1. INTRODUCTION
This document is the release notes for the HPC800, PNI800, PDP800, HAI/HAO805 Symphony Plus Control
and IO products. This document provides a brief overview on Symphony Plus functionality. It enumerates
known problems encountered in the final testing of this product release and identifies workarounds that help
overcome the problem. The document contains additional notes that may be valuable to customers and
service personnel working with the product.
1.1
Overview
Symphony Plus is a completely new Control System based on field proven Harmony technology.
 PN800 Plant Network is redundant, 100 MB Ethernet running “Infi-Net over Ethernet” protocol
o The PNI800 module allows S+ Operations and S+ Engineering tools to interface to the
PN800 network
 HPC800 is DIN-Rail Controller / PCU consisting of 2 modules mounted in a common base (MB810)
o HC800 Control Processor – Similar to the functionality provided by the Symphony system’s
BRC controller.
o CP800 Communications Processor – Similar to the functionality provided by the Symphony
system’s NIS / NPM modules.
 PDP800 Profibus Interface for HPC800
o Supports S800 I/O, S+ Turbine Control & Protection modules, and Profibus PA using DPPA protocol adaptors
 HAI805 and HAO805 HART Analog I/O Modules.
Figure 1 shows the PN800 network architecture.

1.2
S+Control & I/O Module Descriptions
All Symphony Plus modules are DIN-rail mounted devices and are powered using 24 VDC. See the user manuals for
installation, configuration, operation and troubleshooting procedures. The following sections provide a brief overview of
each Symphony Plus product.
1.2.1 PNI800
Figure 2 PNI800 Module Mounted in the MB805 Base
The PNI800 provides the hardened, industrial PC Workstation to PN800 Plant Network interface, similar to the CIU for
Infi-Net. The PNI800 establishes and maintains the XR database for HMI console applications and the Communications
Server function for Composer. Similar to IET800, PNI800 requires a software license, is configured using the
“HsysConfig“ utility that is embedded within Composer, S+ Operations, 800xA for Harmony, etc.
1.2.2 HPC800 Controller
Figure 3 Redundant HPC800 Controller
The HPC800 employs a high performance MCF5475 ColdFire CPU processor with over 400 MIPS, 64 MB DDR2, 2 MB
NVRAM, and 1MB Flash (firmware). Each module only consumes 5 W of power @ 24VDC.
The HPC800 has expanded ModBus TCP interface capability over previous Symphony controllers such as the BRC400.
The HPC800 supports up to 8 Servers, 128 Clients and 10,000 ModBus points. The HPC800 consists of the HC800
Control Processor, CP800, Communications Processor, and the MB810 Mounting Base.
1.2.3 PROFIBUS Master Module - PDP800
Figure 4 Redundant PDP800 Modules Mounted in the PTU810 Base
The PDP800 Profibus DP Interface is a PROFIBUS Master. The PDP800 is based on the latest generation ColdFire
54418 CPU from Freescale (Motorola). The PDP800 has 128 MB DRAM, and 4 MB Flash Memory. The PDP800
supports Profibus DP – V0, V1, V2 directly on the module, and Profibus PA using DP to PA protocol adaptors (e.g. P+F
Profibus PowerHub). The PDP800 provides both Master & Line Redundancy and supports baud rates from 9.6 kB to
12.0 MB.
INICI800
Release Notes
When communicating @ 12 MB, PDP800 can be configured to scan Profibus in as little as 2 msec.
Turbine Control closed loop step response time of 25 msec has been demonstrated using the HPC800, PDP800 and the
DIN-Rail TC modules.
1.2.4 HART Analog Input and Output Modules – HAI805 & HAO805
The HAI805 HART AI and HAO805 HART AO modules have been designed to provide the highest possible performance
possible with current HART communications technology. Both modules have a dedicated HART modem on each of their
8 channels. This enables the modules to scan the each Input / Output channel for up to 4 “Secondary” variables in under
1 second. Thus, the secondary variables are can be used for control within the HPC800 controller. The HAI805 support
both System & Field powered 4 – 20 mADC inputs, and HAO805 supports only System powered 4 – 20 mADC outputs.

4. KNOWN PROBLEMS
The following problems have been identified in the Symphony Plus HC800, CP800, PDP800, HAI805 and
HAO805 products.

A running primary PDP800 may halt when a
redundant PDP800 is inserted into the PTU810
mounting base.
PDP800
PDP800
PDP800
The PDP800 modules lose communications with
the CI840 modules and connected S800 I/O
modules
Redundant PDP800 module halted with MFT
Workarounds, Clarifications, and Helpful
Hints
SOE is not supported in this release of
Symphony Plus.
Retry until connection is successful or use
Composer Harmony to monitor PROFIBUS
devices.
Recover the halted module by pressing the
STOP/RESET pushbutton once.
To prevent the condition from occurring
remove and insert modules directly into the
mounting base, i.e. do not tilt the module at
an angle. See the user manual for insertion
and removal instructions.
Restart the CI840 modules to recover
communications with the CI840 and any
connect S800 I/O modules
Reset the PDP800 module
PDP800
Redundant PDP800 module halted with an
address/bus error (error 32).
Reset the PDP800 module
CP800,
PNI800
Loss of I/P address and PNI800 license string
may occurs during power cycling.

HC800
The backup controller takes a long time to come
online when the "Go Back" option is used during
online configuration.
Unable to download parameters to PDP800,
HAI805, or HAO805 module.
Reformat the backup module after
performing a “Go Back” during online
configuration.
Retry download until successful.
PDP800 may halt with an MFT when attempting to
download a CLD containing FC222. May result in
loss of PROFIBUS I/O subsystem
Reset PDP800 module and attempt
download again.
