Chapter 1
Quick Start Guide
The AADvance® Workbench is the software development environment for the AADvance controller. It lets you make one comprehensive control solution and then target parts of the solution to individual controllers. Interaction between resources is automatic, eliminating the need to have different synchronous schemes.
The AADvance Workbench supports the Function Block (FB), Structured Text (ST) and Ladder Diagrams (LD) languages of IEC 61131-3. The Instruction List (IL) language is not supported by Workbench 2.1 and the Sequential Function Chart (SFC) language is not supported by Workbench 2.1 in a safety related application. You can use one language or a combination of languages depending on what is applicable to the application and your programming style.
The AADvance Workbench runs on a Windows computer. You simulate and test programs on the computer before downloading them to the controller. The AADvance Workbench then works online to give you real-time monitoring, online updates and other features. Connectivity between the AADvance Workbench, the controller and between individual controllers, is through a standard Ethernet network.
It only takes minutes to create the first application. If you have not already installed and licensed the AADvance Workbench, do this now. Installation instructions are provided in Chapter 2 Software Installation and Licensing.
Begin by creating a project and defining the type of hardware for the controller:
1.Launch the software by clicking Start All Programs Rockwell Automation AADvance 2.1 AADvance 2.1.
The application will open and display the following screen.

Chapter 1 Quick Start Guide
For subsequent use of the Workbench application, the layout for the screen presented on start-up is the same as the view displayed on the previous closure of the application. For further detail refer to Reset Window Layout on page 45.
2.Create a new project (File New Project) and move to the Application View, Communication View or Equipment View.
•the AADvance Workbench places a controller into the project
•the controller is named Controller1.
3.Select Equipment View Controller1 identify the system type of the controller. The three options for system type are:
•Standard
•Eurocard
•Mixed.
4.If the project needs more controllers, use the contextual menu on the project node (the first node in the tree) to add the controllers to the project. Then identify the class of each new controller.
After having identified the controller class you can configure the controller and place I/O modules with slots on the processor bus. Place input modules in simplex, duplex and triplex arrangements, output modules in simplex and duplex arrangements. The duplex and triplex arrangements use adjacent slots in groups of two or three.
Proceed to the Application View, Communication View or Equipment View.

Chapter 1 Quick Start Guide
IMPORTANT The controller configuration must be exactly the same as the hardware arrangement. If you change the physical arrangement of the hardware, remember to change the Workbench configuration to match the new arrangement.
1.Use a spreadsheet or equivalent tool to assign tag names to the variables you want to use. If you chose structured variables for I/O channels, the AADvance Workbench generates a set of other variable elements with the same tag name for each element type.
2.Declare variables for I/O channels and module status parameters. An extensive range of variable types is available including a set of structured variables. You can subsequently add new variables if applicable.
3.Connect (wire) each I/O channel to variables to get input channel states and set output data values.
4.Set up the serial ports, process safety time, and SNTP and MODBUS services.
5.Allocate the IP addresses for communication with the AADvance controllers and configure the network communications parameters.
The standard AADvance controller has a program enable key which plugs into the KEY connector on the 9100 processor base unit. When the key is removed, the controller application is protected from unwanted changes. You must fit the program enable key before performing a download to the application, adjusting the application and setting or changing the controller IP address.
If the program enable key is not installed before performing a download to the application, adjusting the application and setting or changing the controller IP address will produce an error message. The error message will vary depending on the application status, running or stopped.

Chapter 1 Quick Start Guide
Figure 1 - With the application running the following error message occurs.
Figure 2 - With the application stopped the following error message occurs.
You create hardware redundancy in the AADvance Workbench when you identify the hardware configuration from the Equipment View. During the allocation of I/O modules to empty slots, you have the option of adding two or three modules. When you use 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.
You do not need to define redundancy for AADvance processors. The AADvance Workbench automatically connects to each processor when the network connection is set up.
The AADvance controller connects to existing control systems and plant monitoring equipment. This connection enables a third-party control system to read the state of sensors connected to the controller.
The connection interfaces are through the controller network ports and serial ports, and use the following protocols:
•CIP™ over Ethernet/IP™
•Modbus RTU
•Open Modbus/TCP

Workbench Software
Installation
Chapter 2
Software Installation and Licensing
The AADvance® Workbench software is a 32-bit application based on the Microsoft Visual Studio Shell that runs on all common Windows platforms.
This chapter provides the instructions to install and license the AADvance Workbench software.
IMPORTANT If you have not installed the AADvance Workbench software before, read all of this section before starting the installation.
The AADvance Workbench software uses the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 with Service Pack 1. The installer automatically installs Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell (isolated mode) and Microsoft .NET 4.0, but only if these are not already installed on the computer. This reduces the time necessary for updates of the AADvance Workbench, where the Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET are already on the computer.
The specification of the computer where you install the software must have the following specification, or better:
Operating system (32bit or 64-bit):
•Microsoft Windows XP
•Windows Vista
•Windows 7
•Microsoft Windows Server 2003
•Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
Hardware:
•1.6 GHz CPU
•1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) (add 512 MB if running in a virtual machine)
•DirectX 9 capable video card running at 1024 x 768 resolution display
•5,400 RPM hard disk
•3 GB available hard disk space
•DVD drive or network connection, to read software distribution files
•Network port (10/100 Base T Ethernet), for communications with the controller.
It is recommended that the computer has a 2.2 GHz or higher CPU; 1,024 MB or more RAM, a 1,280 x 1,024 display and a 7,200 RPM or higher hard disk.
Rockwell Automation Publication ICSTT-RM458D-EN-P - February 2021 |

Chapter 2 Software Installation and Licensing
It is also recommended that the hard disk has at least 10 GB free space. This provides sufficient space to hold the distribution zip file, the unzipped source files and the installed program files, and also sufficient space for Windows to operate reasonably quickly. You can retrieve a lot of this space by deleting the source files after finishing the installation.
IMPORTANT You must do these steps before installing AADvance 2.x.
1.Make sure that the repository for the AADvance 1.x AADvance Workbench is on a local disk drive. The AADvance 2.x Workbench does not permit opening AADvance 1.x projects from a repository when no local copy exists.
2.If the project is stored as only an AADvance 1.x archive, put back the archive as a project in the AADvance 1.x Workbench.
3.Make sure that the AADvance 1.x project compiles fully.
4.Make sure that all users record all on-going modifications.
•When you open a project from an AADvance 1.x repository in AADvance 2.x, the repository is upgraded to the current version and is no longer available in the previous version.
•If you do not record all on-going modifications, the modifications become local and cannot be integrated into the repository.
5.Write down the ID of each MODBUS Slave set up for Ethernet communications. AADvance 2.x automatically assigns a value of 255 to a MODBUS Slave ID for which Ethernet was specified.
6.Write down which Ethernet ports are assigned to CIP binding groups. AADvance 2.x does not assign Ethernet ports to CIP binding groups, and you have to specify Ethernet ports for individual groups after the upgrade.
IMPORTANT The Instruction List (IL) language is not supported by Workbench 2.0 and the Sequential Function Chart (SFC) is not supported by Workbench 2.0 in a safety related application.
Install the AADvance
Workbench Software - Web
Distribution
If you need to update an existing installation, use the web distribution version of the AADvance Workbench software. The installation is smaller and quicker than the full product because the Microsoft .NET Framework and Visual Studio products which the software needs are already installed on the computer.
IMPORTANT If the AADvance Workbench has not been installed on the computer, you must install the full product first. Following the initial installation you can use the web distribution version to update the installation.
The installation of the web distribution version takes about 10 minutes on a computer with the recommended specification and will take longer if the machine has less than 1,024 MB RAM.
To install the AADvance Workbench software (web distribution) do the following:

The AADvance Workbench is licensed software. There are three types of license: full, single controller and demo.
•The single controller license is applicable for applications which use only one controller. The software features which add a second or subsequent controller to the project are disabled, and you cannot open an existing project which uses more than one controller.
•The full license supplies all of the features of the AADvance Workbench. It is applicable for applications with one or more controllers.
•The demo license is a like a full license, but with a time limit. You can use all of the features of the AADvance Workbench for up to 30 days after first running the AADvance Workbench is first run.
A demo license is supplied free of charge for a first installation on a computer. You change the demo license to a single controller license or a full license by purchasing an unlock code from Rockwell Automation, and entering the code into the software. When you use the demo license, the AADvance Workbench displays a Demo License window each time you try to open a project. The window includes the contact details at Rockwell Automation required for purchasing a license.
If you try to use the demo license for more than 30 days, the license expires. You cannot open a project or create a new one until you purchase a license.

Chapter 3
Connecting the AADvance Workbench to the Controller
The AADvance® system uses Internet Protocol (IP) for communication/data transfer between the controller and the AADvance Workbench. This chapter describes how to connect the AADvance Workbench to the controller.
AADvance Processor Modules are mounted on a Processor Base Unit. Up to three Processor Modules can be mounted on the Processor Base Unit as shown below:
The Processor Base Unit connects to Input/Output (I/O) Base Units to form an interlocking backplane. The combined Processor and I/O Module assemblies comprise the Controller. The interlocked backplane is latched securely against a metal DIN rail. See also, Configuring the Controller I/O on page 109 .
Processor Modules can be mounted in any order onto any of the slots on the Processor Base Unit. However, for the controller to communicate with Workbench, the correct Internet Protocol (IP) address of the occupied position on the Processor Base Unit must be selected. For explanation, see below.
The AADvance controller stores its IP address data in non-volatile memory in the 9100 processor base unit. The data is independent of the 9110 processor modules in the controller, and so the controller keeps the address information when you remove a processor module.
Rockwell Automation Publication ICSTT-RM458D-EN-P - February 2021 |
25 |
Chapter 3 Connecting the AADvance Workbench to the Controller
You must set up the IP address data when you create a new system, or if you fit a new processor base unit.
After having set up the IP address data in the controller, you can configure the AADvance Workbench to find the controller on the network.
For some systems, the administrator of the local area network will allocate the IP address for the controller. If this has not occurred, use an address from the ranges allocated to private networks:
•10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
•172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
•192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix).
Each controller on a local area network must have a unique IP address.
IMPORTANT Make sure that the two Ethernet ports on each 9110 processor module are on different subnets.
The AADvance Discover utility is part of the AADvance Workbench installation. It appears on the drop-down list in the View menu, which is a tab on the main menu bar.
There is also a feature on the Windows Start menu:
Click “Windows Start” “All Programs”. “Rockwell Automation” “AADvance 2.1” “AADvDiscover” to start the utility.
The utility displays a list of the AADvance controllers on the broadcast network, and reports a status for each one.

Chapter 3 Connecting the AADvance Workbench to the Controller
If the The AADvance discover utility is selected and the [F1] key is pressed on the keyboard a .pdf help-file is opened.
Double-clicking on an entry in the list enables examining the resource and IP address settings for a controller. A Refresh button enables a scan of the network and creates a new list.
If a controller known to be on the network does not show in the list, look for communication blocking or miss-routing by Windows or by other network devices. DCP communications will not go through network bridges and routers.
The DCP is proprietary to Rockwell Automation. It uses the first MAC address of the 9100 processor base unit to identify each individual controller - the MAC address is the 'Controller ID' in the list.
The controller status will be 'No Response', 'Locked' or 'Configurable':
•'No response' means that the controller is turned off, or the communications between the computer running the utility and the controller have failed.
•'Locked' means that the utility has established communications with the controller, but one or more of the criteria for 'Configurable' status is not present.
•'Configurable' means that the controller can be configured with its IP address. The utility has established communications with the controller, the program enable key is present (this plugs into the KEY connector on the 9100 processor base unit) and either no application is loaded or an application is loaded but not running.
The status must be shown as 'Configurable' before you can set the controller configuration. If you change the configuration of a controller, click the Refresh button to make a new list.
A status bar is displayed at the bottom of the window, below the list. This will show the message 'Initializing' as the tool starts followed by 'Searching', locating all the controllers connected to the network, then 'Querying' and finally 'Ready':
•'Querying' scans the network for controllers and creates a list
•'Ready' means the controller status and IP addresses are displayed ready for new settings.

A Refresh button allows you to repeat the Querying process.
Configure the IP Address in
the Controller
When you assemble a new AADvance controller, or install a new 9100 processor base unit, you have to configure the IP Address stored in the controller.
The procedure to configure the IP Address uses the AADvance Discover utility. Changes occur immediately and you do not have to start the controller again. To set the IP Address do the following:
1.Write down the controller's first MAC address (the Controller ID) displayed on a label on the processor base unit. Install at least one 9110 processor module into the processor base unit.
2.Make sure the program enable key is inserted in the KEY connector on the processor base unit.
3.The AADvance Discover utility may be opened, either from the view tab on the menu bar, or through the Windows Start menu.
•To start the AADvance Discover tool from the view tab on the menu bar
