Upgrading: as easy as ABC

Advant Controller 400 series machines are     

StepUp, the easy way to get ahead

Exploring the StepUp offer in greater detail

is easy; simply call your nearest ABB

representative and let him/her know what

your existing system looks like. Then allow

a few days for a detailed offer. If you

accept (which we are all but certain you

will), then new control equipment will be

ordered for you. When it arrives you have

they run AMPL programs just like their

forerunners do, only better.

Consequently, the stage is set for the

smoothest possible change-over. Simply,

disconnect your existing controller from

the surrounding world, remove the controller

rack from the cabinet it is installed

in, install the new controller, put all cables

back on, upload your existing application

software and switch on. From then on you

are ready to start taking advantage of the

additional functionality and processing

power that Advant Controller 400 series

offers.

So far, hundreds of step-ups to the AC 400

series have already been made, confirming

this simplicity. Says Hans Nilsson, instru-
