ABB HC800 Symphony Plus DCS Controller Module

HC800 is the high‑performance main controller for ABB Symphony Plus SD‑series DCS system. It executes process control logic, function‑block calculation, PID closed‑loop regulation and handles mass I/O data processing. It serves as the core computing unit for large‑scale process‑industry distributed control systems.

This hot‑swappable DIN‑rail controller supports full hardware redundancy for bumpless master‑standby switchover. It cooperates with PDP800 PROFIBUS‑DP module and various SD‑series I/O boards, widely used in power plants, petrochemical and pulp‑paper automation control cabinets.
