Description

HESG324013R100 216AB61: Product Overview
The referenced components are integral parts of ABB’s Advant Open Control System (OCS), a distributed control system (DCS) architecture. These modules serve a dual role: one acts as a communication interface, while the other functions as a processor or relay unit. Their specific position in an automation system is to bridge the gap between the central controller and field devices, particularly those using the PROFIBUS PA protocol. They are typically mounted in an Advant I/O station, which can be located remotely from the main control room, forming a node in a distributed network.
The core functionality involves the acquisition of process data from field instruments, such as pressure and temperature transmitters, and the execution of control logic. The communication unit handles the serialization and deserialization of data packets over the PROFIBUS PA network, while the processor unit interprets this data, executes the programmed logic (e.g., PID loops, interlocks), and generates output signals. This processing is done locally to reduce the load on the central controller and to provide faster response times for critical control loops.
These modules belong to the Advant OCS product family, a platform known for its modularity, scalability, and adherence to open standards. The benefits of this platform include a reduction in field wiring through distributed I/O, simplified system expansion via plug-and-play modules, and a consistent engineering environment that streamlines configuration and maintenance. This design philosophy aims to lower the total cost of ownership and increase system availability.

Core Features & Customer Value
The integration of communication and processing capabilities within the Advant system architecture provides a streamlined solution for distributed control. By co-locating the logic execution with the I/O, the system minimizes communication delays and reduces the processing burden on the central controller. For the engineer, this means designing more responsive control strategies and simplifying the overall system topology. For the plant operator, it translates to more stable and reliable process control.
The support for the PROFIBUS PA protocol is a key feature, enabling seamless integration with a wide range of intelligent field instruments. This protocol is designed for process automation, offering intrinsic safety options and advanced diagnostics. The benefit to the customer is the ability to use best-in-class field devices from various vendors, knowing they will communicate reliably with the DCS. This openness avoids vendor lock-in and provides flexibility during system upgrades or expansions.
The modular design inherent to the Advant OCS platform allows for easy replacement and expansion. If additional I/O or processing power is needed, new modules can be added to the existing rack without a complete system overhaul. For maintenance teams, this means reduced downtime and lower spares inventory costs, as modules are standardized and readily available. The robust construction ensures long-term reliability in the demanding electrical and thermal environments typical of industrial plants.

Typical Applications
In a power generation facility, these modules are used in the boiler feedwater control system. The communication unit interfaces with PROFIBUS PA pressure and level transmitters on the deaerator and feedwater pumps, while the processor unit executes the control logic to maintain optimal water levels, which is critical for safe and efficient boiler operation.
Within a petrochemical refinery, the module assembly can be part of a distributed I/O station in a distillation column control loop. It acquires temperature and flow data from field instruments, executes the PID control algorithm to adjust control valves, and ensures the separation process remains within its operational parameters.
In a water treatment plant, these components are applied in a remote pumping station. They communicate with chlorine analyzers and flow meters via PROFIBUS PA, processing the data to control disinfectant dosing and pump speeds, ensuring water quality meets regulatory standards while optimizing energy consumption.
