- A core component of the ABB Freelance Distributed Control System (DCS)
3BDS008790R09 is the Freelance 2016 Operations Standard Hardkey license for ABB's Freelance Distributed Control System (DCS). As the core license software for operator stations, its main function is to provide a standardized user interface, supporting real-time monitoring, graphical display, trend analysis, and panel operation of all tags in the production process.
This license also includes key functions such as Historian data recording, report generation, operator logs, Sequential Function Chart (SFC) display, and time scheduling, ensuring that plant maintenance personnel have a comprehensive grasp of production dynamics.
The 3BDS008790R09 ABB Freelance 2016 Operations Standard software may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

This software is applied at the operator level of factory automation, providing localized or distributed control without the need for a dedicated central server.
- Process Visualization: Create and view graphical displays, panels, and trend curves to monitor real-time factory data.
- Operation Control: Manage all process "tags," allowing operators to adjust setpoints, toggle switches, and acknowledge alarms.
- Data Archiving and Reporting: Utilize an integrated historical database to record operator actions and process values for historical analysis via an archive browser.
- Remote Monitoring: The license includes a web-based display runtime, allowing access to process screens from any networked device.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Provides automatically generated SFC (Sequence Function Chart) displays and system-level diagnostics down to the field device level.
Because Freelance is a "compact" distributed control system (DCS), this software is commonly used in small to medium-sized applications in the following industries:
- Chemical and Petrochemical Industries: Monitoring reactors, tanks, and distillation columns.
- Food and Beverage Industries: Managing batch processes and clean-in-situ (CIP) systems.
- Water Treatment and Wastewater Treatment: Controlling treatment circulation and distribution pumping stations.
- Power and Utilities: Monitoring the operation of boilers and turbines in small power plants.
