7.1 Environmental Considerations
General
The Advant Controller 450 is designed for a demanding industrial environment. Alternative
cabinets is available for different degrees of protective rating (IP21, IP41, IP54). Interference
from electrical sources is suppressed by suitable solid design and particular installation rules.
The building where the system is to be stored or installed should provide an environment such
that established environmental conditions are not normally exceeded.
The environmental conditions which Advant Controller 450 are designed to withstand, during
storage, transport as well as during operation, are specified in a separate environmental data
sheet. Limit values are given to: Corrosive gases, Temperature, Vibration, Moisture,
ElectroMagnetic Compatibility, etc.
For further information about the environmental immunity, please refer to the Environmental
Immunities chapter in the Product Guide for Advant OCS with Master Software, Overview.
Temperature
It is important to note the temperature within cabinets and in the surrounding environment.
Lower temperatures mean increased system reliability and availability.
To avoid overheating, when ambient temperatures are high, take into consideration the heat
dissipated in the cabinet. This is particular important with sealed cabinets (IP54) with
considerable number of circuit boards and ambient temperature at levels approaching 40
o
C. It
might be necessary to mount heat exchangers on the cabinet to bring down the temperature to
levels below limits given in the environmental data sheet.
