ABB Ability™ Symphony® Plus S+ Engineering

Over the last decade, new technologies have influenced immense changes in the process industries.

These changes have led to significant advances in instrumentation, protection, controllers,

I/O modules and other plant automation components.

Integrated control systems make it essential that engineers have a unified platform to engineer and

manage all these subsystems. The Symphony® Plus Engineering tool brings together these various

automation aspects into one environment. It provides a single platform to manage data from

multiple sources. Changes made at one point in the system are reflected throughout the system.

This goes a long way in reducing the time spent in engineering and commissioning the control

systems of today and the future.

Simultaneously, the industry has seen a sizable shift in the demographics of plant operators and

engineers. Engineers in this age of everything mobile, need and expect intuitive navigation

features for interacting with the system.

Designed with such a futuristic user base in mind, S+ Engineering offers an ergonomic platform that

engineers expect.

Market competitiveness in the process industries has squeezed delivery schedules tighter and

tighter, changing the way projects are executed, and with it, the demands on the engineering

tools. With the decentralization of engineering and project tasks, productivity features like

streamlied work flows, multi-user access and flexibility to make changes during start-up and

commissioning are critical to the successful execution of today’s projects. S+ Engineering,

with its unified engineering workbench, provides the ultimate flexibility in efficient engineering,

empowering EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractors and end users alike

with the tools and methods to reduce project design cycles, shorten commissioining and start

up times, and minimize operational maintenance costs.

In summary, S+ Engineering offers all the necessary functionality needed to engineer,

configure, administer, secure, commission and maintain every component in your Symphony

Plus Control System - from control and I/O, field instrumentation and electrical devices to network

architecture, and operations, engineering, and advanced system applications.
