METSO+A413240A

Description

Based on the available information and the context of ABB’s Advant OCS (also known as Valmet Automation’s Valmet 8000 DCS) systems, here’s what I can share about the METSO A413240A module:

Potential Product Name and Description:

• The module is likely an ABB Advant OCS Module (or Valmet 8000 DCS Module) with the model number A413240A.
• The “A” prefix suggests it belongs to a category other than the usual I/O modules (typically denoted by “D”). However, unlike many other “A” prefixed modules, there is some publicly available information about the A413240A.

Potential Function (based on available information):

While not definitively confirmed, the A413240A module is likely a PIC2 (Peripheral Interface Controller 2) based communication module within the Advant OCS/Valmet 8000 DCS system.

• PIC2: This refers to a microcontroller family used in the module.
• Communication Module: This suggests the module is responsible for data exchange between the DCS controller and other systems or devices using specific protocols.

Information Needed for Confirmation:

Although the available information points towards a communication module function, it’s important to verify this information for complete confidence:

• Module Appearance: Look for any labels, markings, or indicators on the module, such as:
  • Part numbers: These can be used to search for specific documentation online.
  • Any specific descriptions or keywords: The module might have labels indicating its function, like “communication” or “network.”
• System Documentation: If you have any manuals or documentation for the specific Advant OCS or Valmet 8000 DCS system where the module is used, it’s crucial to consult them. The system configuration details or module lists might explicitly mention the A413240A module and its function within your setup.

Additional Tips:

• Online Search: You can try searching online using the model number “METSO A413240A” along with keywords like “ABB,” “Advant OCS,” “Valmet 8000 DCS,” or “communication module.” While official resources might be limited, you might find forum discussions or user experiences mentioning the module and its function.
• Contact ABB or Valmet Automation Support: You can contact either ABB or Valmet Automation support, depending on the system branding and timeframe when the system was installed. Provide them with the model number (A413240A) and any additional information you can gather from the module’s appearance or context within the system. Their technical support can provide the most accurate and confirmed information about the module’s function and functionalities within your DCS system.
