1 AC 800F System Overview
1-3
An engineering station is a PC or laptop with MS-Windows 2000 or MS-
Windows NT 4.0 (with service pack 6) and the Control Builder F software package. It
is used by the operator for system configuration, documentation, and commissioning.
After these tasks have been completed, the engineering station can be disconnected
and used for other purposes.
An operator station is a PC with MS-Windows 2000 or MS-Windows NT 4.0 (with
service pack 6) and the Control Builder F software package. It is recommended to
use an industrial PC. Besides a 17" or 21" color monitor, standard keyboard and
mouse, several components to IP 65 are available on request. See also our Intranet
pages or contact the ABB customer service.
A maximum of two printers for message and report printing can be connected. The
operator station is usable for configuring and commissioning as well, provided that the
Control Builder F engineering software has been installed.
This manual describes how to mount, install and use the AC 800F. In most of the
application and configuration examples given in this manual the AC 800F is integrated
in the Freelance 2000 system.
However, this does not mean that it can be used with Freelance 2000 exclusively.
AC 800F is quite flexible and can be used with all other components of the ABB
Industrial
IT
series as well.
The AC 800F consists of:
• the housing with CPU board and module slots,
• the power supply module
• at least one Ethernet module
• a maximum of four fieldbus modules
