ABB Ability™ Symphony® Plus Gateway Software

Real-time bi-directional server-client communication Symphony® Plus Gateway Software

(SGS) is a configurable component of Symphony® Plus that provides real-time bi-directional

communication between ModbusTCP devices and Symphony® Plus Controllers.

The Symphony® Plus Gateway Software (SGS) con

sists of two main components: Engineering Utilities

and Runtime software. The Engineering Utilities of

SGS provide a full function menu driven interface

that simplifies configuration for startup engineer

ing, commissioning and ongoing maintenance of the

ModbusTCP interface. With first time configura

tions, as only minimum parameters are required, en

gineering hours can be reduced by using the Quick

Config feature to generate the Mapping and Client

Definition tables. Individual interface points can

then be configured using the SGS menus.

The Runtime portion of SGS performs ModbusTCP

communications to other ABB equipment (e.g.

AC500. AC 800M) or 3rd party PLC’s over a 100Mbps

Ethernet network and remote wireless gateways.

The Symphony Plus Gateway Software is licensed

based on the number of function block outputs and

inputs the interface exchanges.
