The AADvance Safety Controller
A controller is built from a range of compact plug-in modules (see illustration)
that are straightforward to assemble into a system. A system can have just one
or more controllers, a combination of I/O modules, power sources,
communications networks and user workstations. It can operate as a stand-
alone system or as a distributed node of a larger control system.
A Key benefit of the AADvance system is its flexibility. All of the
configurations are readily achieved by combining modules and assemblies
without using special cables or interface units. System architectures are user
NOTE
The printed circuit boards of all AADvance modules, termina-
tion assemblies and backplanes are coated during manufacture.
The coating meets defense and aerospace requirements, is ap-
proved to US MIL-1-46058C standard and meets IPC-CC-830.
The coating is also UL approved.
