Description
ABB ADPI-01 64532588D
It is an ADPI (Advant Controller 500 Series Interface) module for System 800xA.

Detailed Functional Analysis
-
Interface/Gateway Function:
-
Its core purpose is to act as a communication interface and gateway between the legacy ABB Advant Controller 500 Series (e.g., AC 450, AC 460) and the modern System 800xA platform.
-
It enables the seamless integration of traditional Advant controllers into the modern 800xA architecture, protecting existing user investments and enabling smooth system upgrades and expansion.
-
-
System Integration:
-
The ADPI-01 module is installed in the rack of a System 800xA node.
-
It connects, typically via a CI854 or similar communication interface module, to the MasterBus 300 network where the Advant controllers reside.
-
Within the 800xA system, the ADPI-01 acts as a “proxy,” mapping the data and status information from the Advant controllers and their connected I/O modules (like S800 I/O) into the 800xA’s global data environment.
-
-
Data Mapping and Access:
-
It makes all process variables, status signals, alarm information, etc., from the Advant controller fully available within the 800xA engineering and operator station environment.
-
Operators can use the unified 800xA interface to monitor and control field devices connected to the Advant controllers as if they were modern controllers.
-
Key Features
-
Compatibility: Specifically designed to integrate the Advant Controller 500 Series with System 800xA.
-
High Integrity: Ensures highly reliable and deterministic data access to the legacy controllers within the 800xA environment.
-
Simplified Engineering: The ADPI-01 and its connected Advant system can be configured within the 800xA’s Control Builder engineering tool, providing a unified engineering environment.
-
Redundancy Support: Can often be configured in redundant pairs, working with redundant Advant controllers to enhance system availability.
Typical Application Scenarios
This module is primarily used for modernizing existing ABB Advant OCS (Open Control System) or MOD 300 systems in various industrial sectors, such as:
-
Oil & Gas (Offshore platforms, refineries)
-
Chemicals & Petrochemicals
-
Pulp & Paper
-
Power Generation (Thermal, Hydro)
-
Metals & Mining
