modules. An AADvance system is formed by one or more controllers, their
power sources, communications networks and workstations.
This technical manual describes the features, performance and functionality of
the AADvance controller and systems. It sets out some guidelines on how to
make a system that fits your application requirements.
WHO SHOULD USE MANUAL
This manual is intended primarily for system designers and technical sales
people who need to understand the capabilities of an AADvance controller.
This manual will help you to design a satisfactory system.
The information contained in this manual is intended to be used in
conjunction with (and not as an alternative for) expertise and knowledge about
safety-related systems. It is expected that the reader has an in depth
understanding of the intended application and can understand the generic
terms used inside this manual and the terminology used in the integrator's or
project's application area.

The AADvance System
Introduction An AADvance system consists of an AADvance controller, an external
operator's workstation, field connections, power sources and external network
connections. The flexibility of the design means that a system can meet a wide
variety of business needs. An AADvance system is assembled to a scale and
configuration that is applicable to your initial requirements and can be easily
changed to meet your changing business requirements in the future. A system is
built from an approved range of modules and assemblies.
This chapter introduces the primary components that can be used to assemble
an AADvance controller.

The AADvance Safety Controller
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
• Turbo-machinery governor control and over-speed protection (not yet
released)
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.

Chapter 2 The AADvance Safety 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 user workstations. It can operate as a stand-
alone system or as a distributed node of a larger control system.
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 or interface units. System architectures are user
configurable and can be changed without major system modifications.
I/O redundancy is configurable so you can make a decision between fail safe
NOTEThe printed circuit boards of all AADvance modules, termina-
tion assemblies and backplanes are coated during manufacture.
The coating meets defense and aerospace requirements, is ap-
proved to US MIL-1-46058C standard and meets IPC-CC-830.
The coating is also UL approved.
