Projects / Advant Station 500

Advant Station 500 The Advant Station 500 Operator Station (AS 500 OS) features high-powered, RISC-based workstations, supplemented with a special real-time interface board. The workstations run UNIX, Motif, X Window System and SQL-compliant relational databases, and are used as Operator Stations and Information Management Stations. The stations run appropriate combinations of AdvaCommand, AdvaInform, and AdvaBuild software.

The Advant Station 500 has been developed and manufactured by ABB Automation Technology Products AB since 1993.

Newcon Data AB has during the years, from 1991 to 2007, performed a number of software projects related to the Advant Station 500.

Development of applications in Advant Station 500 OS

  • Development of the object oriented software OMF (Object Management Facility), handling distributed objects in Advant Station 500. Software developed in C++ for operating system HP-UX,
  • Development of tape backup applications in Advant Station 500. Software developed in C++, TeleUSE d language and SQL for operating system HP-UX.

Development of applications in Advant Station 500 IMS

  • Development of object oriented software, in C++ for operating system HP-UX, for a "server application" used in a paper and pulp application in Advant Station 500 IMS. The application is using OMF as communication layer.
  • Development of tools, in C++, TeleUSE d language and SQL for operating system HP-UX. The tools are used for configuring of calculations, objects and history in Advant Station 500 IMS.
  • Development of "User Objects", in C++ and SQL for operating system HP-UX, for the Advant Station 500 IMS. The ”User Objects” are used in a steel and rolling mill application.
