Network Platform Hardware Introduction

Simplified Electronics •

Standard – Single-Board Computer (Measurement Processing, Frame Control, Communication, etc.) – Data Acquisition (1 or 2) – RS-485 for communication to frame control panels – Fiber-optic Ethernet Adapter – HDLC specifically for Fiber Orientation sensor

•

Custom (ABB-designed) – Signal Conditioning Board (1 or 2) – Power Conditioning Board – Signal Jumper Board (1 or 2) – Signal Backplane – Power Backplane

Electronics required for Smart Platform with BW, Moisture, Cal. & Ash MPRC & BRAM

What is Smart it?Platform

Hardware

The AccuRay Smart Processing Center (ASPC) 1989 - 2008 • Custom electronics • Legacy technology • Difficult to modify • Supportability risks

Network Platform Network Platform ASPC 2008 • Mostly standard electronics • State-of-the-art technology • Modern standards • Easily supported, now & future

What is it? MPRC

ECS

Hardware

Smart Platform • Motorola 68040 (40 MHz) • Custom-built for ABB • 1980’s technology

RAM

Network Platform Single-Board PC (Intel Pentium 1.1 GHz) • Running Windows xP embedded • No hard drive • Application on Compact Flash • Standard data acquisition board • Custom boards are low-complexity SBC (side 1) SBC (side 2)

What did not change?

• Frame structure (+1) • Serviceability (+1) • Sensors & head package • Cabling (for now)

Software

• Several obsolete & proprietary operating systems • Obsolete version of C programming language • Very limited resources for modifications • 2-3 days to build, install and test object code when source has been modified Network Platform • Microsoft current standard highperformance embedded O/S • De-facto standard application language C++ • 2-4 hours to build, install and test object code when source has been modified

Why did we do it? • • • • • • • • • • •

Replacement of obsolete hardware Replacement of obsolete software Improved visibility and diagnostics Modern platform to enable continued product development for the next 10-15 years Improved ease of use for the maintainer (tools, SW updates) Reduced training requirements More flexibility of sensor compliments Easier to configure in factory / project delivery Faster scanning (if needed) – 600 mm/sec now; maybe 1000 future Improved integration with 800xA Asset Optimization / Remote Diag. Environmental compliance (printed circuit board components)

Why did we do it? • Current product is a platform to leap forward into many new technology ideas: – Currently using 25% of the RAM capability – Currently using
