Notes and Symbols used in this manual
This symbol calls attention to items which "must" be considered and implemented
when designing and building an AADvance controller for use in a Safety
Instrumented Function (SIF). It appears extensively in the AADvance Safety Manual.
Note: Notes are used extensively to provide important information about the
product.
Standard Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
ELECTRICAL ARCS AND EXPLOSION RISK IN HAZARDOUS
AREAS
If you connect or disconnect wiring, modules or communications cabling while
power is applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in
hazardous location installations. Do not remove wiring, fuses, modules or
communications cabling while circuit is energized unless area is known to be
non hazardous.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance must be carried out by people who are experienced in working on
electronic equipment and in particular safety related systems.They should have
knowledge and experience of local operating and safety standards. Failure to
follow these recommendations may result in situations that can lead system
damage and even personal injury.
CAUTION
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency Interference.
Caution should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communications
equipment around such equipment. Signs should be posted in the vicinity of the
equipment cautioning against the use of portable communications equipment.
CAUTION
HEAT DISSIPATION AND ENCLOSURE POSITION
System and field power consumption by modules and termination assemblies is
dissipated as heat. You should consider this heat dissipation on the design and
positioning of your enclosure; e.g. enclosures exposed to continuous sunlight
will have a higher internal temperature that could affect the operating
temperature of the modules. Modules operating at the extremes of the
temperature band for a continuous period can have a reduced reliability.

AADvance Workbench and Software Development Environment
The 9110 Processor Module runs the Workbench, it must have the following
specification:
Operating Systems:
Windows XP with Service Pack 3
Windows Vista, Windows 7 & Server 2003 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
Note: Network Licensing - Windows 64-bit version will only work with the USB
licsensing method.

Configuration Guide (AADvance Controller)
CAUTION: Do not use XP Professional x64 edition
Network port (10/100 Base T Ethernet)
Access to a CD-ROM drive, for software installation
If the application adopts the dongle licensing option for the software, the processor
module will also require one free USB port.
The AADvance workstation uses software that enables you to design the complete
control strategy as one, then to target parts of the strategy at each controller.
Interaction between the resources is automatic, significantly reducing the complexity of
configuration in a multi-resource solution.
The workstation software, known as the Workbench is compliant with IEC61131
industrial standard and has the following powerful features:
the regulation of the flow of control decisions for an interacting distributed control
system
providing for the consistency of data
providing a means for synchronous operation between devices
eliminating the need to have separate synchronous schemes
easing the development and maintenance of robust systems
The Workbench is a complete software development environment for a controller.
It lets you create local and distributed control applications using the five languages of
IEC 61131-3. Engineers can choose one language or a combination of languages that
best suits their knowledge and programming style and the nature of the application.
It is a secure development environment that requires a hardware or software license
to run on a PC. There is also a Program Enable key (not applicable to a Euro
Controller) that must be plugged into the processor base unit to allow the user to
modify and download the application resource or access the AADvance Discovery tool
to set or change the controller IP address. The Program Enable key when it is
removed protects the application from unauthorized access.
The development environment includes:
tools for program development
program documentation
function block library management
application archiving
database configuration
import/export utilities
on-line monitoring
off-line simulation and controlled on-line changes.

Programs can be simulated and tested and tested on the computer before downloading
to the controller hardware. Also provided is a set of configuration tools that enables
you to define the hardware architecture in the software; set up the processor
functionality; and connect application variables to the Workbench application
resource program that will monitor processor and I/O module status information and
report I/O channel data values to the Workbench. Resource Control applications can
be distributed across several hardware platforms, communicating with each other
through secure networks.
CAUTION
WORKBENCH FOR USE IN SAFETY APPLICATIONS
If the Workbench is used for safety related applications then you must follow
the safety application guidelines contained in the AADvance Safety Manual (Doc
No: 553630).
About The Configuration Process
The process begins by creating a project and allocating the IP addresses for its
communications to the AADvance controllers. You can then configure the network
communications parameters for the project.
You then define the hardware architecture. This assigns the I/O modules to empty slot
numbers on the processor buses. There are two IO Busses each can be assigned up to
24 I/O modules.
Note: If you change the physical arrangement of the hardware after you have
configured a controller using the AADvance Workbench, you must change the
AADvance Workbench configuration to match the changed hardware arrangement.
Important Note: For Release 1.3 you can change the I/O module configuration with
an on-line update without having to stop the running application. However, if you are
still using an earlier product release the I/O module configuration cannot be changed
with an on-line update.
You should now define your module status and the I/O channel variables and their
properties inthe Dictionary. The AADvance Workbench provides you with a wide
range of variables types to choose from including a set of structured variables. Set up
enough variables to cover all the I/O points and module status variables for your
controller architecture. If necessary, you can add new variables at any time during
configuration of a system and the AADvance Workbench or after reconfiguration.
You should now allocate tag names to the variables you want to use. If you chose
structured variables for I/O channels, the AADvance Workbench automatically
generates a set of additional variable elements with the same tag name for each
element type.
In the next stage of the process you define the T9110 processor module functionality
and set up connections to a group of processor module status parameters. Here you
will enter values for functions such as the serial port settings, process safety time, and
SNTP and Modbus services.

Configuration Guide (AADvance Controller)
The AADvance Workbench provides pre-defined I/O module status parameters for
each module to which you assign application variables.
Finally you connect (wire) each I/O channel to structured variables. These structured
variables report input the channel status and define output data values.
You define hardware redundancy in the AADvance Workbench when you define the
hardware configuration. During the allocation of I/O modules to empty slots, you are
presented with the option to add two or three modules. When you choose the two or
three option the AADvance Workbench automatically allocates the modules to a
group of adjacent slots. The AADvance Workbench then only allows you to configure
one set of I/O channels to the group.
Note: You do not need to define redundancy for the processors. The AADvance
Workbench automatically connects to all three processors after their IP addresses
have been set up in the AADvance Workbench.
Integrating the AADvance Controller with Other Systems
The AADvance controller interfaces to existing control systems and plant monitoring
equipment. This enables, for example, a control system to read the state of sensors
connected to the controller.
The interfaces are through the controller network (Ethernet) ports and serial ports,
and support the following protocols:
CIP over Ethernet/IP
Modbus RTU
Open Modbus/TCP
OPC

Scan Times
The following scan times were taken from a test system consisting of production
modules.
Module
Scan Time
T9401 Digital input module, 24V dc, 8 channel
Single
Dual
Triple
1.23ms
1.73ms
2.08ms
T9431 Analogue input module 24V dc, 8 channel

1.91ms
2.33ms
T9451 Digital output module, 24V dc, 8 channel
Single
Dual
1.43ms
2.44ms
AADvance Workbench Sleep Period
57.2ms
Scan overhead per module
0.09ms
The tests did not measure the effect of logic complexity and communications loading.
The scan time is:
(Number of module groups x scan time shown above) + Sleep Period + (Total
modules x scan overhead)
The scan time will vary by up to +/- 5ms (not including the effect of logic and
communications).
Throughput time is the time from input change to output action. Due to the discrete
nature of the scan, the throughput time will vary between one and two scans.
Note: The AADvance application scan time is limited to a minimum of 64ms to allow
all processes to run. Small applications will report a scan time of approximately 57 -
61ms. Large applications may have longer scan times but each scan time will be
consistent to within approximately 5ms.
An example configuration scan time:
T9431 Analogue input simplex modules x 30
T9451 Digital output simplex modules x 18
Total I/O modules = 48
Estimated scan time = (30 x 1.23ms) + (18 x 1.43ms) + 57.2ms + (48 x 0.09ms)
= 125.1ms

AADvance WorkbenchLicensing Options
You can use the AADvance Workbench for a trial period of 30 days with a
promotional license. To use a fully operational version you must purchase a license key
from Rockwell Automation. License keys come in two forms:
T9082/3U Single User Hardware License: a hardware license key is a dongle
that is delivered with the software. To activate the license you insert the dongle
into the USB port of your computer. This type of license allows the license to be
moved to other PC's, but only the PC with the USB Dongle installed will allow the
Workbench to be started.
T9082/3D Single User Software License: a software license key (hard disk
key) is obtained and activated through the AADvance License Manager. This
type of license establishes the license on a specific PC or another PC, but only the
PC with the software key activated will allow the Workbench to be started.
When you purchase a single user license you can choose from the following feature
sets:
T9082 Multiscan (PRS): Single user, single controller license.
T9083 Distributed (PRD): Single user, multiple controllers license.
Network licenses are also available:
T9084U Network User License: A network license (USB dongle) allows the
users to license copies of the AADvance Workbench on PC's so long as they have
a continuous network connection to a central license server.
Install the AADvance Workbench and Utilities
When Installing a single user license you do not need to install the License Manager
separately unless you are running a network installation; You just need to run the
License Manager to activate or enable a license.
