In this application, the ABB PP846 3BSE042238R1 operator panel is installed on the front door of a control cabinet to provide operators with a clear, graphical interface to the process. By using the ABB PP846 3BSE042238R1 together with an AC 800M or other ABB controller, users can monitor key process values, acknowledge alarms, and issue commands directly from the touch enabled screen and keypad. The ABB PP846 3BSE042238R1 helps improve productivity by centralizing operation and reducing the need to access the PLC or DCS hardware for routine tasks. Thanks to its robust front panel sealing, the ABB PP846 3BSE042238R1 can be used in harsh environments such as chemical plants, water treatment, power, and manufacturing lines.
