Introduction to ABB HC800
HC800 Product Overview
The ABB HC800 is a high-performance control processor module, serving as the core “brain” of ABB’s Symphony Plus distributed control system (DCS) and a key component of the HPC800 controller. Tailored for complex industrial automation scenarios, it integrates a 256MHz Freescale ColdFire 32-bit processor and large-capacity memory, enabling efficient execution of advanced control algorithms, real-time processing of massive process data, and seamless coordination with thousands of I/O points. Widely deployed in power plants (boiler and turbine control), petrochemical reactors, and water treatment systems, it ensures precise regulation of process parameters like temperature, pressure, and flow—critical for maintaining stable production and optimizing operational efficiency. Its standout features include full-system redundancy (controller, I/O, and communication layers) with millisecond-level failover, ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical processes.
