Electrical Integration reduces capital expenditure and lifecycle costs by integrating process automation and power automation into a common System 800xA platform. Using open Industrial Ethernet standards such as IEC 61850 for substation automation, System 800xA provides full plant integration.
The benefits of Integrated Process and Power Automation from ABB include:
- Reduced investment cost by one integrated system
- Improved operator effectiveness and collaboration across all areas of the plant by common visualization
- Reduced maintenance costs by one common maintenance strategy for the entire plant
- Enhanced energy reduction program by improved visibility into power consumption
- Reduced risk by one common and experienced supplier for process and power automation needs
