ABB general purpose drives

ABB general purpose drives are simple to

buy, install, configure and use, saving

considerable time. They are widely available

through ABB channel partners. The drives

have common user and process interfaces

with fieldbuses, common software tools for

sizing, commissioning, maintenance and

common spare parts.

Applications

ABB general purpose drives can be used in a

wide range of industries. Typical applications

include pump, fan and constant torque use,

such as conveyors. ABB general purpose drives

are ideal in those situations where there is

a need for simplicity to install, commission

and use and where customizing or special

product engineering is not required.

Highlights

• FlashDrop tool

• Intuitive use with assistant control panel

• Swinging choke for superior

harmonic reduction

• Vector control

• Coated boards for harsh environments

• Built-in category C2 EMC filter

(1st environment) as standard

• Flexible fieldbus system with built-in

Modbus and numerous internally

mountable fieldbus adapters

• UL, cUL, CE, C-Tick and GOST R approved

• RoHS compliant

Easy and quick commissioning

Advanced data storage inside the sensor eliminates the need

to match sensor and transmitter in the field. The on-board

sensor memory automatically identifies the transmitter. On

power-on, the transmitter self-configuration function is run and

replicates all sensor data and TAG specific parameters into

the transmitter. This eliminates the opportunity for errors and

leads to an increased startup speed and reliability.

Intuitive, convenient navigation

The factory-set parameters can be modified quickly and easily

via the user-friendly display and the non-contact buttons,

without opening the housing.

The “Easy Set-up” function reliably guides unpracticed users

through the menu step by step.

The softkey-based functionality makes handling a breeze – it’s

just like using a cell phone. During the configuration, the

permissible range of each parameter is indicated on the

display and invalid entries are rejected.

Universal transmitter – powerful and flexible

The backlit display can be easily rotated without the need for

any tools. The contrast is adjustable and the display fully

configurable. The character size, number of lines and display

resolution (number of decimals) can be set as required. In

multiplex operation, several different display options can be

pre-configured and invoked one after the other.

The smart modular design of the transmitter unit allows for

easy disassembly without the need to unscrew cables or

unplug connectors.

Whether count pulses, 20 mA signals or the status output are

active or passive, the universal transmitter always delivers the

correct signal. HART is used as the standard protocol.

Optionally, the transmitter is available with PROFIBUS PA or

FOUNDATION Fieldbus communication.

The universal transmitter simplifies the spare parts inventory

and reduces the stockholding costs.

Advanced diagnostic functions

Using its advanced diagnostic functions, the device monitors

both its own operability and the process.

Limit values for the diagnostic parameters can be set locally.

When these limits are exceeded, an alarm is tripped.

For further analysis, the diagnostic data can be read out via

an advanced DTM. Critical states can, thus, be recognized

early and appropriate measures can be taken.

As a result, productivity is increased and downtimes are

avoided. The status messages are classified in accordance

with the NAMUR recommendations.

In the event of an error, a diagnostic-dependent help text

appears on the display which considerably simplifies and

accelerates the troubleshooting procedure. The gives

maximum safety for the process.

Flow performance

Using a higher excitation frequency for the transmitter,

ProcessMaster is a flowmeter with an especially short

response time. With its advanced filtering methods, the device

improves accuracy even under difficult conditions by

separating the noise from the measuring signal. This leads to

a maximum measuring error of 0.2 % of rate. Self-cleaning,

double-sealed polished measuring electrodes enhance the

device’s reliability and performance.

The Company

ABB is an established world force in the design and

manufacture of instrumentation for industrial process control,

flow measurement, gas and liquid analysis and environmental

applications. As a world leader in process automation

technology our worldwide presence, comprehensive service

and application oriented know-how make ABB a leading

supplier of flow measurement products.

Introduction

Setting the standard for the process industry

ProcessMaster is designed specifically to meet the increased

requirements on advanced flowmeters. The modular design

concept offers flexibility, cost-saving operation and reliability

whilst providing a long service life and exceptionally low

maintenance.

Integration into ABB asset management systems and usage

of the selfmonitoring and diagnostic functions increase the

plant availability and reduce downtimes.

ScanMaster – the diagnostic tool

Can I rely on the measured values?

How can I determine the technical condition of my device?

ScanMaster can answer these frequently asked questions.

And ScanMaster allows you to easily check the device for

proper functioning either through its Infra-red service port or

through the HART commands.
