The ABB Ability Symphony Plus SDe Series enables plant operators in industries such as power, water, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals and pulp & paper to upgrade installed control systems to the latest technologies, driving efficiency and productivity improvements.
SDe solutions are expected to preserve field wiring, termination units and module cabling, helping plant owners protect their Symphony Harmony and INFI 90 investments as process controllers, I/O modules and automation technology evolves.
Stefan Basenach, senior vice president, process automation technology, said: “With the new SDe Series, we are helping customers across industries ensure their plants continue to meet regulatory requirements while increasing efficiency and adapting to changing markets.”
According to ABB, the rugged control and I/O products of the SDe Series offer an extreme operating temperature range and a scalable architecture within a compact, modular footprint. Additionally, the series features sustainability improvements such as reduced power consumption and the use of standards-based technology that reduces plant owners’ total cost of ownership.
The key principles behind the SDe Series focus on expanding ABB’s existing INFI 90, Harmony and Symphony DIN (SD) systems. For Harmony rack installations, the SDe series offers increased modularity, one to one module replacements and space-fit mounting options.
