ABB Advant Controllers 400 Series with MOD 300 Software

ABB Advant Controllers 400 Series with MOD 300 Software

System Architecture and Functionality Overview: 

Advant OCS and MOD 300 software form the framework of an open system that connects functions and people within an organisation to improve productivity and profitability.

Advant controllers are part of this system, combining high processing power and flexible software to form a powerful control system environment.

Controller Types

Advant Controller 410: Suitable for small to medium sized applications, it runs the full MOD 300 control software library, with the first few slots on the backplane for the CPU and the remaining slots supporting up to fifteen Series 100 I/O cards, making it ideal for small to medium sized, non-redundant applications.

Advant Controller 460: Optional 1:1 redundancy configuration with high-speed processor and backplane that performs multiple functions in a single controller module, accommodates up to three CPUs, and provides full 1:1 redundancy from power supply to processor and I/O modules.

Control Languages: Three powerful control language packages are available - Configurable Control Functions (CCF), Taylor Ladder Logic (TLL), and Taylor Control Language (TCL) - that provide optimal implementations of continuous control, discrete device control, supervisory control, sequential and batch control, and high-speed interlocking logic control - and the ability to mix, match, and simultaneously execute these control strategies in the same hardware. I/O Systems

I/O Systems

Series 100 I/O (S100 I/O): Consists of a card file containing I/O cards that can be configured as redundant or non-redundant, with a variety of I/O cards of varying functionality and complexity, and supporting redundant communications.

Series 800 Remote I/O (S800 I/O): is a distributed, modular I/O system that communicates with the Advant Controller 400 series via the Advant Fieldbus 100, is easy to install, highly modular and flexible, supports all standard I/O types, and the communication can be configured for full redundancy.

Individual sub-modules: Contain specific communication protocols to facilitate the integration of emerging technologies, simplify communication with other systems, and protect investments.

Investment protection: the Advant Controller 400 series is scalable and can implement all existing MOD 300 software. The individual module concept ensures cost-effective integration of evolving communication protocols in the future, and the Advant OCS and MOD 300 software are backward compatible with existing control software applications, protecting investment.

Data availability: ABB provides data sheets for the Advant Controller 460, Advant Controller 410, S100 I/O system and S800 I/O system, which can be accessed on the website for more information.

System Architecture and Overall Functionality:

Advant OCS with MOD 300 software builds an open system framework to break down the barriers between different parts of the organisation,

 realise the efficient synergy of functions and personnel, and ultimately achieve the goals of productivity improvement and profitability growth.

Advant controller, as the key component of the system, combines powerful processing capability and flexible software to create a fully functional control 

system environment, which provides powerful support for the automation control of industrial production. automation control.

Controller Types

Advant Controller 410: 

tailored for small and medium-sized application scenarios, with the ability to run the complete MOD 300 control software library. 

Its unique backplane design, with the first few slots dedicated to the CPU and the remaining slots supporting up to fifteen Series 100 I/O cards, 

makes it ideal for small to medium-sized non-redundant applications. On the production line of a small factory, the Advant Controller 410 can efficiently manage the operation of the equipment with its precise control capability, 

ensuring the stability and smoothness of the production process.

Advant Controller 460: 

With an optional 1:1 redundancy configuration, the Advant Controller 460 is equipped with a high-speed processor and a high-performance backplane. 

This design allows for the execution of many complex functions within a single controller module, 

with up to three CPUs and full 1:1 redundancy coverage from the power supply module, to the processor, to the I/O modules. 

In large chemical companies, where production processes leave no room for error, the Advant Controller 460's redundant design ensures that if one module 

fails, the backup module takes over quickly and seamlessly, maintaining production continuity and avoiding production interruptions 

and financial losses due to equipment failure.

Control Languages:

The system is equipped with three powerful control language packages, each of which offers unique advantages in different control areas.

1. Configurable Control Functions (CCF): Adopting an easy-to-configure function block structure, it excels in continuous process control,

 discrete equipment handling and alarm detection.
