2.6.1 Servicing Tool
See Section 2.4.2.3, Connection of Engineering Station for a description of installing an
engineering station, the main servicing tool. For detailed information about its use, see separate
documentation.
2.6.2 Safety Regulations
The instructions given in Section 2.2.1, Safety Regulations are applicable in all situations when
you work with an Advant Controller and associated equipment. Please read the instructions
carefully. One instruction is highlighted:
DANGER
Work with care when supply voltage is applied in the system. The voltage in
the cabinet can cause injury and can even kill a human being.
2.6.3 General Guidelines
Naturally, all design considerations given in Section 3.1, Design Considerations are also
relevant to installation in a system already in operation. Among other things, you may want to
reflect upon:
• Hardware, types and location.
• Type of carrier board eventually needed.
• Restrictions in function combinations.
• Software (program modules) needed to produce the total application you desire, for
example, MasterBus 300, aimed at central operator station communication, which
requires, in addition to the communication equipment, the central operator station software
option.
• Interface to application program to be used.
•CPU load.
• Power supply requirement.
• Heat dissipation.
In Table 2-18, you can find information about whether or not a function can be implemented on-
line.
On-Line/Off-Line
On-line means that all work can be carried out while the controller is in full operation.
Because of the risk of making manual mistakes in such handling, and the possible severe
consequences to the process controlled, it is recommended that you use this on-line facility
restrictively.
The best method of working:
The system is stopped and the voltage supply is disconnected when a new function is
installed.
