Panel 800 version 6 ABB
A wide range of user-friendly, intuitive and ergonomic operator panels
for process automation systems gives you the right information
at the right time, in the right place.
Panel 800 Version 6
Panel 800 family comprises of user-friendly,
intuitive and ergonomic operator panels that
combine slim, space-saving dimensions with
a comprehensive range of advanced functions.
Adding to the already well established feature
rich Panel 800 version 6 our new Rugged and
Black panels are designed to perform in chal
lenging harsh environments. Whether it is heavy
outdoor use, usage in areas with explosion risk,
or ship bridge use in marine applications, they
are ready to provide you with the information
needed.
Designed to make process automation easy, all
panels are equipped with advanced functionality
for process and equipment control, maneuvered
either by function keys located next to the screen
or by touching the LCD display. Combined with
market-leading performance and stunning
graphical ability, Panel 800 erodes the line between
ordinary Operator Panels and PC-based HMIs.
Panels are configured using ABB’s Panel Builder
tool that contains a wide range of advanced
functions. The functions are tested and developed
with customer needs and preferences in focus
Key benefits
• Easy to use
A fully deployable HMI with comprehensive
and integrated templates and libraries for every
conceivable process. The Panel Builder tool,
with familiar Microsoft® Windows® environment
along with multiple language support results in
remarkably quick, easy and efficient engineering.
• State-of-the-arts graphics
Vector-based, high-resolution graphics in
TFL/LED display, with icon-based interface,
navigation and control.
• Robust and reliable
Panel 800 is constructed in a strong yet
lightweight diecast, powder-coated aluminum
housing. IP65/IP66 front casing withstands wet,
dusty and demanding environments. Operating
temperatures ranging between -30 o C to 70 o C
with maximum 85% humidity.
• Truly open platform
Built on open architecture and technologies
that accompany the . NET framework, these
panels are capable of multi-brand controller
connectivity. A multitude of connection options
are available for local communication, expansion,
remote access and more.
• Try your application before you use it
Nice possibility to simulate and run the appli-
cation directly from the Panel Builder 800
before you use it.
Panel 800 as main / secondary HMI
Variable speed drive/
motor controller etc.
Panel 800 as Gateway
The Panel 800 range is the perfect fit to act as
the main HMI for smaller automation systems,
or as a secondary complimentary HMI for
mid-sized or larger systems. A standard panel
is suitable to handle process information from
up to 1000 signals. High performance panels can
handle up to 2000 signals.
Many process sites has multiple brands of
PLCs, and often these PLCs need to be able
to share data and communicate with each other.
Thanks due to the wide range of supported
communication protocols, Panel 800 can act as
gateways between PLCs from different vendors.
Panel 800 as local / field HMI
Panel 800 runtime
Using Panel 800 Runtime and dedicated license
dongles, Panel 800 applications can be run on
normal Windows PC. This enables engineering
efficient reuse of the panels applications in
situations when a PC based HMI is required
in addition to process panels. Since Panel 800
Runtime can be used to visualize data from up
to 4000 signals, it is also suitable for mid-sized
SCADA applications even when process panels
are not needed.
Panel 800 are industrial grade process panels
and are well suited to be located in the field.
Using the extra rugged panels the HMI can be
brought even closer to the process
