ACN CS controller
Embedded industrial controller
ACN CS is a high performance

multifunction controller designed
for embedded and standalone
applications. ACN CS is used for
process controls, connectivity, fast
machine controls and advanced
controls like fuzzy and multivariable
controls.
ACN CS can be used in
combination with ACN RT, ACN C20,
ACN SR1 and Valmet DNA VME
controllers.
Industrial demands • Dual 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connections for commu-

• Fast control cycles, as low as 20 ms nication with other nodes
• No moving parts (no fan nor hard disk) • Standard serial port links for communication with
• IP20 enclosure protection third party devices
• One-to-one redundancy capability
• Removable CompactFlash.
Mounting ACN CS Interface with Valmet DNA I/O field buses
ACN CS is installed either vertically on a mounting • By default, there is one 10/100Base-T port
plate with screws, or on a shelf mounted on a standard available for Valmet DNA I/O field buses. The

PROFIBUS DP Interface
• PCI card slots are used for PROFIBUS DP
interfaces. The PROFIBUS DP card is a one- or a
two-channel card.
Serial interfaces
• ACN CS has one RS-232 port available by de-
fault. PCI slots can be used for additional serial
interfaces. The serial interface card is either an
8-channel RS-232 or a two-channel isolated RS-
485/RS-422. Multiple serial interface protocols
are supported.

• Interfaces to external systems using e.g. Mod-
bus/TCP protocol.

Redundancy
ACN CS supports redundant Valmet DNA Ethernet
networks, redundant controllers (one-to-one redun-
dancy), redundant I/O field buses for ACN I/O and
rack I/O, plus redundant PROFIBUS DB field buses.

Engineering
The engineering library of the ACN CS controller
provides function blocks for controls at all levels,
including basic process control, advanced quality,
drives, and optimization controls. Fuzzy, MPC, and
Java function blocks are available as a standard.
Valmet DNA Engineering - Function Block CAD
tool is used for designing function block diagrams
for process control loops, sequences, and interface
applications.
Function block diagrams are saved in a common
database located on the Engineering Server. At the
same time, a function block diagram is a graphical
document of an application, which is loaded in the Function block diagram
runtime environment. This ensures that the docu-
mentation is always up-to-date.
Capacity
• The typical number of I/Os connected to ACN
CS is less than 2000. The amount depends on the
control cycles.
• Control cycles from 20 ms to 64 s, typically 400 ms.
• 1-3 V DNA I/O field buses, 1-4 PROFIBUS DP
buses, 1 FF HSE bus, max. 5 field buses in total.
