Introducing the Symphony Plus SD Series, the energy-efficient automation solution

Green automation solution reduces energy consumption, lowers hardwarerequirements and withstands extreme operating conditions.

In most industries today, energyconsumption represents a very significantoperating expense in the productionprocess. So reducing energy consumptionleads directly to improved bottom line profits.Even in less energy-intensive industries,improvements in energy efficiency helpmaintain competitive advantages. For power
producers, between 4 and 15 percent of apower plant`s entire output is used to powerauxiliary systems, from water treatment, fuelpreparation, and environmental systems tolighting and air conditioning.

Without these systems, the plant can’trun, but every watt of electricity saved byimproving energy efficiency can be soldto generate higher revenues or lower fuel
consumption to reduce operating costs.

Symphony Plus SD Series

Introducing ABB’s Symphony® Plus SD Series,a flexible and scalable portfolio of controland I/O products that are designed toimprove efficiency and productivity in diverseoperating environments within the powerand water industries.

SD Series is the latest addition to theSymphony Plus S+ Control and I/O family.This family, which also includes the HR Series(Harmony Rack) and MR Series (MelodyRack), provides Symphony Plus with acomprehensive offering to meet the needsof new and existing customers from allsegments and all regions.

The SD Series features modular DIN railpackaging; a flexible, fast ethernet-basedplant network; intelligent electrical and fielddevice integration; PROFIBUS, HART, IEC61850 and Modbus TCP communication protocols; and an integrated turbine controlsolution.

The SD Series also protects investmentsmade in previous controllers, while deliveringhigher performance, reliability and capacity.SD Series products have a modular, highdensitydesign and streamlined architecturethat reduce control and I/O hardwarerequirements and cabinet footprint, thuslowering design, installation and operatingcosts. It is a green automation solution that provides significant energy savings with low 24 VDC power consumption and lead-free RoHS-certified modules.

SD Series products are designed towithstand extreme environmental conditions,which makes them ideal for remote I/Oapplications. Their G3 coating and 70 °Ctemperature rating eliminate the need forfans, louvers, air filters, purging systems, orother environment controlling techniques.Significantly higher efficiency means lowerpower consumption, less heat dissipationrequirements, and less need for coolingsystems.

This eliminates the use of partsthat can affect reliability and productivity,thereby reducing footprint and loweringinstallation costs. These features can makea huge difference in installation expenditureby reducing the need for climate-controlledbuildings or cabinets. Once in operation,the reduced volume of parts and equipment
improves reliability and cuts maintenancecosts.

The SD Series maximizes uptime andproduction with a scalable family of highperformanceand highly reliable controllersand control loop integration of secondary
smart field device. They protect intellectualinvestment in existing INFI 90 / Harmonysystems - one of the most widely used controlsystems in power generation worldwide - byenabling the easy reuse of existing INFI 90control strategies.Backwards and forwards compatibilityensures smooth integration with existingand future systems, enabling customers toprotect previous investments by reusing fieldprovensolutions and avoiding rip and replacealternatives.
