Windows Notification area shown in following.
Fieldbus Builder FF
FF Device Integration Library - Basics
FF Device Integration Library - Asset Monitoring
Central Licensing Central Licensing system
800xA Documentation System Instructions
6. Click Finish. The system extensions will load into the system.
7. A progress dialog is shown during the load. Click View Log to view log messages during load.
8. When the load operation has finished, click Finished and view the Configuration Wizard log to verify
that no errors occurred during the load.
9. Close the Configuration Wizard.
Create and Share Folder for PROFIBUS and HART Device Integration:
A directory must be enabled for DTM access on every system node (redundant servers as well). Use the
following directory:
<system drive>:\ABB Industrial IT Data\Engineer IT Data\Fieldbus Builder PH
All 800xA System users must have full permissions for the shared folder.
Create and Share Folder for FOUNDATJON Fieldbus Device Integration:
1. Share the following folder for OPC Server data on all FOUNDATION Fieldbus Connectivity Server
nodes:
<system drive>:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\ Fieldbus Builder FF\opcsrv
All 800xA System users must have full permission for the shared folder. Access rights shall be limited
to the IndustrialITUser group.
2. Create and share a folder for the HSE Subnet configuration data of Fieldbus Builder FF on a primary
Aspect Server, so that it is accessible from all 800xA System nodes, e.g.:
<system drive>:\ABB Industrial IT Data\Engineer IT Data\Fieldbus Builder FF Data
All 800xA System users must have full permissions for the share and the folder in the file system.
Therefore, access rights shall be limited to the IndustrialITUser group.
10. Click Add, and select the server node. For redundant SoftPoint Server
configurations refer to Redundant Service Providers.
11. Click OK.
12. Click Apply.
13. Click View in the Adapter Data Source Definition aspect in the Preview Area.

SoftPoint Server'
s alarm server.
3. Configure the Adapter Data Source Definition aspect for the generic softpoint network, use the New
Service Providers dialog to specify both service providers (one for each of the redundant SoftPoint
Servers),
4. Configure the Event Collector Service Group with two service providers,
5.4 AC800M
5. Change AE Max number of event subscriptions to the amount of OPC Servers connected to this
controller. This number is 1 by default. It should not be larger than the number of OPC Servers, as
this would increase the memory load in the controller.
6. Click the Save and Close icon when finished.
7. Repeat Step 3 through Step 6 for each of the controllers in the network.
8. Click the Download Project and Go Online icon in the Control Builder toolbar when finished.
2. Select the appropriate COM port for the node (default COM 1).
3. Power up the controller.
4. Select:
Start > All Programs > ABB Industrial IT 800xA > Engineering > Utilities > Serial Firmware
Upgrade
5. Select Settings from the dialog, followed by the COM port selected in Step 2.
6. Click Connect and hold down the Init/Reset pushbutton on the controller (for at least three seconds).
The green R LED will start to blink. When this happens, release the button and the controller will
perform a cold test. Wait about a minute until a message appears.
If the connection is correct, then the following Serial Firmware Upgrade dialog appears:
1. Connect the RS-232 serial tool cable between the node running the Control Builder and the
Controller to the tool port. The serial line should still be connected to the primary CPU and
the power on the backup CPU should be off. This should only be done if the controller is
redundant.
2. Select the appropriate COM port for the node (default COM 1).
3. Select: Start > All Programs > ABB Industrial IT 800xA > Engineering > Utilities >
IPConfig
4. In the Settings menu, select Advanced mode.
5. Click Connect and hold down the Init/Reset pushbutton on the Controller (for at least three
seconds) and wait up to one minute. If the connection procedure fails, then a time out
message will appear. Check the cables and repeat the steps in this procedure up to this
point. If OK, the current IP settings (the IP Ethernet address and its associated Subnet mask)
will be displayed in the IP Config dialog shown in the following figure (settings not shown in
figure).
6. Enter a unique Primary Ethernet Interface IP Address and Subnet mask according to the
Planning; Example: IP address 172.16.4.101, Subnet mask, 255,255,252.0.
7. Click Set IP in the IP Config dialog to send the new address to the controller.
8. If using a redundant CPU, set the addresses as described in Configuring IP Addresses on
Redundant CPUs
9. Restart controller, for example with the Init/Reset pushbutton.
6. To start the saving of Cold Retain values, click Activate in the Save cold retain values dialog.
This can also be done later. Click Close.
7. Click File > Save Configuration....
8. Select the file name of the OPC Server configuration, and save the file.
System Startup / Shutdown and Workplace Reboot (e.g. after a power failure, or unexpected
PC failure)
Periodic Maintenance, e.g. checking the Servers and Networks (time req. approx. 10 min.)
On Request Maintenance, e.g. backup if parts of the application have changed
Emergency Maintenance, e.g. if a non redundant, important component fails.
4. When the ABB System Supervisor shows “System Status: Running” wait for a few minutes,
then a workplace on any of the servers (e.g. AS1) and select the System Supervision Display
to verify that all services are running. If at least 1oo2 Connectivity server and 1oo2 Aspect
Servers are running the clients can be started as well.
