Note: The CIP Protocol is intended to allow AADvance users to exchange data
between AADvance controllers and the Allen Bradley Logix family controllers, using
produce/consume messaging. Produce/Consume messaging does not support
downloading to or for monitoring AADvance controllers. It is not recommended to
use the CIP network to exchange data between AADvance controllers unless this is
exclusively for non-safety data. The SNCP network should be used for Safety related
data exchange between AADvance Controllers (see SNCP and variable Bindings in this
publication).
HART
The AADvance controller supports utilizing dedicated HART modems on each
analogue input and output channel allowing HART field device status, diagnostics and
process data to be integrated into the application logic, thus increasing the level of SIF
diagnostics significantly.
The AADvance analogue input/output modules use HART commands #03 to collect
data from the field device as defined by Revision 5 of the HART specification. The
application can be configured to use HART information to monitor and respond to
device conditions. It may also be used to provide diagnostic information such as
comparison and error reporting.
An additional feature of the AADvance controller is that it also combines with the
AADvance DTM to enable asset management software (ASM) to communicate with
HART devices.
Note: The AADvance system does not alter the messages passed between the asset
management software and the field device and acts as a transport mechanism only.
AADvance HART Features
 Provides passthru support for HART Standards 5, 6 and 7.
 Variables can be configured for each Analogue input and output channel to
monitor HART device information.
 HART support is available on each Analogue Input or Output channel.
 AADvance uses a single dedicated Ethernet port for HART passthru
communication.
 Supports the AADvance DTM provided by Rockwell Automation.
A typical HART set up is shown below:
