S+ Engineering is the Engineering tool for a Symphony Plus control system. It offers all the necessary
functionality needed to engineer, configure, administrate, secure, commission and maintain every
component in the Symphony Plus control system - from control and I/O, field instrumentation and electrical
devices to network architecture, and Operations, Engineering, and advanced system applications.
S+ Engineering allows for easy reuse and upgrade of Symphony, INFI 90 OPEN, INFI 90, and Network 90
control system engineering projects. In addition, the extensive reuse concept of S+ Engineering allows users
to optimize plant design with field-proven solutions based on ABB’s in-depth experience in the power and
water industries.
It is of utmost importance that the installation procedure is properly followed.
Refer to S+ System Installation user manual (2VAA008303 Rev E) for installation procedure of S+ Engineering
2.2 software.
It is recommended to read this Release Note document and referred user manuals before installing or
upgrading to the S+ Engineering version 2.2 software.

that interact with one another. It also provides system level tools for project administration, user
management, bulk engineering tool, and topology design.
• Control Engineering provides all the functionality necessary to develop and maintain control logic
configurations of Symphony Plus SD and HR Series control & I/O, and also handles run-time
communications of S+ Engineering to SD and HR Series control networks.
• Operations Engineering provides integrated and centralized configuration, management, and remote
deployment for S+ Operations run-time servers and clients.
• Field Engineering provides a FDT/DTM technology based user friendly environment to configure,
commission, and manage intelligent field and electrical devices using PROFIBUS and HART protocols.
• Connectivity Engineering provides configuration for horizontal and/or vertical integration of foreign
device communications using standard protocols like IEC 60870-5-104, DNP 3.0, Modbus TCP, OPC,
IEC 61850.
• Harmony Gateway Software provides configuration of Modbus TCP communications for SD Series
HPC800 and HR Series BRC410 controllers.
