Features:
- Bridge Between the Operator and the ABB Freelance Control System
- Integrates Standard HMI Capabilities with Process Visualization and Control
- Functions in Coordination with Freelance Controllers and I/O Modules
The ABB 3BDS008790R09 Freelance Operations Standard serves as the standard operator station software within the ABB Freelance distributed control system (DCS), providing reliable human-machine interface (HMI) functionality for all process operations within the system. It continuously delivers real-time process visualization, alarm management, and trend monitoring to support steady-state operation of all connected controllers and field devices. Seamless operator interaction is standard with the 3BDS008790R09, and utilizing an optional redundant operator station configuration will allow seamless switchover to a backup workstation in the event of a primary system failure. The 3BDS008790R09 has incorporated universal Windows PC compatibility and peer-to-peer architecture within the Freelance system, eliminating the need for dedicated server hardware.
The 3BDS008790R09 provides essential operator functions common to the entire control system, and is a critical component of the monitoring path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall automation system. One or more 3BDS008790R09 licenses are required per project depending on the desired number of operator workplaces. The 3BDS008790R09 operates as a standard software license with USB hardware key protection and is always installed on commercial Windows PCs configured as dedicated operator stations.
For dual redundant operator applications, the Freelance system requires a second 3BDS008790R09 operator station installed as a backup workplace. In addition to standard single station operation, the redundant configuration also performs automatic switchover. The Freelance dual operator configuration executes failover using the internal redundancy mechanisms specified in the system architecture. Using this method, the redundant operator system continually monitors the health of both stations. If the system detects that the primary operator station is no longer providing stable access (outside configured availability parameters), it will automatically transfer the operator interface to the secondary station and log an event in the system event list.
The 3BDS008790R09 ABB Freelance Operations Standard may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
