# Product Summary of Advant Controller 210 ## I. Product Positioning and Core Configuration Advant Controller 210 is a compact and cost-effective open control system (Advant® OCS) launched by ABB, belonging to the Advant product series. Its configuration and programming are performed via the **Advant Control Builder** software running on the Windows NT system. It holds CE and UL certifications, making it suitable for industrial control scenarios. ## II. Hardware Features 1. **Basic Structure and Interfaces** - Adopts a compact design, supports DIN rail mounting, and is equipped with detachable power supply and I/O terminal blocks for easy installation and maintenance. - Integrates 10 binary inputs and 6 binary outputs, which can be expanded to connect up to 16 external I/O units to meet control needs of different scenarios. - Incorporates 2 RJ-45 interfaces for RS232 communication, with 2 slots for optional interface units (such as the CI274 unit supporting PROFIBUS-DP). - Equipped with 3 LED indicators (displaying power, fault, and program stop status), as well as a reset button, start/stop switch, and operation mode selection switch, facilitating status monitoring and operation. 2. **I/O System Support** - **Central I/O**: Supports S200/S200L series I/O, which can be connected centrally via a serial bus or distributed via PROFIBUS-DP; up to 8 external I/O units can be directly plugged into the controller and mounted on the same DIN rail, and an additional 8 can be connected via the TK210 cable and 200-AIO adapter. - **Distributed I/O**: The optional PROFIBUS-DP interface unit CI274 supports distributed connection of S800 series I/O (requiring the CI830 adapter). S200/S200L series can be connected via the 200-APB12 adapter, with a single adapter supporting up to 8 I/O units. 3. **Optional Components** - **Battery/Real-Time Clock Unit (SB210)**: Includes a 3.0V lithium-manganese battery (model CR2430), which can maintain RAM data for approximately 1 year, record power-off duration, and supports hot-swap replacement. Without this unit, RAM data will be lost about 20 minutes after power-off. - **Programming Cable (TK211)**: 3 meters in length, with a 9-pin D-SUB interface and an 8-pin RJ-45 connector at both ends, used to connect a PC to the RS232 channel of the controller. ## III. Software Functions (Advant Control Builder) 1. **Core Control Functions** - Includes logic functions (flip-flops, timers, counters, etc.) compliant with the IEC 61131-3 standard, PID regulation functions, as well as alarm/event recognition and local print output functions. 2. **Communication Capabilities** - Communicates with programming tools via a serial interface based on the MMS protocol (SattLink). - Communicates with external systems (such as HMI, SCADA) via the RS232 channel, supporting 3964R (client), COMLI, MMS protocols, and custom protocols. ## IV. Technical Parameters 1. **Environment and Certifications** - Operating temperature: 5°C~55°C during operation, -25°C~70°C during storage; humidity 5%~95% (non-condensing), protection class IP20. - Certifications: Compliant with CE standards (EN 50081-2/EN 50082-2) and UL 508 certification (for the US and Canada). 2. **I/O Technical Details** - **Inputs**: 10 positive logic inputs, supporting 15~30V DC signals, with second-order low-pass filters (time constant adjustable from 0.5~32ms), maximum input impedance of 6.2kΩ. - **Outputs**: 6 positive logic outputs, supporting 19~30V DC signals, maximum output current of 3A per unit, 600mA per channel, with short-circuit, over-temperature (approximately 160°C), and undervoltage (when +24V drops below 8V) protection. 3. **Communication Parameters** - **RS232 channels**: 2 channels, channel 0 has a fixed baud rate of 9600 Baud, channel 1 supports 75~38400 Baud, maximum cable length of 15 meters. - **PROFIBUS-DP (CI274)**: Class 1 master, transmission rates from 9.6 kBit/s to 12 MBit/s, maximum distance of 100~1200 meters (depending on the rate), no galvanic isolation, power consumption of approximately 700mA (DC 5V). 4. **Dimensions and Weight** - Controller dimensions: 282×107×55mm; SB210 dimensions: 44×57mm (weight 15g); TK211 cable weight: 125g. ## V. Ordering and Support - Main component order codes: PROFIBUS-DP interface (CI274), battery unit (SB210), replacement battery (CR2430), programming cable (TK211). - ABB's global regional centers provide technical support, covering Europe, the Americas, Germany, and the Asia-Pacific region (see the original text for specific contact information).
