ABB IndustrialIT Panel 800 - PP846 Version 5.1

The Panel 800 operator panel is developed to satisfy the demands of human

machine communication. Built-in functions such as displaying and controlling text, 

dynamic indication, time channels, alarm and recipe handling are included.

 The operator panel work, for the most part, in an object-oriented way, making it 

easy to understand and use. The configuration operation of the panel is made in a 

personal computer, using the configuration tool Panel Builder 800. The project is 

then transferred and stored in the operator panel.

 The operator panel can be connected to many types of automation equipment, such 

as PLCs, servos or drives. In this manual the expression “the controller“ is used as a 

general term for the connected equipment

 Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of the operator panel must read and 

understand this installation manual.
