Process control for all plant development phases

Everything is relative. So when you hearABB's application engineers referring toAdvant OCS with AdvaSoft for Windows,Advant Controller 70 and Advant Controller110 as “our small system” you should knowthat they do it only for comparative reasonsand for want of a better description. Becausethe fact is that this industrial process automa-tion system is not easily outgrown, neither interms of functional range, nor in terms ofprocessing power. And yet it is cost-effectiveenough to be your natural choice even if

your initial need is only a handful of processinputs and outputs.

Thanks to built-in technical and economicalscalability, the system is suitable for a widerange of production plants and able to growwith yours in whatever direction yourexpansion plans will take it.

From all aspects, the system offers plenty ofbenefits that ultimately enables you toproduce more from less.

The system includes thePC-based operator/informa-tion management stationoffering state-of-the-artinformation management,process supervision andinteraction in real-time.

Compliance with industrystandards makes the sys-tem open to supplementaryapplications and to integra-tion with all other computersystems throughout theplant.

Adaptable process controllers for adaptable plants

However, up to 80 nodes can be installedalong a single Advant Fieldbus 100, making asystem of multiple Advant Controller 70scapable of managing many thousands of I/O.

The controller is programmed in AMPL, thegraphic language used throughout AdvantOCS with Master software.

It can even be programmed while being on-line to the process, making it easy to fixprogram errors and adapt the scheme tochanging needs. And I/O and communica-tion modules can be replaced live to mini-mize the disturbances caused by hardwarefailures and system expansions.

Advant Controller 70Advant Controller 70 is a modular processcontroller offering a full complement ofprocess control functions, from logic toregulatory control. It also provides a fullrange of process inputs and outputs forindustry-standard d.c and a.c. signal levelsand devices, including resistance-temperaturesensors and thermocouples. So processdevices can be wired up to the controllerswith a minimum of signal conditioning.

Digital process interfacing modules typicallyprovide 16 channels while analog modulesoffer 8. Since an Advant Controller 70 canaccommodate 12 I/O modules this means upto 192 digitals or 96 analogs per controller orany mix between the two extremes.

Advant Controller 70 is asmall and compact processcontroller that can be laidout in a virtually infinitenumber of ways.

Advant Controller 110Advant Controller 110 is a rack- and board-based process controller offering the samecontrol and communication functions asAdvant Controller 70 does, Modbus 3964Rplus support for RCOM, ABB's protocol forserial communication over permanent orswitched telecommunication lines.

The Advant Fieldbus 100 interfaces supportdual bus redundancy as standard, providinginstant and bumples change-over in case ofbus cable breakage, etc.

Advant Controller 110 is fast; it can executeapplication programs with cycle times asshort as 2 ms, making the unit particularlywell suited to demanding logic controlapplications.

Remote data acquisitionABB's communication protocol RCOMfacilitates long-distance communication withremote terminals over dedicated or dial-uptelecommunication lines. In this way, AdvantController 110 can serve as the central pointof a cost-effective data acquisition/telecontrol system, with Advant Controller110 or Advant Controller 55 as remoteterminals.

Advant Controller 110 is thelarger process controllerwith higher processingspeed and greater commu-nication capabilities.

By time-tagging events atthe source, the controllersfacilitate accurate sequentialevents recording, making itpossible to easily pinpointthe primary reasons for trou-ble.LM

The entire process in the palm of your hand

AdvaSoft for Windows is a software packagefor the Microsoft Windows operating envi-ronment, providing industrial process opera-tors and managers with a platform for allkinds of interaction with the productionprocesses via standard PCs.

AdvaCommand for Windows, the add-onoperator interface to AdvaSoft for Windowsgives operators full control of the process inreal time with the following functionality:

Object displays provide awealth of information abouteach process device for tun-ing and fault tracing. Thesedisplays are created auto-matically.

Tough enough to take what comes

Advant Controller 70Advant Controller 70 is modularly designed,consisting of passive module terminationunits (MTUs) mounted side by side onstandard DIN rails. These MTUs extend theinternal communication bus incrementally

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

Hook the MTU onto the topedge of the mounting railand snap the bottom latchinto place. A contact springprovides grounding auto-matically.

Plug the I/O unit onto theMTU. The installation proc-ess takes not more than aminute.

Extended MTUs provide fuses and terminals, eliminating theneed for external cable marshalling. Cables with up to 4 mm2

cores can be terminated directly.

The I/O modules can be mounted vertically or horizontally ona single rail or be distributed across several, in the latter caseusing plug-in interconnecting cables.

Advant Controller 110Advant Controller 110 consists of 19" racks inwhich power supply, processor, communica-tion and process I/O boards are plugged in.All boards are enclosed in sheet metal coverswhich protect against electromagnetic inter-ference inside the rack and rough handlingoutside it. The process cables are terminatedon multi-pole connectors that plug in on thefront of the boards. Below the boards, at thefront, there is a duct for process cables.

Suitable packaging for eachapplicationAdvant Controller 110 can be installed invarious enclosures, from wall-mountingboxes to floor-standing cabinets, dependingon station size and customer preferences.In floor-standing cabinets, it can be installedat the inside back or in a swing-out frame.The latter alternative provides easy access toboth the front and the back of the equipmentand makes the entire inside backplaneavailable for process cable termination andmarshalling.

The advantage of efficient engineering

Advant Controller 70 and Advant Controller110 are configured and debugged withAdvaBuild for Windows, a highly efficient,user-friendly, engineering software packagesupporting all engineering phases, from I/Odefinition to fault tracing.Graphic process displays for operator sta-tions are easily created with AdvaBuild forWindows.

Both the system softwareand the application programare stored in non-volatileread/write Flash-PROM, en-suring that the controllernever suffers from loss ofmemory. Yet it is easy tochange or update the pro-gram during commissioningor at any time with a port-able PC or an AdvaSoft forWindows operator station.

The programs look thesame on paper as on thescreen. That is particularlyimportant when it is time fordebugging; Then, the paperprovides overview and thescreen detail, including liveupdating of signal valuesand back-tracking of logicsignals to the source.

Application programs aredeveloped graphically sheetby sheet in the AdvaBuild forWindows, by laying out re-quired blocks and then con-necting them to other blocksand to process inputs andoutputs.

The ABB advantage: peace of mindBuying a production control system is astrategic decision that cannot be takenlightly. The system must be right not onlynow but for years to come. And the suppliermust be there to support it during that time.

By taking advantage of the latest technologi-cal advantages, yet safeguarding backwardcompatibility, and basing all designs on the

industry standards that count, ABB satisfiesthe technical requirements involved. AndABB's track record in, resources for, andlong-term commitment to production controlis probably the best guarantee of long-termsupport you can get.

That is why Advant OCS, above all, offerspeace of mind.
