Description

PP875: Product Overview
The ABB PP875 is a 15-inch graphical operator panel belonging to the Panel 800 series, designed to serve as the primary human-machine interface (HMI) in industrial automation systems. Its position in an automation system is to act as the central point of interaction for operators, providing a visual representation of the process controlled by a PLC, DCS, or other controller. It displays real-time data, historical trends, alarm lists, and system diagnostics, while also allowing operators to input commands, modify setpoints, and manage recipes.
The core functionality involves the acquisition of process data via various industrial communication protocols, rendering it on a high-resolution screen, and transmitting user commands back to the controller. The panel runs a real-time operating system and a graphical environment that can be customized using ABB’s engineering software. This allows for the creation of intuitive graphical objects that represent pumps, valves, and other field devices, making the process state immediately understandable to the operator.
This panel belongs to the Panel 800 product family, a platform recognized for its consistency, ease of use, and robust mechanical design. The benefits of this platform include a uniform look and feel across different screen sizes, which simplifies operator training, and a modular architecture that allows for straightforward expansion or replacement. The platform’s support for a wide range of communication protocols ensures interoperability with numerous controller brands and field devices, protecting the customer’s investment in existing control infrastructure.

Core Features & Customer Value
The large 15-inch TFT display provides a clear and comprehensive view of the process, allowing operators to monitor multiple parameters and trends simultaneously. This enhanced visualization reduces the cognitive load on the operator, enabling quicker identification of abnormal conditions and more effective decision-making. The resistive touchscreen offers reliable operation, even when wearing gloves, which is common in industrial settings.
Support for a broad spectrum of industrial communication protocols is a key feature. This flexibility allows the PP875 to integrate seamlessly with a wide variety of controllers, including ABB’s own AC800M, as well as third-party PLCs from manufacturers like Siemens, Rockwell Automation, and Schneider Electric. For the engineer, this eliminates the need for protocol conversion gateways, reducing system cost, complexity, and potential points of failure.
The panel’s robust design, with its high front protection rating, ensures reliable operation in demanding environments such as pulp and paper mills or food processing plants. The ability to store recipes and log data to an SD card or USB stick provides value for batch-oriented processes and facilitates compliance with quality standards. Furthermore, the consistent user interface across the Panel 800 series simplifies training and reduces the risk of operator error when upgrading or expanding a system.

Typical Applications
In a water and wastewater treatment plant, the PP875 is used to display the status of pumps, chemical dosing systems, and tank levels. Operators can acknowledge alarms, override automatic control, and view historical data for regulatory reporting. Its robust design withstands the humid and chemically-laden atmosphere of such facilities.
For a batch processing application in the pharmaceutical industry, the panel runs a recipe management system. An operator can select a product batch, and the HMI guides them through the process steps, displaying critical parameters and logging all actions for validation purposes. The large screen allows for clear visualization of the batch progression.
In a power distribution substation, the PP875 interfaces with protective relays and SCADA systems via IEC 60870-5-101/104 or DNP3 protocols (with a gateway). It displays electrical quantities like voltage, current, and power, and provides a local interface for viewing event reports and manually controlling switchgear when necessary.
