ABB Freelance 800F Pre-engineered displays

Pre-engineered displays

Pre-engineered displays are adapted to the needs of

process control engineering with regard to structure

and information content. The following displays are

available:

• Overview display

• Group display

• Faceplate

• SFC display

• Time scheduler display

• Trend display

• Web display

• Message list and operator hint list

• Logs

• System display

Therefore, most functions already have fully prepared

displays for operation and observation, and can be

used without any further programming.

overview display

The process information for the entire plant is pre

sented in a condensed manner in a single overview

display. It offers facilities for selecting the group,

graphic, SFC, Web, time scheduler and trend dis

plays. Logs can also be called up directly from the

overview display. Up to 96 displays (16 lines, each

with 6 displays per line) can be shown in the over

view display. The group display symbols within the

overview display also feature dynamic updating of

process points, allowing disturbance states to be

detected rapidly through appropriate symbols and

colors. If required, you can also set a graphic display

of your choice as overview display. It then replaces

the standardized overview display.

Faceplates

Faceplates allow both overview and detailed informa

tion to be obtained simultaneously. Since faceplates

are predefined, they are available immediately in the

system following the definition of a process point,

without any additional programming.

This is also the case for user-defined faceplates.

Therefore, faceplates can be displayed on a monitor

together with standardized and freely constructed

displays. A selected process point can always be

displayed via its faceplate.

Group display

The group display is a combination of several face

plates and contains detailed information about

associated process points. All functions, including

controllers, time and monitoring functions as well as

open-loop control functions, can be displayed and

operated.

To provide a quick source of information, analog

values are displayed as colored bars. To allow more

precise reading, they are shown as alphanumeric

values. Pending disturbance states in the respective

variables can be detected immediately through a

change in color and flashing, and can be acknowl

edged directly in the faceplate or message list.

Configured limits can be additionally displayed as

symbols. You can create your own faceplates for

user-defined function blocks.
