Process control for all plant development phases

Everything is relative. So when you hear ABB's application engineers referring to Advant OCS with AdvaSoft for Windows, Advant Controller 70 and Advant Controller 110 as our small system you should know that they do it only for comparative reasons and for want of a better description. Because the fact is that this industrial process automation system is not easily outgrown, neither in terms of functional range, nor in terms of processing power. And yet it is cost-effective enough to be your natural choice even if
The system includes the PC-based operator/information management station offering state-of-the-art information management, process supervision and interaction in real-time.

your initial need is only a handful of process inputs and outputs. Thanks to built-in technical and economical scalability, the system is suitable for a wide range of production plants and able to grow with yours in whatever direction your expansion plans will take it. From all aspects, the system offers plenty of benefits that ultimately enables you to produce more from less.

Compliance with industry standards makes the system open to supplementary applications and to integration with all other computer systems throughout the plant.

Advant Controller 70
Advant Controller 70 is a modular process controller offering a full complement of process control functions, from logic to regulatory control. It also provides a full range of process inputs and outputs for industry-standard d.c and a.c. signal levels and devices, including resistance-temperature sensors and thermocouples. So process devices can be wired up to the controllers with a minimum of signal conditioning. Digital process interfacing modules typically provide 16 channels while analog modules offer 8. Since an Advant Controller 70 can accommodate 12 I/O modules this means up to 192 digitals or 96 analogs per controller or any mix between the two extremes.

However, up to 80 nodes can be installed along a single Advant Fieldbus 100, making a system of multiple Advant Controller 70s capable of managing many thousands of I/O. The controller is programmed in AMPL, the graphic language used throughout Advant OCS with Master software. It can even be programmed while being online to the process, making it easy to fix program errors and adapt the scheme to changing needs. And I/O and communication modules can be replaced live to minimize the disturbances caused by hardware failures and system expansions.

Advant Controller 110

Advant Controller 110 is a rack- and boardbased process controller offering the same control and communication functions as Advant Controller 70 does, Modbus 3964R plus support for RCOM, ABB's protocol for serial communication over permanent or switched telecommunication lines. The Advant Fieldbus 100 interfaces support dual bus redundancy as standard, providing instant and bumples change-over in case of bus cable breakage, etc. Advant Controller 110 is fast; it can execute application programs with cycle times as short as 2 ms, making the unit particularly well suited to demanding logic control applications.

Remote data acquisition

ABB's communication protocol RCOM facilitates long-distance communication with remote terminals over dedicated or dial-up telecommunication lines. In this way, Advant Controller 110 can serve as the central point of a cost-effective data acquisition/ telecontrol system, with Advant Controller 110 or Advant Controller 55 as remote terminals.

Advant Controller 110 is the larger process controller with higher processing speed and greater communication capabilities.

By time-tagging events at the source, the controllers facilitate accurate sequential events recording, making it possible to easily pinpoint the primary reasons for trouble. 5

Tough enough to take what comes

Advant Controller 70
Advant Controller 70 is modularly designed, consisting of passive module termination units (MTUs) mounted side by side on standard DIN rails. These MTUs extend the internal communication bus incrementally

and provide screw terminals for all in- and outgoing cables. Process I/O modules, plugged onto the MTUs, provide the interface required to the outside world. Installation can hardly be simpler:

SE 962144

SE 962148

SE 962147

Hook the MTU onto the top edge of the mounting rail and snap the bottom latch into place. A contact spring provides grounding automatically.

Slide the MTU along the rail to make contact with the adjacent base.

Plug the I/O unit onto the MTU. The installation process takes not more than a minute.

SE 960595

The I/O modules can be mounted vertically or horizontally on a single rail or be distributed across several, in the latter case using plug-in interconnecting cables.
SE 960581

Extended MTUs provide fuses and terminals, eliminating the need for external cable marshalling. Cables with up to 4 mm2 cores can be terminated directly. 8

Advant Controller 110

Advant Controller 110 consists of 19" racks in which power supply, processor, communication and process I/O boards are plugged in. All boards are enclosed in sheet metal covers which protect against electromagnetic interference inside the rack and rough handling outside it. The process cables are terminated on multi-pole connectors that plug in on the front of the boards. Below the boards, at the front, there is a duct for process cables.

SE 950181

Communication and process interfacing modules can be replaced live, which simplifies maintenance, faulttracing and system expansion.

Suitable packaging for each application

Advant Controller 110 can be installed in various enclosures, from wall-mounting boxes to floor-standing cabinets, depending on station size and customer preferences. In floor-standing cabinets, it can be installed at the inside back or in a swing-out frame. The latter alternative provides easy access to both the front and the back of the equipment and makes the entire inside backplane available for process cable termination and marshalling.

The advantage of efficient engineering

Application programs are developed graphically sheet by sheet in the AdvaBuild for Windows, by laying out required blocks and then connecting them to other blocks and to process inputs and outputs.

Advant Controller 70 and Advant Controller 110 are configured and debugged with AdvaBuild for Windows, a highly efficient, user-friendly, engineering software package supporting all engineering phases, from I/O definition to fault tracing. Graphic process displays for operator stations are easily created with AdvaBuild for Windows.
SE 962129

The programs look the same on paper as on the screen. That is particularly important when it is time for debugging; Then, the paper provides overview and the screen detail, including live updating of signal values and back-tracking of logic signals to the source.

Both the system software and the application program are stored in non-volatile read/write Flash-PROM, ensuring that the controller never suffers from loss of memory. Yet it is easy to change or update the program during commissioning or at any time with a portable PC or an AdvaSoft for Windows operator station.

The ABB advantage: peace of mind

Buying a production control system is a strategic decision that cannot be taken lightly. The system must be right not only now but for years to come. And the supplier must be there to support it during that time. By taking advantage of the latest technological advantages, yet safeguarding backward compatibility, and basing all designs on the

industry standards that count, ABB satisfies the technical requirements involved. And ABB's track record in, resources for, and long-term commitment to production control is probably the best guarantee of long-term support you can get. That is why Advant OCS, above all, offers peace of mind.
