Woodward The controller’s dedicated TMR® Discrete I/O Module

This triple power supply structure provides maximum protection against single or multiple points of

hardware failure.

The controller’s dedicated TMR® Discrete I/O Module is designed for critical discrete circuits.

The module accepts discrete inputs and distributes them to each individual core section,

as well as outputs relay contacts to drive discrete application logic.

The module’s special TMR® outputs utilize a six-relay configuration and integrated potential fault

detection logic that allows any one or two relays to fail without affecting the integrity of the output

contacts.

This configuration allows routine relay testing and in-circuit repair without compromising output or

system integrity.

Designed from the ground up as a turbine control system, the MicroNet TMR® controller’s actuator

drive module is available with the use of single or dual redundant coils,

Proportional or integral turbine valve servos with AC or DC feedback position sensors using single or dual

redundant coils.

The MicroNet TMR® controller can accommodate any combination of Woodward MicroNet I/O modules

and LinkNet HT distributed I/O to provide maximum application flexibility.

Woodward MicroNet TMR® control

Description

The MicroNet TMR® control platform features a ruggedized rackmount chassis

with in-line replaceable I/O modules and triple modular architecture for 99.999% availability.

This triple modular redundancy-based system consists of three independent cores

(A, B, and C) housed in the platform’s compact chassis.

Each core section includes its own CPU, CPU power supply, and up to four I/O modules,

which can be used for simplex I/O, redundant I/O, triple redundant I/O, or any combination of

redundancy.

I/O can be expanded via a system expansion chassis or the ruggedized LinkNet HT Distributed I/O.

The platform’s high-density modules and integrated application software reduce

troubleshooting time by providing first-out indication of monitored system events.

These specialized modules can time stamp discrete events in 1 millisecond and analog events in 5

milliseconds.

The MicroNet TMR® utilizes two power supplies, each supplying power to the controller from a separate

power source.

Within each power supply are three independent power converters, one each for the CPU and I/O

sections.

This triple power supply structure provides maximum protection against single or multiple points of

hardware failure.

The controller’s dedicated TMR® Discrete I/O Module is designed for critical discrete circuits.

ABB KNX is a standard protocol for intelligent control

KNX and BACnet

Intelligent building automation

KNX is a standard protocol for intelligent control

and supervision of all systems in a building.

The KNX standard has already been used success

fully for over 20 years in the building automation

segment. ABB has a huge number of KNX devices

in the portfolio and great experience with KNX solutions.

By adding the KNX protocol to AC500 V3. ABB can

now offer a powerful and freely programmable

KNX building automation controller with flexible

expandable I/O modules. With KNX and BACnet

the AC500 product portfolio is now also available

for innovative building automation.

The proven ABB AbilityTM Automation Builder

engineering tool is integrated with the ETS and

ETS apps to assist you in building your application.

ABB IEC61850 is a standard defining TCP/IP protocol

IEC61850

Substation communication

IEC61850 is a standard defining TCP/IP protocol

for electrical substations. The protocol is well

known and widely used. Using that TüV certified

protocol, AC500 PLC can act as an IED providing

an IEC 61850 MMS server for standardized data

exchange or use GOOSE publisher/subscriber

communication for higher priority data.

ABB’s ABB AbilityTM Automation Builder engineer

ing suite integrates the IED configuration and

data mapping for seamless and easy combination

with the application program.

Better support on portable devices with HTML5

web server technology

All AC500 V3 CPUs come with an integrated web

server based on the HTML5 technology. This

technology is supported by nearly all browsers,

and is therefore also available on devices with

OS and/or Android. Web visualization enables

easy and convenient remote access, monitoring,

service and diagnosis of a system over the inter

net. Web visualization offers a large number of

basic elements and controls with many adaptationoptions.

Using these, the user can quickly and

easily create attractive and high-quality visualiza

tion interfaces for widely varying applications in

the automation industry. State of the art visual

ization can be created using standard tools suit

from ABB AbilityTM Automation Builder.

Within the AC500 portfolio, the control panel

range CP600 can be used to display the integrated HTML5 WEB visualization.

ABB AC500 V3 OPC UA server Data connectivity

OPC UA server

Data connectivity

OPC UA, Unified Architecture, is a protocol for

information exchange for industrial communica

tion. This means that OPC UA is a standardized

vendor-independent Ethernet protocol, scalable

for a lean data access between a client and server.

OPC UA is widely adopted in many different

industries like automotive, food and beverage,

utilities and infrastructure.

OPC UA fulfills the requirements of IoT and

Industry 4.0. Security is established based on

certificates. AC500 V3 supports the OPC UA

services “Data access”, “User management” and

“Alarm and conditions”.

ABB AC500 MQTT is a TCP/IP messaging protocol

MQTT

Cloud connectivity

MQTT is a TCP/IP messaging protocol mainly

used for lightweight messaging to the cloud.

In the environment of MQTT, edge devices like

controllers act as clients and communicate with

a broker situated in the cloud.

They publish data based on events using topics.

Other clients like SCADA systems or monitoring

applications can subscribe to these topics and

receive data as they arrive. This enables the easy

and low-bandwidth connection of many devices.

AC500 V3 uses TLS encryption to establish secure

communication.

ABB AC500 Secure connectivity Remote units

Secure connectivity

Remote units

AC500 works as edge-gateway and is directly

connected to the cloud. Security is established

through TLS encryption.
