Corrective Maintenance and Module Replacement
Scheduled maintenance consists of checking the I/O Module calibrations and
proof tests. Detailed scheduled and corrective maintenance information is
given in the AADvance Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual Doc No:
ICSTT-RM406
. Corrective maintenance is by module replacement and where
required fuse replacement in Termination Assemblies. In dual and triple
modular redundant configurations, you can remove a module and install a
new one without interrupting the system operation. In simplex configurations
removing a module will interrupt the system operation. However, certain
restrictions apply on module replacement timing for Safety Related systems
(see the AADvance Safety Manual - ICSTT-RM446
for guidance).
Field connection wiring is attached at the connectors on the termination
assemblies. Ethernet and Serial data connections are made at the T9100
Processor Base Unit. There are no physical links needed to be set up on any
modules or base units. Standard modules are used for all the different
configurations.
TUV Approved Operating System
The AADvance system runs an IEC 61508 approved operating system and the
overall system is certified to IEC 61508, Part 1-7: 1998 - 2000 SIL 3.
Main Components An AADvance controller is built from durable processor and I/O modules and
assemblies designed to IEC 61508 standards for safety systems and runs the
AADvance Workbench software or AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation
IMPORTANT
Processor modules must be replaced with a module containing
the same firmware revision, you cannot use processor modules
with different firmware revisions on the same controller.
