Safety
Within System 800xA there are a number of Core Functional Areas. These are:
• Operations
• Engineering
• Control and I/O
• Production Management
• Batch Management
• Manufacturing Management
• Information Management
• Safety systems
• Asset Optimization
• Device Management
Each of these real world objects can be described from several perspectives. Each
perspective defines a piece of information and a set of functions to create, access,
and manipulate this information.
Examples are: graphic, alarm, trend, report, order definition, mechanical layout
etc.
• We call this an Aspect of the object.
It is necessary to be able to implement these aspects using many different
applications, both existing and new, from ABB, third parties and customers. It is
desirable to be able to do this without changes to the applications.
It is not reasonable to require that all these different applications be aware of each
other. Still, the applications must cooperate to provide an integrated view and
functionality of the object.
Examples are: Graphics Builder for graphics, Auto CAD for mechanical layout,
SAP for order handling etc.
• These applications are called Aspect Systems, which implements one or
several Aspect types.

The system has only one PC node, within which all servers as well as the client
applications are installed. Only a few controllers can be connected and
applications are small.
Redundancy
System 800xA provides the highest degree of fault tolerance to meet the most
demanding application needs for maximum system uptime.
Optionally redundant I/O, controllers, control networks, fieldbus networks,
Connectivity Servers, Aspect Servers, and Operator Workplaces with automatic
switchover provide the required functional integrity to meet the most demanding
process needs.

CPU Baseplate
The base plate TP830 is the housing for the module termination board. It is where
the majority of the external connections take place.
• Two built-in RS-232 serial ports:
COM3 with modem support
COM4 intended as tool port for Control Builder
• Two built-in Ethernet ports (IEEE 802.3, 10BaseT with TCP/IP):
CN2 used for redundancy or routing
• Built-in Modulebus for direct I/O communication
• Built-in CEX-bus (Communication Extended Bus)

A Compact Flash (CF) can be inserted to the card slot located at the front of AC
800M controllers.
The card will be activated and read after a long controller reset (or power failure)
and your application(s) can be loaded into the controller without performing an
application download from a Control Builder station.
NOTE! Compact Flash cannot be used in an AC 800M High
Integrity controller.

800M High Integrity
AC 800M can easily be configured for usage in safety critical applications. The
main components of such a system are PM865, SM810, SS823 and the S800 I/O
High Integrity system, running a High Integrity version of Control Software.
The PM865 processor unit has higher HW fault tolerance, compared to PM864.
The added functionality on PM865 includes:
• Double over voltage protection on internal voltages
• Additional watchdog timer updated with data from SM810
• Increased oscillator supervision
• Support for S800 I/O High Integrity system
• Support for SM810
• Increased system diagnostic and online self tests.
The main function of the SM810 is to act as a monitor for the HW and SW
execution of PM865 and these two modules together are a SIL2 compliant system
according to IEC61508 and TÜV qualification is pending. The SM810 is running
a SIL2 certified operating system and have a very high degree of self-diagnostic.

What is a Workplace?
This is the working environment for a particular group of people who might wish
to access the system. In a newly installed system there are 4 default workplaces
provided, intended for various users.
• Engineering Workplace
• Operator Workplace
• Plant Explorer Workplace
• Two Screen Plant Explorer Workplace
In a delivered system there may be more. A delivered application is likely to have
a workplace tailored to the requirements of the customer.
The main difference between the Engineering Workplace and the Plant Explorer
Workplace is that only the Engineering Workplace allows you to use advanced
tools such as Function Designer and Bulk Data Manager.
NOTE! The system extension “Engineering Base” must be loaded
to have the Engineering Workplace available.
Another method is to navigate through the Windows menu structure from the
Start button as shown below:

Plant Explorer organizes the 800xA system into Structures that can be accessed
from the pull-down menu in the upper left-hand window.
There are 19 structures by default. The use of these structures will vary from
system to system depending upon the needs of the person(s) that are configuring
and using the system.
The majority of time we use only a few of theses structures, which are marked in
blue:
• Control Structure
• Functional Structure
• Location Structure
Functional Structure
The Functional Structure describes the functionality of the plant. It is used to
structure the plant into systems and subsystems according to how the plant
equipment operates together.
By this it can also be used to organize displays, alarm sectioning and other
functions that are related to the structure of the plant.
Library Structure
The Library Structure is used to categorize and store reusable entities.
It contains all object type libraries and its versions. The object types of these
libraries are stored in Object Type Structure.
It contains the templates for such object types as the Alarm and Event List
configuration, History Logs, and Trends.
Service Structure
The Service Structure holds the services. A service provides a function in the
system, for example, the Basic History service is associated with Log
configuration.
The services are arranged into “Service Groups” and within any group there may
be one or more “Service Providers”. One or more services can run on a server
node.
Additional Structures
Other structures that contain important information or may require a one-time
configuration for the system include:
• Admin Structure
• Aspect System Structure
• Node Administration Structure
• Graphics Structure
