ABB Ability™ Symphony® Plus S+ Operations

Keeping the operator in focus

Improving operator effectiveness is fundamental to a plant’s performance.

However, with fewer plant operators, a generational shift in the operator

workforce, and increasing complexity and scope of plant operations, it is

becoming ever more challenging. ABB Ability™ Symphony® Plus, with its

intuitive, easy-to-use human machine interface (HMI), leads operators

to greater awareness, faster response and better decisions.

Process operators live under constant challenge.

The operator’s actions have a direct impact on

uptime, production output, quality, and safety.

However, operators are often hindered by a lack

of attention to human factors like; operator inter

face design, information flow and preparation

on how to handle abnormal situations.

S+ Operations HMI is designed to improve opera

tor effectiveness in every aspect involved: high

performance design, integrated operations,

embedded functionality, information manage

ment, alarm management, security, and sup

ported with a flexible, scalable fault-tolerant

design. Further, an extended operator workplace

console keeps the ‘operator in focus’ by providing

unparalleled operator ergonomics, control room

consolidation and a pre-integrated large screen

operator view display for clear and concise

plant-wide visualization.
