Avtron ADDvantage-32 Advanced Firing Module (AFM)
DC Drive Upgrade and Retrofits

The Avtron ADDvantage-32(TM) AFM DC Drive. For over two decades Avtron has specialized in modernizing and updating older DC drives. Whether you are looking to get the accuracy of digital control on your old analog DC drive or are looking for a solution to upgrade DC drive designs abandoned by your previous supplier, Avtron can help. By replacing failure prone or obsolete electronics process control will be improved and costly downtime can be eliminated. Upgrade costs are dramatically reduced because expensive power bridges, transformers, and motors are reused. The Avtron ADDvantage-32 AFM is compatible with nearly all drives: GE Siltrol, GE Silcomatic, GE DC300, GE DC2000, Siemens Simoreg (SP), Ansaldo, and Reliance. The ADDvantage-32 AFM upgrade can be less expensive than what many other vendors charge to replace or repair systems boards. Avtron has pioneered the concept of "zero downtime" upgrades and can upgrade your drive with a minimal disturbance to your process. Other DC Drive retrofit options include: ACM and DMG. Also available are AC drives closed loop ACCEL500 HP and sensorless vector ACCEL500 GP.
