Symphony Plus
S+ Control: HR Series BRC300, BRC400 and BRC410
Introduction
Symphony Plus HR Series controllers include the
BRC300, BRC400 and BRC410. Symphony Plus HR Series
controllers are a form-fit-function replacement for the
previous generation Harmony/INFI 90 controllers. These
powerful controllers are fully compatible with the Harmony/
INFI 90 systems as well as Symphony Plus HR Series (and
previous generation rack modules), SD Series and S800 I/O
subsystems.
Powerful process controllers
HR Series controllers are the latest in a long line of field-proven
multi-function rack process controllers, and include the BRC300,
BRC400, and the BRC410 bridge controllers. This scalable family
of controllers, based on a 160 MHz, 32-bit Freescale Coldfire
processor, can be adapted to a broad spectrum of applications
and process requirements. Configured by the S+ Engineering
tool, the HR Series controllers feature an extensive library of more
than 150 predefined control algorithms or function codes. These
functions enable easy building block design of complex control
strategies to fit any control application, including continuous,
sequential, batch and advanced control. In addition to standard
function blocks, HR Series controllers support C programming and
batch functions.
HR Series controller features include:
Enhanced controller reliability
More than 10x performance of previous generation
controllers
Simultaneous support for all HR Series I/O, SD Series I/O

and S800 I/O subsystems
Intelligent device integration via HART I/O
Downloadable firmware
BRC400 / BRC410 specific enhancements:
Extended user configuration memory (2 MB NVRAM)
Support for 32,000 function blocks
Flexible online configuration capability
100 Mbps Ethernet port supporting the Modbus TCP
protocol communication (BRC410 only)

High reliability and backward compatibility

With redundant controller, communication, I/O and power options,
HR Series controller subsystems provide the highest level of
availability. Compliance with international standards assures the
highest level of reliability and quality needed to meet the most
rigorous global specifications and requirements. Backward
compatibility through ABBs Evolution without obsolescence life
cycle program ensures protection of installed investments while
providing the most cost-effective and seamless way of introducing
new functions and technology into a running plant. Together,
the HR Series provides users with fast, accurate, uninterrupted
control of their process, resulting in greater production efficiency,
increased availability, and lower maintenance costs.

HR Series controllers can communicate with up to 64 rack

I/O modules locally with additional remote rack I/O modules
connected via the RIO22 module. Use of rack sequence of events
(SOE) DI modules provides one millisecond accuracy SOE function
across the entire rack system.
HR Series remote I/O capabilities are further expanded with use
of the SD Series DIN rail mounted I/O products. Compatible with
all HR Series controllers, BRC300 / 400 / 410, SD Series I/O
connects directly to the controller via the HN800 I/O bus without
the need for an intermediate interface or gateway. Use of SD
Series SOE DI modules also provides one millisecond accuracy
SOE function across the system.
