Remote access to control system

ABB announces that its cpmPlus Smart Client is now available as an included upgrade for System 800xA Automation Sentinel software management program subscribers that have the history option in their Automation Sentinel contract. This upgrade will be provided to these subscribers at no additional cost.

The cpmPlus Smart Client enhances System 800xA Information Management by allowing customers to securely access System 800xA via any internet connection for realtime visibility into the process from any location, as long as a connection to the plant exists (i.e. VPN). cpmPlus Smart Client also provides new display and data analysis capabilities for information management users.

System 800xA’s single point of change management ensures that all updates are automatically reproduced throughout the system, so that any information viewed via Smart Client reflects the up-to-the minute system context, status and process conditions. Automation Sentinel aims to help customers actively manage their lifecycle costs, by extending support for existing ABB software investments.
