Advant Controller 160 is a scalable highly modular controller used within Advant OCS system for general applications which require high availability and redundancy.
It is offering a full complement of control and communication functions and meets high requirements concerning performance, reliability and safety for burner management, safety systems, turbine control etc. through redundancy for all central components.
Advant Controller 160 is designed to work stand alone as well as an integrated part of the Advant OCS system to suit a wide range of applications.
The following key words summarize the philosophy of the system:
• Integration
• Distribution
• Reliability
• Openness
• User Friendliness
• Investment Security and Expandability
Figure 1-1 demonstrates a typical system configuration with Advant Controller 160 only.
One example of an Advant OCS system configuration including Advant Controller 160 is shown in Figure 1-2.
Process Interface
Advant Controller 160 communicates with the process through various types of sensors and actuators connected to process interface units, or input/output (I/O) units.There are I/O units which can be placed directly in an Advant Controller 160 rack or units to be used at remote locations. The following signal types are supported:
• Analog Inputs
– Isolated and non-isolated inputs. Standard voltage (0 to 10 V, 0 to ±20 mA), Pt 100 and thermocouple inputs.
• Analog Outputs
– Isolated standard voltage or current outputs.
• Digital Inputs
– Isolated and non-isolated 24 to 60 V d.c., 24 to 250 V a.c./d.c, with SOE capabilities.
• Digital Output
– Isolated and non-isolated 24 to 60 V d.c., 24 to 250 V a.c./d.c., transistor and relay outputs.
• Pulse Counters
– Isolated, 5 V, 24 V d.c. or ±13 mA, max 100 kHz.
Operator interfaces
SattGraph 5000 Operator Station with Advant OPC Server
SattGraph 5000 is an ABB SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system based on Windows NT 4.0.
For interaction between operator and process it provides an HMI (Human Machine Interface), based on process graphics including information zooming, multiple windows and handling for control operations, events, alarms and historical value recording.
SattGraph 5000 and Advant Controller 160 communicate via OPC Server for Advant Fieldbus 100. This software is an ABB product that provides a standard OPC interface to connect any OPC Client (also third party products) to Advant Fieldbus 100 and thus establishes access to Advant Controller 160.
AdvaSoft 2.0 for Windows NT with Advant OPC Server
AdvaSoft 2.0 for Windows NT is an Operator Station based on Windows NT 4.0.
For interaction between operator and process it provides an HMI (Human Machine Interface), based on process graphics including information zooming, multiple windows and handling for control operations, events, alarms and historical value recording.
Advasoft 2.0 and Advant Controller 160 communicate via OPC Server for Advant Fieldbus 100. This software is an ABB product that provides a standard OPC interface to connect any OPC Client (also third party products) to Advant Fieldbus 100 and thus establisher access to Advant Controller 160.
Advant Station 500 Operator Station
Within Advant Station 500 Operator Station (AS 500OS) all process objects are operated by dynamic function keys which pop up by just clicking on the symbol of the object, e.g., a pump, in the process display. Additionally to the buttons for process operation these keys provide a wide range of functions as acknowledgement, alarm blocking, limit and parameter setting, etc.
AS 500OS supports binary history and archiving as well as retrieval.
Engineering
Advant Station 100 Series Engineering Station
Advant Station 100 Series Engineering Station (AS 100ES) is a ready to use system and includes everything necessary for configuration and programming of Advant Controllers.
AS 100ES is an PC-based programming and service tool suitable for use in industrial environment and satisfying the Advant OCS environmental immunity specifications and safety standards. It supports program entry, testing, documentation and fault tracing. It also features graphical function chart programming and a user interface with windows, pull-down menus and “point and click” selection.
The software Control Builder A (CBA) installed on Advant Station 100 Series Engineering Stations is offering the following main functions:
• Application data administration with Application Builder.
• System and application configuration of Advant Controller 400 Series, MasterPiece 200/1,
MasterGate 230/1, Advant Station 500 Series Operator Station, and MasterView 800/1 by
On-line Builder.
• Application configuration of Advant Controller 400 Series and MasterPiece 200/1 process
stations off-line using Function Chart Builder.
• Application configuration and commissioning, including fault tracing of Advant Controller 100 Series on-line and off-line by Function Chart Builder.
• Configuration support for AF 100 OPC by Bus Configuration Builder
Advant Station 100 Series Engineering Board is needed for command execution and serves as an interface between Advant Station 100 Series Engineering Stations and target systems of type Advant Controller 400 Series.
