Basic Unit
The Basic Unit for Advant Controller 160 comprises the following components (Table 4-5):
RF616:Subrack.
RC610:Cable duct.
System Software: CD-ROM containing System Software, AMPL Libraries, documentation.
The basic subrack of the controller may consist of one or two subracks.
In accordance to the desired Advant Controller 160 functionality the Basic Unit may be equipped with a various number of the available Processor Modules and Communication Interfaces.
The following rules apply for hardware configuration of the basic station of a controller:
• The two subracks must be put in the same cabinet.
• The power supply terminals (USA, USB, ZD) of the two subracks must be linked. For EMI considerations, the subracks should be grounded with a 16 mm2 copper lead.
• Up to six Processor Modules can be used within one Basic Unit.
• The Processor Modules must always be put in position 3 to 8 in the basic subrack
• At least one Communication Interface module CI626, CI627, CI630, or CI631 in position 2 is required within any Advant Controller 160 configuration—even if no Advant Fieldbus 100 communication is required.
• The Communication Interface module for the main Advant Fieldbus 100 must be put in position 2 (non redundant interface), or in position 1 and 2 (redundant interface) of the same subrack. Usable Communication Interfaces are CI630 or CI631 for non redundant or redundant interface, CI626 or CI627 for non redundant interface only.
• The Communication Interface module for the subordinate Advant Fieldbus 100 must be put in position 9 or 10 (non redundant interface), in position 9 and 10 (redundant interface) of the same subrack. Usable Communication Interfaces are CI630 or CI631 for non redundant or redundant interface, CI626 or CI627 for non redundant interface only.
• One Submodule Carrier module per controller is supported. SC610 is not supported by dual redundant Processor Modules (CPU redundancy). It requires a single Processor Module or a Processor Module of type PM645B, PM646, or PM665 within station redundancy.
• If I/O stations are connected, the bus extender modules CI615 can be put in position 3…10 of the basic subrack.
• Up to two optional power supply modules SA610 per subrack can be put in position 9 and 10 (basic subrack) and 19 and 20 (extension subrack).
All modules can be replaced during system operation.

For the typical Advant Controller 160 applications the following Basic Unit controller configurations are essential:
• Basic Unit with one Processor Module PM640 for non redundant processing.
• Basic Unit with one Processor Module PM644 for non redundant processing with on board PROFIBUS-DP (master class 1) interface and on-board rotational speed signal input (e.g. for turbine control).
• Basic Unit with one Processor Module PM645 (type B) for dual or triple redundant processing with on-board redundancy voter and on-board rotational speed signal input (e.g. for turbine control).
– For dual redundancy an additional Processor Module PM645B within the same station or in another station is necessary.
– For triple redundancy two additional Processor Modules PM645B within different stations are necessary.
• Basic Unit with one Processor Module PM646 for dual or triple redundant processing with on-board redundancy voter.
– For dual redundancy an additional Processor Module PM646 within the same station or in another station is necessary.
– For triple redundancy two additional Processor Modules PM646 within different stations are necessary.
• Basic Unit with one Processor Module PM665 for dual or triple redundant processing with on-board redundancy voter and on-board rotational speed signal input (e.g. for turbine control).
– For dual redundancy an additional Processor Module PM665 within the same station or in another station is necessary.
– For triple redundancy two additional Processor Modules PM665 within different stations are necessary
I/O systems
For Advant Controller 160 the S600 local I/O and the S800 distributed I/O systems are used. The maximum number of I/O signals for an Advant Controller 160 is 1,500. The actual CPU load depends on the configured cycle times for the application program.
