Styrsystemutbyte från Uniview till ABB:s 800xA
(2025) In CODEN:LUTEDX/TEIE EIEL05 20251Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Detta examensarbete har fokuserat på att modernisera styrsystemet för reservpanna 3 vid Hetvattencentralen i Landskrona, genom att ersätta ett äldre SCADA-baserat system Uniview med ett modernt distribuerat styrsystem (DCS) ABB 800xA. Arbetet har genomförts i samarbete med Deterministic Control AB, och med Landskrona Energi AB som slutkund.
Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att uppnå en fullständig systemmigrering där både hårdvara och mjukvara byts ut, samt att integrera äldre utrustning med moderna gränssnitt.
Särskilt fokus har lagts på användningen av ABB:s verktyg inom 800xA-plattformen samt de programmeringsspråk som valts för att utveckla styrsystemet. Programmeringsarbetet har huvudsakligen utförts i det grafiska verktyget...

Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att uppnå en fullständig systemmigrering där både hårdvara och mjukvara byts ut, samt att integrera äldre utrustning med moderna gränssnitt.
Särskilt fokus har lagts på användningen av ABB:s verktyg inom 800xA-plattformen samt de programmeringsspråk som valts för att utveckla styrsystemet. Programmeringsarbetet har huvudsakligen utförts i det grafiska verktyget Function Designer med hjälp av Funktionsblocksdiagram FBD i Project Explorer, som möjliggjort en tydlig och strukturerad implementation av den grundläggande styrlogiken. För mer avancerade funktioner skapades en kontrollmodul (Control Module) i Control Builder med Structured Text (ST). Denna kombination av verktyg och programmeringsspråk har bidragit till att uppfylla slutkundens krav på funktionalitet och tydlighet.
Vidare utformades ett operatörsgränssnitt i PG2 med syftet att efterlikna och harmonisera med övriga processbilder inom anläggningen. I arbetet genomfördes även testmoment såsom Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), utcheckning och driftsättning, där systemets funktionalitet verifierades tillsammans med slutkunden.
Resultatet demonstrerar hur det nya styrsystemet uppfyller samtliga krav från slutkunden.
Driftsättningen visade att brännaren kunde startas som den ska och att temperatur- och effektregulatorernas funktionalitet var korrekt i verkligheten. En betydligt förbättrade struktur, överskådlig och användarvänlig processbild i 800xA presenterades, vilket saknades i det gamla systemet. En provkörning upp till 5 MW kördes för att kontrollera systemets prestanda, vilket visade en stabil och precis reaktion av regulatorerna enligt inställt börvärde.
Arbetet har erbjudit en konkret tillämpning av både teoretisk kunskap och praktiska färdigheter inom automation, styrteknik och programmering i ett verkligt industriprojekt. Det har även stärkt kunskaperna inom systemintegration, felsökning och utveckling i ABB:s 800xA-miljö, områden som är viktiga inom industriell automation och relevanta för en framtida yrkesroll.

- This thesis focuses on the modernization of the control system for Backup Boiler 3 at District heating plant in Landskrona. The objective was to replace an outdated SCADA-based system, Uniview, with the modern Distributed Control System (DCS) ABB 800xA. The project was carried out in collaboration with Deterministic Control AB, and with Landskrona Energi AB as the final customer.
The main goal was to achieve a complete system migration, involving upgrades of both hardware and software, as well as the integration of older equipment by modernizing the interfaces.
The thesis describes the methods, tools and communication solutions used to accomplish the system changes. Special focus has been placed on the use of ABB's tools within the 800xA...

The objective was to replace an outdated SCADA-based system, Uniview, with the modern Distributed Control System (DCS) ABB 800xA. The project was carried out in collaboration with Deterministic Control AB, and with Landskrona Energi AB as the final customer.
The main goal was to achieve a complete system migration, involving upgrades of both hardware and software, as well as the integration of older equipment by modernizing the interfaces.
The thesis describes the methods, tools and communication solutions used to accomplish the system changes. Special focus has been placed on the use of ABB's tools within the 800xA platform and the programming languages chosen to develop the control system. The programming work has mainly been done in the graphical tool Function Designer using Function Block Diagram FBD on Project Explorer, which has enabled a clear and structured implementation of the basic control logic. For more advanced functions, a Control module was created in Control Builder with Structured Text (ST). This combination of tools and programming languages has greatly contributed to meeting the final customer's requirements for functionality and clarity.
Furthermore, a new operator interface was developed using PG2, designed to match and harmonize with other process displays within the facility. The thesis also included key test phases such as the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), checkout, and commissioning, all conducted in close cooperation with the client to verify system functionality.
The results demonstrate how the new control system meets all the requirements of the end customer. The commissioning showed that the burner could be started as it should and that the temperature and power regulators were functioning correctly in reality. A significantly improved structure, clear and user-friendly process image in 800xA was presented, which was missing in the old system. A test run up to 5 MW was run to check the system performance, which showed a stable and precise reaction of the regulators according to the defined setpoint.
The thesis also addresses the technical and practical challenges encountered during the transition from the old to the new control system. Overall, the project provided a valuable opportunity to apply both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in automation, control engineering, and industrial programming. It also strengthened competence in system integration, troubleshooting, and development within ABB’s 800xA environment skills that are essential in the field of industrial automation and relevant for future careers.
