Introducing the SD Series

Flexible automation for a changing world

In our increasingly interconnected digital world, transformative collaborative

business opportunities are everywhere  – increasing productivity, improving

performance, greater efficiencies and smarter operations.

Consider in a typical production plant, terabytes of data is generated daily by equipment,

smart devices, and process and business systems – more data produced in one day than in a full

month just ten years ago. For plant managers in the power and process industries, the challenge

is to find a flexible automation solution that seamlessly adapts leading digital technology

for smarter, safer and more reliable control.

Introducing the newest addition to the ABB Ability Symphony Plus family: the SD Series –

a green portfolio of completely scalable control and I/O products that deliver a total plant

automation solution for your process regardless of application type, size or physical setting.

Energy efficient, compact, and providing a digital infrastructure to seamlessly integrate

smart field devices makes SD Series the best automation solution for your new installation,

upgrade or expansion.

Designed for total plant automation for a wide and varied set of process applications, the SD

Series features modular DIN rail packaging, a flexible, high-performance Fast Ethernet-based

plant network, and intelligent electrical and field device integration via PROFIBUS, HART,

IEC 61850. IEC 60870-5-104. DNP 3.0 and Modbus TCP communication protocols.

The SD Series also protects investments made in previous controllers, while delivering higher

performance, reliability and capacity.

From design conception through start-up and commissioning, the SD Series helps

reduce project deployment costs by:

• Minimizing DCS and extended support footprint

• Simplifying design complexity

• Compressing project schedules

Once in operation, the SD Series lowers total cost of ownership by:

• Increasing process reliability

• Minimizing equipment downtime

• Improving production yields

• Reducing maintenance and support costs

• Reusing physical and intellectual asset investments

• Enabling new products and functions to be added with ease
