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.

3.1 Initial installation
Refer to S+ System Installation user manual (2VAA008303 Rev E) for installation procedure of S+ Engineering
2.2 software.
3.2 Upgrade
S+ Engineering 2.2 supports Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 and Windows Server 2016 operating
systems.
For upgrade, it is recommended to use the S+ Engineering Project Administration tool backup feature to
create a complete offline backup then store it in a safe location.
For the general procedure to upgrade from S+ Engineering 2.1/2.1.1 to the latest version of S+ Engineering for
Harmony, refer Uninstallation section.
Install a fresh copy of supported Windows operating system on the PC, then install S+ Engineering 2.2
following procedures in S+ System Installation user manual(2VAA008303 Rev E).
Use the S+ Engineering Project Administration tool restore feature to restore and upgrade the project
backup created by previous version.
Older versions Composer Harmony.ebp project file can also be upgraded into S+ Engineering 2.2.
Refer to S+ Engineering 2.2 Project administration user manual (8VZZ000130T2200) for more information on
project upgrade.
Operations Engineering upgrade does not support automatically for S+ Engineering 2.2, user needs to
configure the HMI parameters manually.
