1. INTRODUCTION:

In this guide we have shown some basic installation for ABB 800xa system 4.1. Some basic structural node and system structure
also have been explained. Complete system include many nodes and software but in this we will only focus on 2 most basic and
important server nodes Aspect and Connectivity servers, installation and configuration has been explained. If you want to
install components other than these nodes please refer to 3BSE034678R4101_Sys_Install guide.

In this installation all components regarding these two configuration have been installed. We are making one node (system) for
both Aspect and Connectivity, mean that our one operating system will be acting as Aspect and Connectivity server. We can
make both system impendent too but for this installation these are combine.

In this guide only AC800m system is covered if someone want other system installation like advent or harmony etc. please refer
to above mentioned guide.

2. NODES TYPES:

The maximum number of nodes of each type per 800xA System are listed in Table. The numbers in parenthesis state the node
count for redundant configurations. For example, 8 (16) means 8 nodes in singular configurations, or 16 nodes (8 pairs) in
redundant configurations.

Node types can be broken down into the following categories:

• Basic Node Types.
• Combined Node Types.

2.1 BASIC NODE TYPES:

Basic node types include:

• Domain Server node (not required for single-node systems, or those using workgroups): Runs the Domain Controller and
Domain Name System (DNS).
Contains matching copies of the user accounts in a given domain. A Domain Controller is required for any system that is not a
single-node system or standalone engineering station, or those that use Workgroups. Redundant Domain Controllers may be
implemented on an optional basis. Domain Controllers require the Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server operating
system.
If using domains, install and configure the Domain Controller before installing other system nodes.

• Aspect Server node: Runs the aspect directory and other services related to object management, object names and structures,

Page 4 of 28
 LA-ABB-4.1-INS
Revision: 001
Installation Guide for Effective Date:
ABB 800xa 4.1 system Nov,10, 2017

security, etc. Redundant Aspect Servers may be implemented on an optional basis. This is also the Domain Controller and DNS
when separate Domain Servers are not used.

• Connectivity Server node: Runs connect services, providing access to controllers and other data sources. Redundant (parallel)
Connectivity Servers may be implemented on an optional basis.

• Application Server node: Application servers run the services related to a specific functional area, for example: Batch
Management, Information Management, or Asset Optimization. Application Servers require Windows
Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server. Application Servers include:
– Batch Server: runs Batch Management.
– MM Server: runs Manufacturing Management (requires Windows Server 2003).
– IM Server: runs Information Management.
– AO Server: runs Asset Optimization.
– Other applications: such as large SoftPoint and Calculation Server applications, 800xA for Harmony Configuration Server,
800xA for Melody Configuration Server, integrated third party applications, etc.

• Remote Client Server node: Provides terminal server functionality to connect to remote workplaces.
The Thin Client feature allows displays to be run on remote computers that do not have the client applications installed. The
remote computers require Microsoft Terminal Server functionality. These computers may connect to a
terminal server that has Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Terminal Server, and the applicable 800xA software installed. The
terminal server may be set up directly on a server node, or on a dedicated terminal server computer.. Any number of users may
be set up on the terminal server. The terminal server software lets you configure these users to have access to any application
on that computer. Configuration settings are saved in the standard Windows directories on a per-user basis to support this.
Citrix Server is only applicable to Windows 2000 Server.

Once the terminal server has been configured, any machine that has the required client software set up may now open these
remote applications, which will run virtually on their local machine, but in reality will be running on the terminal server. Multiple
users may run the same application simultaneously. The only limitation is that no more than five instances of Microsoft Excel
may be running on the same machine at one time. This limitation is imposed by Microsoft. The client applications operate in the
same manner as if they were being run locally. The applications must still connect to a data server, in some cases to specify
which data server is to be accessed, or for some applications, to simply obtain a valid license.

• Client node: Runs workplace functionality, such as operator and engineering workplaces, including Batch, MM, IM, and AO
Clients.

• Information Management Consolidation node: The Information Management Consolidation node allows for consolidating
historical data from IM Servers in other systems on one node. This requires:
– Install the IM Server software on a dedicated consolidation node. This node must be set up as a single node system. Follow the
procedure for installing an Information Management Application
– Create the single node system for the consolidation node and add the system extensions for all installed functions. These
procedures are covered in Industrial IT, 800xA - System, Post Installation Setup.
– Complete all other post installation as required by an IM Server. Refer to Industrial IT, 800xA - System, Post Installation Setup.

2.2 COMBINED NODE TYPES:

• In order to optimize the cost/performance ratio for a particular installation, certain server functions can be combined in the
same node. Depending on what all server node types except Domain Server nodes and Remote Client Server
nodes include client functionality. These clients are referred to as server based clients.

Approved combinations are:

– AS + CS: Aspect and Connectivity Server.

Page 5 of 28
 LA-ABB-4.1-INS
Revision: 001
Installation Guide for Effective Date:
ABB 800xa 4.1 system Nov,10, 2017

– AS + CS + AO: Aspect, Connectivity, and AO Server.

– Batch + IM + MM: Batch, IM, and MM Server.
– Single node engineering system.
Other elements of the 800xA System include:
• Controllers: Run applications for real-time process control. Controllers
connect to the control network.

• I/O Systems: Provide the interface to process transducers. I/O stations connect
to controllers, either directly, or via fieldbuses.

• Network and Network Devices: Support communication between the various

system nodes, as well as communication outside the system (via plant intranet,
or the Internet). The 800xA System uses three networks:
– Control network.
– Client/Server network.
– Plant network (intranet).

2.3 CONFIGURATION RULES:

Configuration rules that must be taken into account when planning the system are:
• Generic Configuration Rules.
• Domains Versus Workgroups.
• Windows XP Professional Versus Windows Server (2000 or 2003).
• Optimized System Configurations.
• Engineering Systems.

2.4 GENERIC CONFIGURATION RULES:

• Refer to above Table for the maximum number of nodes of each type per system.
• The following connect services (and no other) can be combined in Connectivity
Server nodes, combined Aspect and Connectivity Server nodes, and combined Aspect, Connectivity, and AO Server nodes:
– AC 800M Connect.
– FOUNDATION Fieldbus Device Integration.
– PROFIBUS Device Integration/HART Device Integration.
– PLC Connect.
– PC, Network and Software Monitoring (PNSM).
• 800xA for Advant Master connect services must run in Connectivity Server nodes. It can be combined with 800xA for
SafeGuard in the same node, but not with any other connect services.
• 800xA for Harmony Server, 800xA for Melody Server, 800xA for MOD 300 Server, and 800xA for DCI Server must run in
Connectivity Server nodes. They cannot be combined with each other or with any other connect services in the same node.

2.5 DOMAINS VERSUS WORKGROUPS

An 800xA System installation can be configured either as a Windows Domain or as a Windows Workgroup.
When the system is configured as a domain, a separate (optionally redundant) Domain Server is required. For installation as a
production system, it is recommended that the 800xA System form its own domain. It should not be part of a larger domain,
such as a corporate network domain.
The Domain Controller stores and manages information about user credentials and access rights, both for humans and for the
Page 6 of 28
 LA-ABB-4.1-INS
Revision: 001
Installation Guide for Effective Date:
ABB 800xa 4.1 system Nov,10, 2017

system. It provides the Active Directory service that manages user access to a network, which includes user logon,
authentication, and access to the directory and shared resources. Every domain must have at least one Domain Controller. For
resilience, a domain should have multiple Domain Controllers to support the handling of logon requests and directory updates.
All other 800xA System server and client nodes must be configured to be members of the domain. The 800xA System requires
the use of static IP addresses on all system nodes. For details on planning and physical set up for networks and domains. A
Workgroup System should not consist of more than a combined Aspect and Connectivity Server, separate Application Servers,
and five or six clients. A Workgroup becomes increasingly difficult to administrate as the number of users and computers grows.
Workgroups should therefore be considered only for small systems with few users.

2.6 WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL VERSUS WIND OWS SERVER (2000 OR 2003)

Certain server types can run on Windows XP Professional as well as on Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003.
• When Windows XP Professional is used for the Aspect Servers, the system size is limited to nine nodes, not counting Domain
Servers.
• When Windows XP Professional is used for any other server, except for the Aspect Servers, the system size is limited to 11
nodes, not counting Domain Servers.
These limitations depend on Microsoft licensing rules for Windows XP and Internet Information Services (IIS).
Server types that always require Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 are:
• Domain Server.
• Batch Server.
• IM Server (except in single node engineering systems).
• AO Server (in all configurations except in single node systems).
• 800xA for Harmony Server.
• 800xA for Harmony Configuration Server.
• 800xA for Melody Server.
• 800xA for Melody Configuration Server.

2.7 OPTIMIZED SYSTEM CON FIGURATIONS

By using combined node types, it is possible to optimize the system configuration for small and medium sized applications.
• A single node system is a system that consists of one combined Aspect and Connectivity Server node, or one combined Aspect,
Connectivity, and AO Server node.
All servers in a redundant group (1-out-of-2 or 2-out-of-3) must use the same operating system.
• Systems with up to five clients and limited application size can be configured with combined Aspect and Connectivity Server
nodes; combined Aspect, Connectivity, and AO Server nodes; combined Batch, IM, and MM Server nodes; and with server based
clients.
• For larger applications, the Batch and IM Servers should run on separate servers, and the clients should also be separate.

2.8 ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

An Engineering System is intended for engineering only (no production). The same basic configuration rules apply to an
Engineering System as to Production Systems, except for the single node Engineering System.
With respect to domain membership, there are two use cases for the engineering system:
• The engineering system is used standalone; for example, in an engineering office. There are three possible alternatives:
– The system can be added to an existing domain; for example, in an office network domain.
– The system can be defined as a new domain added to an existing domain controller.
– The system can be defined as a separate domain with its own domain controller and DNS server, or as a workgroup (i.e. same

ABB 800xa 4.1 system Nov,10, 2017

as a Production System).
• The Engineering System is connected to a Production System and is used for system synchronization. In this configuration, the
Engineering System must belong to the same domain as the Production System.

3. INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES:
