ABB secures major contract with Spirax Sarco

ABB has secured its single largest UK OEM account to date for ABB PLC and HMI products following the signing of a two-year agreement with Spirax Sarco.

ABB and system integrator, Tycon Automation worked with Spirax Sarco to develop a control system for Spirax Sarco's Next Generation EasiHeat.ABB is the single source supply for all control components in the product and includes an AC500 PLC and CP600 HMI, together with an array of ABB low voltage products. By using standard modular control components, the system can be easily expanded. The new control system allows access to validate energy data along with CO2 and carbon emissions.

"Having this information readily available will make the production of reports for energy managers simple," says Chris Rowlands, senior group business development executive of Spirax Sarco.
