ABB Ability™ SmartMaster

Harnessing the power of installed base data: efficient, sustainable and cost effective

What is ABB Ability™ SmartMaster?

A cloud-based field intelligence ecosystem designed for industrial plants. Integrates processes, operations, engineering and IT into one dashboard. Unleash the power of data.

What is validation?

Validation is the inspection and testing of a measurement device to determine if it is

operates within specified allowable measurement errors. Validation is often used to fulfill regulatory/quality management system requirements.

Industrial instruments are rugged and very reliable, requiring minimal maintenance to operate for many years. In today's competitive environment

customers are looking for ways to maximize profitability - regular product validation is one way to ensure that processes continue to operate at optimum levels.

Validation also extends calibration cycles, which saves money and reduces downtime.

About ABB Ability™ SmartMaster

ABB Ability SmartMaster is a next generation

ABB Ability SmartMaster is the next generation suite of validation tools and condition monitoring platforms for use with a range of ABB equipment. By downloading the software, including the associated Validation Definition File (VDF), you can

Optimize the checking of measurement accuracy without stopping the process. Using a licensed version of the software, test reports can be generated and stored locally for further analysis.

Based on ABB's “fingerprint” concept, every unit is subjected to a verification test before leaving the factory. Based on ABB's fingerprinting concept, every unit is subjected to a verification test before leaving the factory.

After the product has been commissioned, the operator has the option via software to use the factory fingerprints or to create new fingerprints based on actual site conditions.

SmartMaster is a solution that has been developed as a platform to remotely verify equipment diagnostic data without interrupting ongoing measurements:

- ABB DCS and FIM Connectivity

- Cell phone connectivity

- Bluetooth connectivity

- Ethernet (OPC UA) connection
