Application Scenarios
At a Scandinavian district heating plant, aging operator terminals caused slow response times and frequent reboots during winter peak demand. The facility upgraded to ABB CP800 HMIs integrated with their existing AC 800M control system. The new panels provided instant access to real-time temperature, pressure, and flow trends via intuitive touchscreens, while the embedded web server allowed maintenance engineers to monitor boiler status remotely via tablets—even from home. During a critical pump cavitation event, operators used the CP800’s alarm history and trending tools to isolate the issue in under 3 minutes, preventing a system-wide shutdown. In this scenario, the ABB CP800 transformed from a simple display into a proactive operational intelligence hub.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values
Innovation Point 1: Native Web Server for Secure Remote Access
The ABB CP800 hosts a built-in web server that allows authorized users to view process graphics, alarms, and trends from any standard browser—without requiring additional software or cloud services. Ideal for troubleshooting during off-hours or pandemics.
Innovation Point 2: Tight Integration with ABB Ecosystem
When used with System 800xA or AC 800M, the CP800 enables single-point configuration, automatic tag synchronization, and unified alarm management—reducing engineering time by up to 40%.
Innovation Point 3: Open Architecture for Multi-Vendor Environments
Despite being an ABB product, the CP800 supports OPC UA, Modbus TCP, and PROFIBUS, making it suitable for hybrid plants with Siemens, Rockwell, or Schneider equipment.
Innovation Point 4: Long-Term Availability & Cyber Resilience
ABB guarantees long lifecycle support (10+ years) and provides firmware updates for cybersecurity hardening—critical for infrastructure with decades-long operational horizons.
Application Cases and Industry Value
In a South American copper mine, dust and vibration had degraded older HMIs within 18 months. After deploying ABB CP800 panels with IP65 fronts and solid-state design, uptime improved to 99.98% over three years. The built-in trending feature also helped optimize conveyor belt speeds based on ore density—boosting throughput by 7%.
A European wastewater treatment plant used the CP800’s recipe management to automate seasonal chemical dosing changes. Operators simply selected “Summer Mode” or “Winter Mode,” and the HMI adjusted setpoints across 12 pumps and mixers—eliminating manual errors and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Configuration is performed using Panel Builder 600—a drag-and-drop engineering tool that supports reusable graphic libraries, alarm groups, and user roles. Firmware updates and backup/restore are handled via USB or Ethernet.
We perform full functional validation on every CP800 unit, including:
Touchscreen responsiveness test
Ethernet and serial communication verification
Boot-up time and stability under thermal stress
Compatibility check with common PLC protocols
All units are sourced through ABB-authorized channels, ensuring genuine hardware and full traceability. Each comes with a 24-month warranty, original documentation, and optional extended support packages.
