The AADvance SystemChapter 2.An AADvance system consists of a controller, an external operator’s station andexternal connections; a system can be built to suit your specific requirements. Thischapter describes the main components that can be used to build an AADvancesystem.In This ChapterThe AADvance Controller............................................................................... 2-4Main Components .............................................................................................. 2-4Software Development Environment............................................................. 2-4The AADvance ControllerThe AADvance system is a new 9000 series controller specifically designed forfunctional safety and critical control applications, it provides a flexible and smaller scalesolution to the proven Trusted 8000 and 6200 products. The system can be used alsofor applications that are non-safety but still critical to a business process. This systemoffers you the ability to create a cost-effective controller to suit any one of a widevariety of applications: Critical process control Fire and gas protection systems Rotating machinery control systems Burner management Boiler and furnace control Distributed monitoring and controlThe AADvance controller is a logic solver, using processor modules, I/O modules andtermination assemblies that can easily be assembled and configured. A system is formedby one or more controllers, I/O modules, their power sources, communicationsnetworks and workstations.An AADvance controller is particularly well suited to emergency shut down and fireand gas protection applications by providing a system solution with integrated anddistributed fault tolerance. It is designed and validated to international standards andwill be certified by TÜV for functional safety control installations.The significant benefits of the AADvance controller are its performance and flexibility.Being designed to IEC 61508 it meets both SIL2 and SIL3 application requirementsfrom the basic range of modules and mixed SIL rated applications can be covered bythis range of modules.Document number 553630 Issue 7: February 2010 2-1
