ABB SD Series Green, energy efficient automation solutions

Flexible, scalable portfolio

Fast, accurate and uninterrupted control for small, mid-range and high-end applications.

Operating in extreme conditions

Wide operating temperature eliminates costly climate control

equipment and specialty sealed cabinets without degrading performance or operating life.

Compact, modular design

Sleek DIN-rail mounted design and streamlined vertical and horizontal mounting reduces

control and I/O footprint.

Smart device integration

Seamless integration of intelligent devices produces tighter and more reliable control,

greater visibility to device performance and cost-effective proactive maintenance practices.

Green, energy efficient design

Extremely low power consumption, lead free RoHS compliant build makes SD Series

the most environmentally friendly control and I/O portfolio.

Time-tested and field-proven

SD Series' use of ABB's best-in-class control technologies allows for easy and risk-free

reuse of time-tested and field-proven control application solutions.

SD Series

Green, energy efficient automation solutions

The SD Series is part of a solid portfolio of energy efficient products from ABB, which together

can significantly reduce energy used and often wasted in plants and processes. Combined with

ABB variable speed drives and high efficiency motors, the SD Series can significantly reduce

your energy consumption and directly improve bottom line profits in the form of higher revenue

or lower operating costs.

Controlling your green initiative

The SD Series energy efficient design results in power requirements that are a fraction of

today's typical DCS control and I/O offerings. As low power consumers and low heat generators,

these modular products require smaller cabinet space, without the need for costly fans, louvers,

air filters or forced cooling. Smaller footprint and less moving parts translates in lower design

and installation costs, lower annual maintenance costs and improvements in system reliability.

As an added bonus, low power consumption reduces the system’s UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

size requirements.

By using extreme-temperature rated components (-40° C to 70° C ambient), SD Series products

can be installed near field devices and control elements they interface with, without additional

costly climate control systems that are necessary in remote environments.

As a result the overall footprint of SD Series installations is smaller,

requiring fewer long-field cable runs and reducing installation costs.

SD Series is equally suited for use in harsh or corrosive applications,

such as the caustic environments associated with desalination or water treatment applications.

SD Series G3 coating offsets the need for costly special sealed cabinets and air purging systems,

without degrading performance or product life.

Beyond its power efficient design, SD Series IEC 61850 electrical integration options further

reduce energy costs and losses by providing greater visibility to the performance of

electrical equipment (i.e. motor control centers, switchgear, transformers, excitation systems and

protective relays). Communication rates of 5 ms between the SD Series controllers and electrical

devices improve plant or process availability with rapid response to power glitches or interrupts.

The environmentally sustainable SD Series products are lead-free and compliant with

RoHS hazardous substance restrictions, thereby reducing end-of-life disposal and documentation costs.
