Advant Controller 500 series 500BIO01 1MRB150005R0001 1MRB200060/E ABB

Advant Station 500 Series

The Advant Station 500 Series workstations offer industry-leading performance, built in networking, and outstanding graphics. ABB adds hardware and software compo nents to adapt the basic platform to today’s demanding real-time industrial requirements of process plant operations.

Advant Station 500 Series workstations perform a wide variety of functions in the system when combined with basic and optional software. Available software packages are AdvaCommand operator interface software, AdvaBuild engineering software, AdvaInform information man agement software, and Batch 300™ batch control and management software.

Each Advant Station can be optimized for a single function, or multiple functions can be combined onto a single station. Both hardware and software are scalable throughout the entire Advant Station 500 Series.

Additionally, the Real-Time Accelerator extends the capabilities of the workstation. With a powerful processor and on-board memory, the Real-Time Accelerator handles time-critical tasks such as real-time database management and DCN communications. By performing front-end processing, the accelerator lets the workstation processor dedicate its resources to those applications that the user interacts with directly.

Advant Station 500 Series operates with a state-of-the-art man/machine interface. The user interface includes high-resolution monitors, X Window driven displays, and an advanced graphics building package. Workstations can support multiple high resolution monitors, PC-based X terminals, and keyboard, trackball, mouse and/or touch screen combinations.

Controller Hardware

Advant offers a wide range of control solutions to meet your specific application requirements. The Advant Controller 400 Series utilizes the benefits of MOD 300 control languages and a global database. The controllers reside on the same DCN as the Advant Stations and share data in a seamless manner.

Advant Controller 400 Series provides direct access to many field control and data input devices such as PLCs, analyz ers, smart devices, bar code readers, etc.

Personality submodules contain specific protocols. If a new protocol is required, a new module is simply plugged into the controller. With this visionary architecture, technologies such as fieldbus and high speed fiber-optic can be easily integrated into the system.

At the heart of the Advant Controller is the CPU module which performs the primary functions of data acquisition, continuous and sequential control, interlocks, commu nications, and I/O support.

The Advant Controller 460 allows backup security for both hardware and software through redundancy of control processors, I/O, communication and power supplies. If a redundant controller fails, all control software functions transfer to a backup controller.

Fieldbus Technolog

Fieldbus technology offers process engineers not only a new way to communicate, but a whole new way to control the process. Recognizing manufacturing end-users’ increasing demand for accelerated devel opment of a single, open, interoperable and international fieldbus standard, ABB has positioned itself and its products to meet this demand. As fieldbus technology expands the ease of information collected from the field, ABB will help ensure that plant operators and managers will be able to have tighter control and improved performance over their process.

I/O Strategies

The Advant system supports a wide vari ety of I/O options to meet various project requirements. I/O strategies can be select ed independent of the choice of control techniques, and any combination of I/O strategy and control language is valid. Selection can be based on minimizing installation costs, per-point costs, or maximizing security.

Series 800 I/O

ABB has designed S800 I/O from your process point of view by saving installa tion time, maintenance costs, and panel space. It also reduces down-time, which in turn increases productivity.

Its many features make it reliable, fault tolerant and give it superb auto-diagnostic capabilities, which helps keep your plant up and running. It has built-in protection for data communications with the parent controller, and its handshaking and check sum handling allow it to achieve zero errors.

Its modular design permits step-by-step system expansion. Modules may be re moved and reinserted while the rest of the station is in service, preventing disruptive and costly downtime. S800 I/O can also be incrementally expanded while the process remains on-line. S800 I/O can be mounted in many configurations to fit a wide variety of requirements.

Series 100 I/O

Series 100 I/O is a local I/O that offers a cost-effective control solution for a wide range of redundant or non-redundant applications. The S100 I/O system consists of I/O modules with 4 to 32 channels, de pending on type, which are placed in the I/O subracks. The Advant Controller 410 includes an integral S100 I/O card file. The Advant Controller 460 interfaces to the S100 I/O through an interface module.
