Satisfaction guaranteed: Better control, higher output and lower costs from ABB's Industrial Extended Automation System 800×A I/O families

摘要

Companies are under more pressure than ever before to run their operations profitability, ie, to achieve good results with fewer resources. In the past, optimizing process control defined excellent performance. Changing market demands, however, requiring faster turnarounds, greater customization and lower overall costs mean that production gains through process control improvement are no longer enough to guarantee success. Keeping this firmly in mind, ABB has developed a system which provides customers with a better way of achieving measurable productivity and profitability improvements. Known as the Industrial Extended Automation System 800×A, it is the world's first automation system to integrate process control with other automation applications. One important part of System 800×A is the I/O system that connects to the process. This I/O system is suitable for remote and local installations and it accommodates a broad range of input and output types. These types include intrinsically safe I/O for hazardous environments - the S900 Remote I/O system - and the reliable and comprehensive S800 I/OO system.
