The programmability of Advant Controller 450 covers a wide range of functions, such as logic
and sequence control, data and text handling, arithmetic, reporting, positioning and regulatory
control, including advanced PID and self-tuning adaptive control.
A function-block language with graphic representation, you can use AMPL (ABB Master
Programming Language), for configuration and application building. It is especially oriented
toward process control.
The smallest units in the language are standardized functions, represented by graphic symbols
(PC elements). Each PC element represents a complete function such as an AND-gate, a time
delay, a shift register, a PID controller, and so on. (See Figure 1-5). The language offers a simple
method to link PC elements and describe the data exchange between the functions selected to
control the process.
You can assemble a number of PC elements to form a PC module, which in turn can be
incorporated in further modules. Several modules form a PC program, which is the solution to
automate an addressed process control function.
Such a PC program executes the PC modules, element by element, with a periodicity which you
can normally select from 10 ms up to 2 s. You can document the complete program
automatically in graphic form on a printer.
As a complement to the function block language, programmable boards (programmed in C
language) are available for special applications.
A data base, which is a standardized storage place, is used for exchanging data with other parts
of the Master system.
High-performance tools such as the Advant Station 100 Series Engineering Stations are
available for configuration, application programming, documentation, testing and
commissioning.
