As one of the world´s leading suppliers of systems for efficient and secure automation, control, and surveillance of industrial and process plants, product range continuity is of the utmost importance to ABB. Across the world, a large number of industries depend on well-functioning operations, even when parts of the control system need to be upgraded.
ABB faced one such challenge, to modernise and keep existing and future users in mind, when they decided to produce an entirely new version of a so-called real-time accelerator (RTA). The unit acts as protocol translator between the software on the operator´s work station and the Masterbus 300-based control network connected to the target systems.
Katarina Wiklund, Project Manager at ABB, explains: “A lot of skills, not just purely technical ones, are required to get a project this complex to work. Prevas have shown that they can cope with all the elements, and have kept the whole thing together and delivered on time."
