AADvance Industrial Control System
In redundant configurations Proces-
sor and I/O Modules can be re-
moved on-line without affecting the
system performance. When a proc-
essor module is removed it will only
affect the external communication
paths connected to that processor.
Termination Assemblies interface
the I/O modules with field connec-
tions; they provide simplex, dual,
and triple I/O configurations. This
offers you a wide choice of I/O con-
figurations and an extremely flexible
I/O system connectivity.
Software
Each processor has an embedded
IEC 61508 certified operating sys-
tem and the AADvance Safety Ker-
nel and Target software. The proc-
essor will handle the full range of
IEC 61131 application programming
languages
Software, supporting industry stan-
dard protocols is also available for
communication across a distributed
network, such as:
Modbus Slave
OPC can be supported using
an OPC portal.

Fault Tolerant Design www.icstriplex.com
Designed to the IEC 61508 Stan-
dard and certified by TUV, the
AADvance controller has a SIL3
fault tolerant performance rating.
To achieve this high fault tolerance
performance it supports:
Synchronised dual and triple
processing configurations
Fault tolerant data exchange
services
Secure black channel com-
munications
Dual and triple I/O module
configurations
