Advant Controller 460 is the perfect choice when you want to expand your process while limiting engineering costs and ensuring high production efficiency. It is the obvious evolution path from SC controller, to extend your plants life cycle. Its high processing capacity and wide-ranging capabilities fits for demanding applications and can be fully integrated with System 800xA.
With AC 460 you will have a proven equipment with high functionality, interoperability and performance. It supports a wide range of communication protocols such as; MODBUS, Profibus, Advant Fieldbus 100 etc. making it easy to design an optimal control system architecture for every application.
To achieve the highest possible availability, AC 460 can be equipped with redundancy for communication, power supplies, CPUs and I/O boards. It supports the modular S800 I/O system, including field devices supporting HART data, and up to five S100 I/O racks. The S100 I/O racks can be distributed via redundant fiber networks. Support of TRIO I/O
Maximize your productivity and be prepared for easy integration of proven technology. AC 460 meets users‘ requirement of maximum plant availability.
The following benefits are derived from applying AC460 technology to your process plant:
- Faster Processor
- More Memory
- 1:1 Redundancy
- 3 sets of Redundant CPU´s
- Supports existing I/O and termination infrastructure.
- Supports existing applications written in CCF, TCL, and TLL software allowing for implementation of powerful control strategies.
- Wide selection of interface options to I/O and third party hardware (e.g. Profibus).
- Redundancy on all levels of communications, processing, and I/O. Reliable with simple fault diagnosis procedures
Advant Controller 460 life cycle status
The Advant Controller 460 hardware is in the Active life cycle and is planned to stay as such until minimum 2017, with guaranteed parts support until minimum 2030.
Migration from Advant Controller 460 to AC 800M is supported by communication modules for S100 I/O, Modbus and OPC server.
