AADvance Features
The AADvance system controls complex and often critical processes in
real time — executing programs that accept external sensor signals,
solving logic equations, performing calculations for continuous process
control and generating external control signals. These user-defined
application programs monitor and control real-world processes in the oil
and gas, refining, rail transit, power generation and related industries
across a wide range of control and safety applications.
The main features of the AADvance system are as follows:
 Facilitates differing fault tolerant topologies — 1oo1, 1oo2D and
2oo3
 Flexible modular construction using individual modules to build a
system
 Operates as a stand alone system or part of a larger distributed
network
 Easily transformed from a simplex non-safety system to a fault tolerant
safety related system
 IEC 61508 certified, reviewed and approved by TÜV and UL
 Scalable I/O module expansion without system interruption
 Supports secure SIL 3 rated 'Black Channel' external communication
over Ethernet
 Supports industry standard protocols including Modbus and HART
 Supports OPC when using an OPC Portal
