Using A Redundant Set Of Linking Devices; Support For Multi User Engineering - ABB Ability 800xA Series User Manual

3 Configuration
3.3 Plant Configuration and Commissioning
To enable Control Builder F to do the configuration and commissioning of Linking Devices
of type LD 810HSE Ex, the corresponding HSE device type has to be imported to the
engineering tool first. For this purpose you will need the capabilities file (a file with .cfh
extension) that is included on the LD 810HSE Ex Media CD-ROM or is available for
download from myABB/My Control System.
Additional information, firmware, and capabilities files for this product are available
in the MyABB portal (https://myportal.abb.com/home). For details refer to

Prerequisites for building the plant configuration with Fieldbus Builder FOUNDATION™
Fieldbus or Control Builder F are:
• a valid IP configuration of the Linking Device as described in
page 64
• a physically commissioned Linking Device according to the commissioning steps
listed in
In Fieldbus Builder FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus or Control Builder F, the IP address set
on the Linking Device has to be entered. It is used to identify the Linking Device and
forms the basis for all the connection-based communication with the Linking Device.
3.3.1

Using a Redundant Set of Linking Devices

In the case of a redundant set of Linking Devices, also the IP address of the second
physical Linking Device has to be entered.
When the two Linking Devices forming a redundant set are powered, the redundancy
link must be present. If the redundancy link is missing while the devices are powered,
both devices will behave like independent, non-redundant primary devices.
3.3.2

Support for Multi User Engineering

LD 810HSE Ex supports multi user engineering. It allows concurrent configuration and
commissioning via several parallel sessions:
• Configuration and commissioning: One H1 link allows configuration and
commissioning for one client of the Fieldbus Builder FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus. This
can be done with as many clients as H1 links are available per subnet.
• Parameterization: An unlimited number of users is possible here allowing a
quasi-parallel access to single block parameters.
In all situations, LD 810HSE Ex ensures a consistent configuration and operational status
without limitations to its redundancy status.
