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 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

AdvaSoft for Windows is a software package for the Microsoft Windows operating environment, providing industrial process operators and managers with a platform for all kinds of interaction with the production processes via standard PCs. AdvaCommand for Windows, the add-on operator interface to AdvaSoft for Windows gives operators full control of the process in real time with the following functionality:

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

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

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.

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.
