2019: ABB Ability System 800xA

On October 25, 2019 the ABB company provided upgraded version of library of automated management of processes of production and processing of minerals with the graphical interface of visual control which main task to display information in its situational context.

According to the developer, the library of process management of production and processing of useful minerals ABB Ability System 800xA represents the application software of the automation system, ready to use, with ample opportunities of configuring created for mountain and cement the industries. The library is developed for achievement of high performance, technical readiness and security machines and units and also optimal and effective work of operators. In need of function of ABB Ability System 800xA library can be installed in the automation system of ABB 800xA 6.1.

According to the statement of the developer, the library is equipped with the updated and intuitive graphical interface for screen control panels and display and also working screens which display information on technology processes in a situational context. It allows to inform on any situation in the enterprise. The updated interface represents a wide range of settings under needs of customers which allow to configure the most quick search of necessary information.

The main feature of library, according to the developer, an alarm system using which operators can detect, identify and eliminate any kind of a production problem in the minimum terms. Especially important technology sections of production process are selected with a combination of the context information and certain color and graphic signals. Thus the situation requiring immediate reaction with guarantee is in the center of attention of the operator.

"After updating of the automation system to the latest version of ABB Ability System 800xA visualization of processes became much more clear. Thanks to the updated graphic means you accurately understand at once what it is necessary to pay attention to. A system instantly warns operators if something works not correctly. Then it is possible to switch easily in the mode of detailed display, to establish a basic reason of a problem and to take adequate measures to return work to a normal bed", 'Razvan Cocea, the head of department of electric equipment and CRH Hoghiz Plant automatic equipment noted'

"Thanks to continuously growing level of automation and volume of the transmitted data, the increasing technology sections can be controlled the smaller number of personnel. It complicates the organization of daily workflows and imposes increased requirements on employees. Capability of people quickly to react and in time to make the correct decisions plays an important role in increase in efficiency and reliability of the enterprise in general. Visualization is crucial process of information exchange between people and machines. The innovation interface includes completely updated feature set more precisely and more visually transfers data to the operator in real time. Graphics of visual control allows any user of a system to find the correct solution in the arisen situation that opens new ways of interaction of operators, engineers and ordinary specialists. Instruments of programming and management allow to connect easily to a system as already installed equipment AVV and the equipment of other producers", 'Michael Marending, the lead engineer of ABB noted'

As the developer noted, the ABB Ability System 800xA library is a part of a program set of ABB Ability MineOptimize which on the basis of digital technologies allows to connect together products, services and technological solutions that allows the modern mountain or cement enterprise to achieve the maximum transparency of technology processes, reliability, performance, energy efficiency and to optimize key indicators of production.
