SD Series

Green, energy efficient automation solutions

The SD Series is part of a solid portfolio of energy efficient products from ABB, which together

can significantly reduce energy used and often wasted in plants and processes. Combined with

ABB variable speed drives and high efficiency motors, the SD Series can significantly reduce

your energy consumption and directly improve bottom line profits in the form of higher revenue

or lower operating costs.

Controlling your green initiative

The SD Series energy efficient design results in power requirements that are a fraction of

today’s typical DCS control and I/O offerings. As low power consumers and low heat generators,

these modular products require smaller cabinet space, without the need for costly fans, louvers,

air filters or forced cooling. Smaller footprint and less moving parts translates in lower design

and installation costs, lower annual maintenance costs and improvements in system reliability.

As an added bonus, low power consumption reduces the system’s UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

size requirements.

Beyond its power efficient design, SD Series IEC 61850 electrical integration options further

reduce energy costs and losses by providing greater visibility to the performance of

electrical equipment (i.e. motor control centers, switchgear, transformers, excitation systems and

protective relays). Communication rates of 5 ms between the SD Series controllers and electrical

devices improve plant or process availability with rapid response to power glitches or interrupts.

The environmentally sustainable SD Series products are lead-free and compliant with

RoHS hazardous substance restrictions, thereby reducing end-of-life disposal and documentation costs.
