ability™ Symphony® Plus HR Series Control and I/O

into a running plant. Together, the HR Series

provides users with fast, accurate, uninterrupted

control of their process, resulting in greater

production efficiency, increased availability,

and lower maintenance costs.

Soft controller reduces commissioning times

For new plant, upgrade, or expansion projects,

HR Series soft controllers can dramatically reduce

commissioning and start-up time and costs by

permitting thorough testing and pre-tuning of

control loops prior to its implementation in the

field. The HR Series soft controller uses the same

control logic (ie, function block configuration) as

the physical HR Series controllers. Coupled with

virtual communication devices, the entire HR

Series control-based system can be implemented

within one or more PCs which allow for testing

results made in the virtual environment to be

directly transferable to the operating system

environment.

Comprehensive I/O product portfolio

S+ I/O, available for local and remote mounting,

provides a wide variety of input/output and

signal conditioning capabilities. In combination,

these rack and DIN I/O modules can be combined

to form the optimal automation solution.

HR Series controllers can communicate with up

to 64 rack I/O modules locally with additional

remote rack I/O modules connected via the RIO22

module. Use of rack sequence of events (SOE)

I/O modules provides one millisecond timestamp

resolution across the entire rack system.

HR Series I/O module types include:

• Analog input (ASI, FEC)

• Analog output (ASO)

• Control input/output (CIS, QRS)

• Digital input (DSI)

• Digital output (DSO)

• Pulse input (DSM)

• SOE digital input (SED)

Turbine control

In addition to traditional signal-type I/O, HR

Series provides for integrated turbine control

via a series of turbine control-specific modules,

including:

• Hydraulic servo module (HSS)

• Turbine protection module (TPS)

• Turbine auto synchronization module (TAS)

• Condition monitoring module (CMM)

These unique modules make it possible to

provide a fully integrated single-vendor solution

for all aspects of turbine automation. HR Series

turbine modules are based on proven technology

that controls steam turbines, gas turbines and

hydroelectric turbines in more than 15 different

countries around the world, and have been

tested, accepted, and used by several major

global turbine manufacturers as part of their

standard offering. The combination of HR Series

controllers and turbine I/O results in a powerful

governor control system solution.

SD Series remote I/O option

HR Series remote I/O capabilities are further

expanded with use of the SD Series DIN rail

mounted I/O products. Compatible with all

HR Series controllers, BRC300 / 400 / 410, SD

Series I/O connects directly to the controller via

the HN800 I/O network without the need for an

intermediate interface or gateway. SD Series

I/O is configured using standard function blocks

and includes traditional analog and digital I/O as

well as integration with intelligent field devices

via PROFIBUS DP and HART. 24 VDC power

requirements, low module power consumption,

and a module temperature rating of 70 DEGC

(ambient) makes SD Series I/O the optimal

choice for remote I/O applications. G3 coating

makes SD Series I/O suitable for use in corrosive

environments without requiring costly sealed

cabinets or purging systems.
