Description
ABB PNI800 (PN800) Plant Network Interface Module
[Product Positioning]
PNI800 (model PNI800K01) is a dedicated industrial Ethernet communication interface module in ABB Symphony Plus/SD Series control system. It serves as a bridge between PC workstations and PN800 real-time control networks, providing bidirectional real-time data communication. It is the core communication node that connects the engineering station (S+Engineering), operator station (HMI/SCADA), and SD series controller (SPC800 series). It belongs to the authorized license component and needs to be used in conjunction with software license PNI800SWLIC-01 (license needs to be ordered separately).
PNI800 ABB PN800 Network Interface Module
[Core Function]
PNI800 establishes a real-time bidirectional communication channel between the PN800 factory network and the PC workstation running engineering software, HMI, or SCADA software. Supports up to 10 SPE (Engineering Station) client connections, up to 30000 HMI data tags, and a transmission rate of 100 MBps. The communication is based on Harmony API (Ethernet TCP), and the communication type is Realtime Data Server.
[Communication Interface]
Two redundant 100 Mbps Ethernet RJ45 ports (CN1/CN2), connected to PN800 factory network, supporting IEC 62439 PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol), achieving network level redundancy, eliminating single point of failure, and zero switching time. One mini USB diagnostic port is located on the front panel of the module for local debugging and diagnosis.
Network Characteristics
The PN800 factory network supports the IEC 62439 PRP protocol and provides line redundancy. The PNI800 module itself supports line redundancy, but does not support module redundancy. Supports hot swap, allowing for module replacement during system operation. The network topology supports HUB mode and is suitable for nodes that are not included in the project configuration. The module is equipped with DIP switches (SW1-SW4), which can configure network baud rate, network address, card slot address, and terminal enable status.
Compatible with systems and software
Compatible with ABB SD series controllers (SPC800 series, such as SPC810ev, SPC600, etc.). support S+ Engineering、S+ Operations（SPO）、800xA Operations、Harmony OPC Server Waiting for software. It can also be used to connect communication between INFI Net networks (bridged by SPIEB800) and PN800 networks.
[Physical Specifications]
Dimensions: Net depth of 243.84 mm, net height of 73.66 mm, net width of 170.18 mm, weight of approximately 0.5 kg. Adopting xA style (width of approximately 186 mm), installed in a horizontal row on the MB805 base. Protection level IP20, can be directly installed inside the control cabinet. The working temperature range is 0 ° C to 70 ° C. It complies with ISA S71.04 G1 standard, and G3 anti-corrosion version is also optional. Through MIL-STD-810G environmental testing, ESD、 Surge, electrical fast transient, radiated RF, conducted anti-interference, etc. have all reached the IEC 61000 series Severity Level 3 level.
Reliability
MTBF (according to MIL-HDBK-217-FN2): PNI800 PR model takes about 135873 hours, and MB805 base PR model takes about 2583516 hours. MTTR: PNI800 takes about 1 hour, MB805 takes about 8 hours. The front panel of the module is equipped with diagnostic LEDs, which can intuitively display the operating status and fault information.
Certification and Compliance
Compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, WEEE Category 5, HS Code 85176200. Compliant with IEC 62439 PRP and IEC 61000 series electromagnetic compatibility standards.
[Typical Application]
Distributed automation systems that require highly reliable real-time communication, such as oil and gas, thermal power generation and new energy, chemical process control, water/wastewater treatment, pulp and paper, cement and building materials, metallurgy, district heating, nuclear power, etc., are particularly suitable for new ABB Symphony Plus system construction projects and existing system upgrades.
[Optional models]
PNI800A is another variant of the same series, with the same function as PNI800. The specific selection needs to be determined according to the project configuration. Often provided as a PN800 Starter Kit package with SPIEB800 (INFI Net to PN800 bridge), SPC810ev controller, and other components.
