300-line Industry-leading full voltage motor control

The 300-line of NEMA-rated controls offers dependability and long-term  performance for the

most demanding industrial installations. And with all the options available, 

you can match the 300-line to your toughest applications.

Simplicity and durability are key to the 300-line.

The unique design allows for contact inspection or coil change-outs in just seconds, and contact

replacement in a matter of minutes. There’s no need to use tools to remove the starter or

contactor from the enclosure, or to remove control or power wires.

Two options for motor protection

• Three-leg block overload relays feature dual bimetal overload protection and

adjustable ±10% trip current for added flexibility

• Solid-state overload relays provide added motor protection for critical processes,

feature selectable 10/20/30 trip class for application flexibility and surface-mount

technology for increased reliability

Largest selection of modification and accessory kits

• Cost-effective solutions

• Allows for application and configuration flexibility

• Kits include auxiliary contacts, coils, surge-suppression, fifth-pole, mechanical  interlocks,

control circuit fusing, NEMA type enclosures, selector switches, indicating lights, control

transformers, space heaters and more

Participant Profile

This training is targeted to system and application engineers, commissioning and

maintenance personnel, service engineers and system integrators.

Prerequisites

Students should have basic knowledge of Windows 10. Windows Server 2019. and Office

2016/2019. They should also have attended the course M202 or S301 or S312. S336. S341 S+

classes, 800xA Harmony connect T321 have a basic knowledge about the fundamentals of

Process Control Systems.

ABB Ability Symphony Plus SDe introduces a space-fit solution that allows for incremental,  in

place upgrades. This method retains existing infrastructure such as cabinets, cables, and field

wiring, significantly reducing downtime and environmental impact by minimizing hardware

waste. The focus is on replacing or upgrading only the components that add direct value, such as

controllers and I/O modules, which also helps in reducing power consumption and enhancing

energy efficiency.

The transition to a modern Ethernet-based communication backbone in place of proprietary

systems further future-proofs plants, facilitating easier upgrades and integration with other

enterprise systems. This network-centric approach allows for more flexible and scalable plant

operations, adapting to changing needs without extensive re-engineering.

By adopting these innovative solutions, industrial plants achieve a more manageable and cost-

effective upgrade process, maintaining control over their life cycle planning, minimizing risks, and

ensuring continuous improvement in operational efficiency and compliance. This strategy not only

protects the plants’ investments in automation but also aligns with broader sustainability and

efficiency goals.

Executive summary

Aging automation systems pose significant challenges for industrial plant managers

due to their inability to keep up with technological advancements, leading to inefficiencies,

increased unplanned maintenance costs, and heightened risk of compliance issues.

Traditionally, upgrading these systems involved a costly and disruptive “rip and replace” approach.

However, a more sustainable and cost-effective strategy is now available through modular, phased

upgrades, emphasizing minimal operational disruption.
