China Instrument and Control Society ABB Awarded

Beijing, China, September 7, 2010 – ABB, the world's leading power and automation technology group, announces at the 21st Multinational Instrumentation Conference and Exhibition 2010 (MICONEX 2010) organized by the China Instrument and Metering Society. , ABB extended automation systems 800xA and ABB for the control system of Qinghai Yuntianhua International Fertilizer Co., Ltd. phosphorus compound fertilizer project won the "China Instrument and Control Society Science and Technology Award." This is ABB's third consecutive year to receive this important award.

"We are very pleased to learn that ABB has won this award again. This is a strong testament to our leading technology and outstanding engineering capabilities in the field of automation," said Ma Ruide, head of the open control systems and measurement products business unit of ABB's Process Automation Business Unit.

ABB has been actively working to promote and apply efficient automation technology. In July 2010, ABB released the 5.1 version of its latest generation of expanded automation platform − System 800xA, which provides a true collaborative production environment for the enterprise through the in-depth integration of 800xA with various smart devices, systems and applications. System 800xA has a flexible system structure, strong openness, extensibility, and compatibility. It supports comprehensive fieldbus, security control, and electrical integration. The new version further improves the overall system while further optimizing the physical footprint. Performance and availability. System 800xA brings the integrated process and automation of electricity to highlight the “power of integration”. It is significant and far-reaching in promoting low-carbon society with synergy, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. It has won the approval of the judges and won The 2010 China Instrument Society's Science and Technology Award - Outstanding Product Award was awarded by China Institute of Instrumentation.

At the awards ceremony, ABB also harvested another important award. Qinghai Yuntianhua International Fertilizer Co., Ltd., a jointly authorized partner of ABB and ABB, responsible for control system design and implementation, won the “Science and Technology of 2010 China Instrument Society Award - Technology Achievement Award." Due to the use of field bus technology, OPC technology, information integration technology and distributed technology, the demand for cable and terminal in field devices and the workload for post-maintenance are greatly reduced, ensuring the integrity of the collected signals and the accuracy of the signals. The organic integration of various information resources, the project has achieved good social and economic benefits, praised by users.

The "China Instrument and Instrument Society Science and Technology Award" was established in 2001. It is approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology, authorized by the National Science and Technology Awards Office, and the Scientific and Technological Award set up by the China Instrument and Metering Society. It is selected once a year. The award is for the country's instrumentation field and is a recognized authoritative award for domestic instrumentation disciplines and industry.

ABB has won this national science and technology award for three consecutive years. In 2008, ABB's two automated system projects for a papermaking company and a chemical company in China were both awarded the “China Science and Technology Award - Science and Technology Achievement Award” in 2008; in 2009, ABB’s paper machine drive system project was again awarded "2009 China Instrument and Control Society Science and Technology Award - Excellent Product Award." This time it was also ABB's control system, that is, System 800xA won this award for the "Outstanding Product Award" for the first time.

ABB is a world leader in power and automation technology. ABB's technology can help power, utilities and industrial customers improve their performance while reducing their negative impact on the environment. ABB Group operates in more than 100 countries and has 117,000 employees. ABB has a full range of business activities in China including R&D, manufacturing, sales and engineering services.
