Description:
The PNI800 is a Plant Network Interface module designed for real-time communications between SD SeriesControllers and PC workstations. It supports bi-directional, real-time data exchange with S+ Engineering, HMl(SPO or 800xA Operations), and general-purpose interface software like the Harmony OPC Server. Part ofABB's Symphony Plus control systems, the PNI800 ensures reliable and efficient communication in industrialautomation environments.
This module serves as a crucial bridge, enabling data exchange, configuration, and monitoring of the PN800 system.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q1. What are the basic functions and positioning of the PNI800?
A: The PNI800 is a "gateway" or "communication processor" in the ABB Symphony Plus DCS system. Its core function is to bridge the gap between the plant management layer network and the lower control layer network. It allows multiple operator stations, engineer stations, and historical stations (SCADA stations) to access and control field devices connected to the S800 I/O modules via standard Ethernet.
Q2. Where is the PNI800 typically connected? What is the network architecture?
The PNI800 is located in the middle layer of the network architecture:
Upstream (Northbound): Connects to the plant's core switch via its PNET port, becoming a node in the plant's LAN.
Downstream (Southbound): Connects to one or two S800 I/O buses via its dedicated I/O bus interface.
Multiple S800 I/O modules and fieldbus master modules can be connected to each S800 bus.
