　　The AADvance® controller is specifically designed for functional safety and critical control applications; it gives a flexible solution for smaller scale requirements. The system can also be used for safety implemented functions as well as applications that are not related to safety but are nevertheless critical to a business process. This AADvance controller offers the ability to make a cost-effective system to a customer's specification for any of the following applications:

　　• Emergency shutdown system

　　• Fire and gas installation protection system

　　• Critical process control

　　• Burner management

　　• Boiler and furnace control

　　• Distributed process monitoring and control

　　An AADvance controller is particularly useful for emergency shut down and fire and gas detection protection applications as it offers a system solution with integrated and distributed fault tolerance. It is designed and validated to international standards and is certified by independent certifying bodies for functional safety control installations and UL for use in hazardous environments.

　　This chapter introduces the primary components that can be used to assemble an AADvance controller.

　　A controller is built from a range of compact plug-in modules (see illustration) that are straightforward to assemble into a system. A system can have just one or more controllers, a combination of I/O modules, power sources, communications networks and computers. It can operate as a stand-alone system or as a distributed node of a larger control system.

　　NOTE The printed circuit boards of all AADvance modules, termination assemblies and backplanes are coated during manufacture. The coating meets defense and aerospace requirements, is approved to US MIL-1-46058C standard and meets IPC-CC-830. The coating is also UL approved.

　　A Key benefit of the AADvance system is its flexibility. All of the configurations are readily achieved by combining modules and assemblies without using special cables orinterface units. System architectures are user configurable and can be changed without major system modifications. Processor and I/O redundancy is configurable so you can make a decision between fail safe and fault tolerant solutions. There is no change to the complexity of operations or programming that the controller can handle if you add redundant capacity to create a fault tolerant solution.

　　They can be mounted onto DIN rails in a cabinet or directly mounted onto a wall in a controlroom. Forced air cooling or special environmental control equipment is not necessary. However, important consideration must be given to the choice of cabinet or when the controller is installed in a hazardous environment.

　　Specific guidelines are given in this user documentation to help you choose an enclosure that will make sure that the system operates to its full capability and reliability and that it also complies with the ATEX and UL certification requirements for use in hazardous environments.

　　The Ethernet and serial ports are configurable for a number of protocols in both simplex and redundant configurations for connection to other AADvance controllers or external third party equipment. Communications internally between the processors and I/O modules uses a proprietary communications protocol over a custom wired harness. The AADvance system supports transport layer communication protocols such as TCP and UDP for MODBUS, CIP, SNCP, SSH and SNTP services.

　　A secure network communications protocol (SNCP), developed by Rockwell Automation for the AADvance system, permits distributed control and safety using new or existing network infrastructure while ensuring the security and integrity of the data. Individual sensors and actuators can connect to a local controller, minimizing the lengths of dedicated field cabling. There is no need for a large central equipment room; rather, the complete distributed system can be administered from one or more computers placed at convenient locations.

　　The AADvance controller is developed and built for IEC 61131 compliance and includes support for all five programming languages.

　　Safety Features

　　The AADvance controller meets non-safety business requirements and SIL 2 and SIL 3 safety related system requirements. The system has comprehensive built-in redundant capabilities that improve system availability.

　　The AADvance safety system features are:

　　• Easily transformed from a simplex non-safety system to a fault tolerant safety related system.

　　• An AADvance system provides a set of components that can be configured to meet a range of safety and fault tolerance user requirements within a single system such as - fault tolerant topologies 1oo1, 1oo2D and 2oo3.

　　• IEC 61508 certified, reviewed and approved for safety systems up to SIL 3 by independent certifying bodies.

　　• The scalable characteristics of the system enables independent safety functions within the same system to be configured with different architectures to meet a user specific safety and availability requirements.

　　• The main components that provide the safety architecture are the processor and I/O modules; the remaining components provide secure external interfaces and connectivity between the field elements and the main components and add to the safety functionality.

　　• AADvance processor modules are designed to meet the requirements for SIL 3 in a dual ortriplicated configuration.

　　• Individual input modules are designed to meet the requirements for SIL 3 in simplex, dual or triple configurations.

　　• Individual output modules have been designed to meet the requirements for SIL 3 in a simplex or dual configurations.

　　• Safe SIL 3 rated 'Black Channel' external communication over Ethernet

　　Safety Configurations

　　An AADvance system supports the following safety configurations:

　　Fail-safe

　　I/O modules fail-safe in the most basic simplex system.

　　SIL 2

　　SIL 2 architectures for fail-safe low demand applications. All SIL 2 architectures can be used for energize or de-energize to trip applications.

　　• SIL 2 low demand architectures

　　• SIL 2 fail safe architectures

　　• SIL 2 fault tolerant input architectures

　　• SIL 2 triplicated input architectures

　　• SIL 2 fault tolerant output architectures

　　• SIL 2 fault tolerant input/output architectures

　　SIL 3

　　SIL 3 architectures:

　　• SIL 3 de-energize to trip applications.

　　• SIL 3 energize to action applications when fitted with dual digital output modules.

　　• SIL 3 simplex or dual output module architectures • SIL 3 fail safe I/O fault tolerant processor architecture

　　• SIL 3 fault tolerant architecture

　　• SIL 3 fault tolerant simplex, dual and triple input architectures

　　• SIL 3 dual or triple processor architectures

　　• SIL 3 high demand applications where the required safe state is greater than 4 mA, when fitted with dual analogue output modules (A ‘safe state’ is an output configured to go to a specific value, or configured to hold last state).

　　Safety System Certification

　　The AADvance Controller is certified by independent certifying bodies. Refer to the certificate for details of the standards included in the certification
