- Calibration of PAPCP REH Hardware Equipment
This guide describes the procedure for monitoring, inspection and calibration of used test and measurement equipment. It is valid for the PAPCP REH instruments.
- Cyber Security In User Documentation
User documentation should provide the necessary information to help the customer ensure that the site is as secure as possible.
- Explosion Protection
Explosion protection is the method called which reduces the risk of an unwanted ignition of an explosive atmosphere. The statutory definitions of explosion protection derived from the health and safety at work regulations are related to workplaces.
- FPGA Design - Methodology and VHDL-Syntax
This guide defines requirements and methodologies for VHDL designs and test benches. It helps PA develop FPGAs using VHDL.
- Hardware Development
Hardware development involves the design and manufacture of electromechanical devices. It includes CAD models, prototypes, manufacturing documentation, and certifications.
- How-to Create a New Mechanics Design
Mechanics includes all parts that are not electrical, such as housings, baseplates, and labels. All mechanics are created in a CAD tool.
- How-to Handle Minor Hardware Revisions
Some minor hardware changes to products can be implemented without setting up a project. This guide describes the steps involved and the checklists that shall be used.
- How-to Manage Bugs
A bug is an unexpected problem in the software or hardware which can be reported for any issue in a product by e.g. product managers, product owners, test engineers, or customers (via L3 or L4 Support).
- How-to Manage Hardware Certifications
Various certifications are applied for in the development of products. This guide covers the ten activities of the general certification flow, and includes specific information regarding marine certifications, certifications for hazardous areas, certification affecting manufacturers, and the order of certification applications.
- How-to Manage Stop and Start Orders
This guide describes the routines for stopping and restarting the manufacturing, delivery and/or ordering of products within PCP.
- New Product Introduction (NPI)
Hardware products are manufactured by Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS). The EMS is responsible for assembling the product according to ABB design. This page describes key items in the New Product Introduction (NPI).
- Product Lifecycle Management in Windchill
A Product lifecycle management (PLM) system enables collaboration between different functions by gathering all productrelevant data in one place. For hardware development, the choice is in Windchill. This page intends to be a goto page for how to find information regarding Windchill.
- Pull Request Reference
What is a pull request?
- Reference: Considerations to make in PCB layout
This page is intended to be a base for the creation of a new PCB layout. It is meant to be supported together with the PCB layout checklist, which is to be used in the development of the layout.
- Reference: Engineering Service Request (ESR) vs Engineering Change Order (ECO)
The engineering service request is the main template to be used during development. The purpose of this site is to reference the two different options when communicating with a Service Provider (for instance layout work, parts list, etc.).
- Reference: Handling of HW maintenance
Hardware development has a lot of interactions with internal ABB functions and external suppliers, manufacturers, and customers. This page is intended to give an overview of how maintenance tasks come to the R&D Hardware teams.
- Reference: High-speed design formulas
All relevant formulas which are necessary for highspeed design analysis are listed on this page.
- Reference: Structure of Combitrol & Combimatic documentation
This page is intended to give an overview of what kind of documentation is present for the Combitrol & Combimatic documentation.
- Reference: What does the Production Package contain?
A production package is created for every product and is the basis for a manufacturer. A production site is commonly called an electronic manufacturing service (EMS). This list is used by the EMS to create the product (box build).
- Reference: What is an Approved Manufacturer List (AML)?
The AML is the Approved manufacturer list. It is a list of electronic components, PCB, mechanical parts and labels, which are all approved by ABB PA PCP.
- Security Testing Guideline
Introduction
- Tutorial: Creating schematics or Circuit diagrams
This page is intended to be a base for the creation of new schematics or circuit diagrams. It is meant to be support together with a checklist (7PAA010429 CDSchematics Design Checklist) that is to be used in the development of schematics. The tool that is used for this is called Xpedition designer (Mentor graphis).
