Process Station ABB FieldController 800113 Configuration of resource AC 800F in project treeThe software components of a project are clearly displayed in the project tree. The individual ele-ments or objects, commonly known as project elements, are structured in accordance with IEC6113 – 3. D-PS resources (process station) are used for the actual editing process, D-LS re-sources (control station) or D-GS resources (gateway station) are used to operate and ob-serve the process and the OPC server resource is used to incorporate data from other systems.The resources in the project tree must be allocated in the hardware structure (hardware manager)to the hardware objects. This step determines which software programs are processed in whichprocess, control or gateway stations.The process station resource represents an ABB FieldController 800 (AC 800F), on which the re-source and the tasks and programs allocated to the resource are processed. Allocation to thephysical stations is carried out in the hardware manager. Here process stations (PS) for rack-based systems and ABB FieldControllers 800 (AC800F) can be selected for connection of field-bus modules. A distinction is made between redundant and non-redundant process stations. Thusit is already decided when inserting the resource whether the subordinate tasks and programscan be processed redundantly or non-redundantly.In the project tree the abbreviation D-PS or D-PS/RED indicates that allocation to a physical sta-tion has not yet taken place in the hardware manager. Following allocation the allocated stationtype AC 800F is displayed or AC 800FR for the redundant FieldController.A redundant process station type AC 800FR consists of two AC 800F. In each case both Field-Controllers are connected via a redundancy link and appear to the user in the project tree as aprocess station resource. When the process station is loaded one of the two FieldControllers be-comes Primary and the other Secondary. Only ever the Primary is shown in the project tree how-ever.ac008us.bmpGross Automation, 1725 South Johnson Road, New Berlin, WI 53146, www.ssacsales.com, 800-349-5827
