Easy engineering

ABB’s Freelance 800F control system combines

easy engineering with an open, modern system

architecture. In detail, this means:

•  Only one tool for engineering, commissioning and diagnosis

•  Field devices completely integrated into

control system engineering

•  Central access to all field information

•  Potential savings in engineering,

commissioning, testing, service and maintenance

•  Assembly close to the field and thus reduction

of field wiring and space requirements

The AC 800F controller handles process and

diagnostic data from up to four fieldbus gate

ways. If required, it can also work with various

fieldbus types – in addition to the usual tasks

performed by a "conventional" process station.

Thanks to its compact and sturdy design, the

AC 800F is suitable both for installation in the

control room and for use in junction boxes directly in the field.

AC 700F – the controller to enhance scalability

AC 700F is a process station with direct S700 I/O

modules in a small footprint.

It is suitable for very small applications from 16

to 256 I/Os and thereby widens the Freelance

800F application area ranging from very small to

midsize projects with several thousands of signals.

AC 700F provides superior functionality and

ease of use, with the option to expand the

system size. Like AC 800F, AC 700F offers

powerful engineering options and convenient

visualization capabilities.

The engineering tool is the same as for AC 800F including the advan

tage of ease-of-operation with DigiVis, pre

engineered visualization components such as

faceplates, module diagnosis, extended trouble

shooting capabilities, ready-made system com

munication, event list, alarm line, trend displays

or automatically generated sequence diagrams.

These components can be used straight out of

the box, eliminating time-consuming, manual configuration.
