ABB System 800xA Minerals Library Release 5.1/5

ABB has introduced System 800xA Minerals Library Release 5.1/5, offering enhanced control, routing, yard and port functionalities. A suite of object-oriented software control modules, the update makes it possible to design process control and power applications in an efficient and fully parameterised manner.

The release features yard and port objects for dynamic position visualisation and collision protection of stackers, reclaimers, ship loaders and unloaders, as well as a recipe control module to handle proportion and ratio control requirements with as many components as needed.

Enhanced group and subgroup functions enable easy, seamless engineering, operation and maintenance of functional groups even when distributed in different process controllers, such as with long belt conveyors, high-level automation with department or process area start/stop concepts.

Standardised modules are available for challenging situations where a drive, motor, valve or actuator is controlled by more than one functional group, and maintenance and error control options for analog and digital signals have been improved.
