A Commonly used Message Protocol.

Advant Technology uses this for : X-Terminal Communications.

SQL Communications among Oracle Data Bases.

Communication to Printers.

File transfers among Advant Stations.

Used to transfer Non-Real time Data (Example: Display and File Transfers, X-Terminal Communications and SQL Communications among oracle data base) between Advant Stations using TCP/IP Protocol.

Used by Certain Applications automatically without explicit action by User.

Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol


Process I/O Options

The MOD 300 system supports a wide variety of I/O options to meet various project requirements. I/O strategies can be selected independent of the choice of control techniques, and any combination of I/O strategy and control language is valid. Selection can be based on minimizing installation costs, and/or per point costs or maximising security.

Taylor Remote I/O Direct I/O (Model C and SC) High Density I/O (Multibus only) S100 (Advant AC460 and AC410) S800 (Advant AC460 and AC410)


Control Software3 Powerful Control packages

CCF(Configurable Control Functions) TCL(Taylor Control Language) TLL (Taylor Ladder Logic)

All these Software can be combined and executed simultaneously in any Advant Station or Controller Subsystem.

All three Control Languages are backed up as a part of controller redundancy scheme. If a controller fails, all of its functions including CCF, TCL, TLL are Bumplessly transferred to Backup Controller with no interruption to the process.


Configurable Control Functions(CCF)The CCF software provides comprehensive capabilities from a

pre-programmed library of functions Uses Menu driven, Fill in the Blanks approach of Configuration Does not Require Programming Ideal for Continuous control, Device Handling, Interlocking and

Alarm Handling.

Taylor Control Language(TCL) A Structured high Level Language Ideally Suits Sequential/Batch Control, Complex arithmetic and

logic functions, Supervisory tasks such as start-ups and shutdowns and serial interface to third party equipment.


Taylor Ladder Logic (TLL) Provides High Speed, Industry Standard Ladder Logic Control

Processing. Ideal for Device Interlocking, Motor Control and Drum

Programming device Sequencing. Reduces the need for Separate Programmable controllers that

create additional support and Maintenance costs.

ADVANT STATION PERIPHERALS

KEY BOARD SCSI PERIPHERALS SERIAL AND PARRALEL PERIPHERALS R-TAB PORT HARD DISK SPECIFICATIONS RAM SPECIFICATIONS


KEY BOARD

Three types are Available

HP Key Board

MOD300 Universal Key Board

Page Selector Alarm Panel

PS/2 Key Board and Mouse


HP KEY BOARD

Used Mainly for Engineering Fuctions, Loading Software into Advant Stations etc

Connected to Human Interface Language (HIL) Port of the Advant Station

Can be used for Operator Station also.


MOD300 UNIVERSAL KEY BOARD

Used for both Engineering and run time functions Contains a QWERTY Key board, 10 Function Keys and Key

pads with the following types of Keys Ramp Keys Numeric and Cursor Positioning Keys Overview and System Status Keys Display Request Keys Can have a track Ball with two Select Keys on Left Side and two

SCSI PERIPHERALS

Digital Audio Tape Drive(DAT Drive),CD ROM Drive

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID Module)


All devices are Connected to SCSI Port of the Advant Station.

Devices are Daisy Chained with Each item having a SCSI Address ranging from 0 to 7.

SCSI Interface to Mother Board is at address 7. Boot disk should be at the address higher than

any device. Hence Boot Hard disk has address 6. Two hard disks can be connected to the Advant

Station. Second disk (Data Disk) is hence addressed 5.


SCSI addresses are assigned conventionally as follows:

SCSI Address Device1 Floppy Drive2 CD-ROM Drive3 DAT Tape Drive I4 DAT Tape Drive II5 Data Hard Disk6 Boot Hard Disk7 System Unit SCSI Controller

SCSI Bus Length must not Exceed Six Meters including Internal Cabling.

Last Device on the Bus must have a Bus Terminator.


SCSI 2 Bus Configuration Constraints

Cable LengthTotal length of the cable must not exceed 6m.

Always, the shortest possible cable is recommended for configuration.

Single-Ended SCSI 2 Devices Maximum No. ofEach type of

device allowedHard disk drives(Internal and External) 7

Floppy Disk Drives 1

4mm DDS Tape Drives(Internal and External) 2

CD ROM Drives 2

Maximum No. of SCSI-2 Devices allowed 7


SERIAL AND PARALLEL PORTS ADVANT Stations have 2 Serial

Ports(RS-232C Serial Interface) and 1 parallel port.(Centronics Parallel Interface)

Each one of them can be connected to different peripheral devices such as printers.

Dot Matrix printers which are used for Event /Alarm Logging, Report Printing etc., are connected to Serial Port of the Advant Stations

Laser Printers which are used for Screen Copying are connected to Parallel port of the Advant Station

Note : In addition, Network Printers,which are connected to TCP/IP Network can also be configured for Advant Stations.


REAL TIME ACCELERATOR BOARD

The Advant Station comes equipped with the PU512V1 Real-Time Accelerator (RTA) with a DCN Communication Module.

Extends the capabilities of the UNIX workstation.


With a Powerful processor and On-board memory, the Real-Time Accelerator Board handles time-critical

tasks such as real-time database management and DCN communications.

The RTA board is a slave processor board with its own memory and two communication ports.

The RTA board consists of a Mother board with a DCN Communication Module mounted on it.

The on-board software is down-loaded to the RTA at start up of the Advant Station.

The RTA is installed inside the System Unit on the EISA bus adapter.

The communication connectors are available on the rear bulkhead of the System Unit.


HARD DISK and RAM Specifications

Hard Disk 8GB….18GB

RAM Specifications 128MB…512MB


STATION STARTUP Press the Power Switch to ON the Station

Notice that a series of Programs/Daemons are loaded(Unix, Oracle, LAN Interface, SQL Net, Advacommand Inteface, etc.,)

After all the Daemons are Started, X windows application starts and a Prompt to Load Adva command software appears

This may take 2-6 Minutes depending upon the processor speed


Enter the DCN address in the Specified field(If necessary) System allows 60 Second Grace period before auto startup. Click OK to Start the AdvaCommand System boots and Login page appears on the screen.

Note: Selection for “Start AdvaCommand Station in a window” and “Start the Individual tasks in Separate windows” should be “No”


STATION SHUTDOWN Two Steps

AdvaCommand Closure Unix Operating System Shutdown

ADVACOMMAND CLOSING PROCEDURE Press <ctrl> <d>, Type “QUIT” in the command line window that

appears at the bottom of the Screen.

Note: Close all the AdvaBuild Software packages before executing QUIT Command


After Two Minutes, The AdvaCommand Start up window appears.

This window appearance is an indication of Safe adva command Shutdown


Unix Operating System Shutdown

First Method(Using poweroff Script) At the prompt “Would you like to start a HPterm

window” Click the button “Yes”. A HP Terminal Window pops up with a login

prompt. Login as poweroff (Case sensitive) At the prompt password: Enter the Password


Second Method(Using Shutdown command) At the prompt “Would you like to start a HPterm window”

Click Yes. A HP Terminal Window pops up with a login prompt. Login as root (Case sensitive) At the prompt password: Enter the Password At the # prompt, Enter

shutdown –h 0 to halt the station or

shutdown –r 0 to restart the station.

The System will execute an orderly shutdown and You may recycle the power at the end

Or

The System restarts automatically.
