The ABB Hartmann & Braun (H&B) Freelance 2000 system is a versatile Distributed Control System (DCS) designed to bridge the gap between traditional PLC flexibility and high-end DCS power. Built upon a robust architectural foundation, the series—featuring the AC 700F, AC 800F, and legacy Rack-based controllers—offers seamless integration of fieldbus technologies including PROFIBUS, Foundation Fieldbus, and HART. This series is characterized by its "compact" footprint and industrial-grade reliability, supporting complex regulatory control and sequential operations with a unified engineering environment. The modular I/O units and redundant communication modules provide the fault tolerance required for continuous process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and water treatment. For engineers maintaining legacy H&B installations, sourcing genuine replacement modules for DigiVis HMI stations and rack-mounted process stations is essential for minimizing process interruptions and extending system lifecycle.
