ABB SD Series SIMPLE, SCALABLE, SEAMLESS, SECURE™

SIMPLE, SCALABLE, SEAMLESS, SECURE™

Overview

The SD Series includes a set of high-performance, scalable process controllers that support a

plant’s total control requirements, from discrete and continuous, to batch and advanced control

applications. Supported by a comprehensive range of I/O options, the SD Series delivers

powerful, versatile and scalable automation solutions for plant applications of all sizes

and requirements.

The common controller environment executes demanding process control applications that are

both data and program intensive. Redundancy options are available at all levels resulting in

maximum flexibility and availability.

Controllers connect to both DIN style and traditional Rack I/O modules.

Intelligent I/O devices are seamlessly integrated through industry

standard fieldbuses and networks with resident information used in control and higher level

applications for tighter and more reliable process solutions. Inclusion of native turbine specific

modules deliver a fully integrated single-vendor solution for all aspects of turbine automation

within the plant automation platform.

The SD Series uses ABB’s extensive set of field- proven standard function code algorithms and

S+ Engineering’s graphical design tools to develop control strategies. By using the same

function code algorithms as previous generation Harmony and INFI 90 rack controllers,

the SD Series supports easy and risk-free reuse of time-tested, field-proven control application

solutions.

All-in-all, SD Series products provide users with the benefits of fast, accurate and uninterrupted

control of their process at the lowest design, installation, and operation cost.

S+ Operations, S+ Engineering and other applications communicate with SD Series

Control and I/O over the flexible high-speed, high-throughput and high-security 100 Mbps

Fast Ethernet-based redundant communications Plant Network (PN800). The network-centric

architecture allows for integration of field devices, process and electrical system areas

and business enterprise systems in a SIMPLE,SCALABLE, SEAMLESS, SECURE manner.

Protecting the integrity and confidentiality of system data

Process and power industries face intensifying cybersecurity risks. In order to increase stability,

security and robustness in its solutions, ABB has established an independent Device Security

Assurance Center (DSAC) where cybersecurity robustness is tested as part of the product

development process. The DSAC test facility uses state-of-the-art open source, commercial and

proprietary robustness and vulnerability analysis tools in its certification testing.

All Symphony Plus Ethernet-based devices - including SD Series

products such as the SD Series controllers, CI850.

SCI200 - are continually tested at the DSAC center in different configurations and with an explicit

focus on operational performance. This ensures that all Symphony Plus products are robust,

secure and of the highest quality.
