Advant Master Distributed Control System (DCS)

Support and Evolution for widely installed ABB Advant Master control system.

Advant Master is widely installed and supported ABB DCS. A majority of customers have already enhanced their Advant system by adding the System 800xA HMI, AC 800M controller and S800 I/O in order to extend the lifetime of the system and benefit from the latest technologies.

Released in 1992, Advant Master DCS was the result of the development of a common hardware and software platform for evolving the ABB Master.

Advant Master DCS introduced two high-capacity controllers, AC 450 and AC 410, and the S100 rack mounted I/O featuring an improved redundancy scheme, along with a state-of-the-art operator interface, based on UNIX workstations. In 1996 the S800 remote I/O was launched, providing modular flexibility with redundant communication and a 1ms time stamp.

The predecessor to Advant Master DCS, ABB Master, was introduced in 1984 based on MasterPiece 200 controllers with the rack mounted S100 I/O along with the MasterView 800 operator interface with high end Tesselator Display system, further adding remote S400 I/O in 1988.

In 2004, the Advant Master DCS began its next step in the evolution process with the introduction of 800xA enabled products by introducing System 800xA HMI for Advant Master.

Furthermore, the proven AC 800M controller provides an evolution path for AC 450/AC 410 based systems. These controllers have been successfully implemented in multiple evolution projects worldwide.

ABB maximizes your system investment and provides an evolution path forward for your ABB DCS. This is achieved by designing control systems for continuous evolution and by providing service offerings that extend the life cycle and improve the availability and performance of systems in the ABB portfolio and beyond.
