ABB S+ Engineering Robust – efficient – comprehensive

Robust – efficient – comprehensive

S+ Engineering applications use client/server technology to support multiple users operating

in a networked environment. The configuration server hosts up to ten simultaneous client

connections and provide users with shared access to system configuration information and

real-time plant data (via separate or combined communication server). Providing a single

source of truth for all data within the system, S+ Engineering eliminates duplication of data entry,

simplifies database management and automates configuration tasks. Information can be imported

and exported in many of the commonly used file formats.

Changes in the runtime environment are deployed smoothly and securely. The strict separation of

engineering and runtime  provides a flexible off line engineering  workflow. During commissioning,

S+ Engineering’s multi-user and remote access capabilities are critical to on-time delivery.

Especially during hot commissioning and project finalization, the ability to commission and de

bug from loop level down to controller base functionality through a common tool ensures

timely and on-budget startup.

S+ Engineering’s seamless tool integration, powerful workflow automation and comprehensive

bulk import/export functions improve overall engineering efficiency. Integrated version control

and version comparison offer progress tracking and significantly reduce commissioning time.

S+ Engineering supports native language support (NLS), providing better comprehension for local

engineers. Using intelligent bulk interfaces, S+ Engineering allows for full control of engineering

data consistency in each phase of the project life cycle.

S+ Engineering allows for easy reuse and upgrade of previous generation Symphony, INFI 90 OPEN,

INFI 90. and Network 90 control applications. In addition, the extensive reuse concept of S+

Engineering allows users to optimize plant design with field-proven solutions based on ABB’s in-depth

experience in the power and water industries.

Intuitive engineering interface –

for today and tomorrow

S+ Engineering’s workbench provides a comprehensive range of engineering tools.

Through a single unified environment, S+ Engineering supports easy configuration and

management of control system strategies, global configuration databases, system libraries and

intelligent field devices.

User management

S+ Engineering workbench’s intuitive interface allows engineers to configure user information

for windows domains or work groups, including subdomains or organizational units to maintain

the engineering projects. It allows for creation of user profiles along with their roles and project

access permissions.

In cases of multiple projects, entire or partiallist of users along with their roles can be copied

over from an existing project to steamline the workflow. This is accomplished by automatically

assigning individuals to one or more specificuser groups for administration, engineering,

monitoring, parameter configuration, simulation,loading, library creation and viewing only.

With S+ Engineering’s granular authorization management, one user may have edit rights but

not the ability to put anything in operation, while another user may be able to configure parameters

and simulate values, but not make changes to control logic documents. When a user is logged

into the engineering environment, the roles are automatically switched based on his/her activity

and role assignments. This user authentication feature makes S+ Engineering very secure.
