Identifiers of Process Inputs/Outputs


Process inputs/outputs are identified by terminal numbers assigned.
Since plant operation may require to identify all the I/O signals with unique names, so that
all the I/O signals can be tagged or assigned with a user-defined label, thus as to assign a
contact input or output with a tag name or to assign an analog input or output channel with
a user-defined label.
TIP
From a SEBOL program, a Visual Basic program or a Windows application (other than CS 3000 HMI
applications), a terminal number, tag name and user-defined label can be used to identify an I/O signal.

Using analog inputs/outputs, an FCS can receive and output analog signals from/to
field equipment.

Analog Inputs/Outputs : PFCS/LFCS2/LFCS/SFCS


Analog inputs/outputs are process inputs/outputs which handle analog signals such as DC
voltages and currents.
The input/output range for each input/output module (IOM) for each type of I/O and the raw
data obtained from the input analog signals are shown in the table below.

IMPORTANT
Among Thermocouple input modules and Resistance Temperature Detector input
modules, some (AAM21J, AMM22TJ, AMM25C, AMM32TJ, AMM32CJ) conform to
new JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) while some others (AAM21, AMM22T,
AMM32T, AMM32C) conform to old JIS. Except for AMM25C, the CS 1000/CS 3000
Software does not distinguish the difference between the two types, and only use the
old JIS model names for both types of modules. In this chapter, unless otherwise
specified, AAM21/AMM22/AMM32T/AMM32C stand for both new JIS and old JIS type
modules.
When implementing the Current/Voltage input modules for BRAIN transmitters
(AAM11B), the required software package is option package. For details on the option

TIP
Some I/O modules can have different types of signals on the terminals. Among them, in some I/O
modules each terminal can be defined individually with specific I/O signal type. While in some other I/O
modules, the terminals are fixed with I/O signal types even though the module can handle different signal
types.

I/O Signal Type Definable for Each Terminal


As the following example illustrates, the descriptions in the table indicate that any of the terminals
numbered 1 to 8 can be defined with either Voltage Input or Current Input. Or even multiple I/O signal

A3.2 Contact Inputs/Outputs


Using contact inputs/outputs, an FCS can receive and output ON/OFF signals from/to
field equipment.

Contact Inputs/Outputs : PFCS/LFCS2/LFCS/SFCS


Contact inputs/outputs are process inputs/outputs which handle ON/OFF signals such as
DC voltages and currents.
The ON/OFF signal is a digital value of either 0 or 1, which together with an indication of the
quality of that value, shows the status of the process data item.
Contact input modules are classified into the following two types according to the input
signal.
Status input module
Used for monitoring the status of contact inputs. ON/OFF status of input contact
signals is used as the measured value (raw data).
Pushbutton input module
Used for the input signal from pushbutton switches where the signal status change
from ON to OFF or vice versa is momentary.
Contact output modules are classified into the following three types;
Status Output
Pulse-Width Output
Time-Proportioning ON/OFF Output
TIP
Pulse-Width Output modules and Time-Proportioning ON/OFF Output modules are supported only in
LFCS2 and LFCS. For PFCS and SFCS, Pulse-width output signals and Time-Proportioning ON/OFF
output signals are handled by Status output modules.

An I/O module will perform the input processing according to the type of the I/O module
entered on the IOM Builder.
The input/output range and raw data for each model of input/output module (IOM) used for
contact inputs/outputs are shown in the table below.

Contact Inputs/Outputs : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


Contact I/O indicates the I/O interfaces that receive or send ON/OFF process signals.
The ON/OFF signal of process data represented by a digital value 1 or 0, and attached with
a data status signal to represent the quality of the data.
The contact I/O consist of the following eight types of I/O inputs.
Status Input
Pushbutton Input
Status/Pushbutton Input
Status Output
Pulse-Width Output (Including Time-Proportion ON/OFF Output)
Status/Pulse-Width Output
Status/Pulse-Width Output (Local Nodes Only)
ST Compatible (No-Voltage Contact I/O Signals) (*1)
*1:

ST Compatible means the I/O modules are compatible with the CENTUM V and CENTUM-XL ST2, ST3, ST4, ST5,
ST6 and ST7 modules which handle No-Voltage contact I/O signals. The I/O signals can be handled by ST compatible
modules are:
Status Input
Pushbutton Input
Status Output/Pulse-Width Output
Status Input/Status Output/Pulse-Width Output

A status input signal is represented by the ON/OFF status of a contact input.


A pushbutton input signal is represented by a status change (either from ON to OFF or
OFF to ON) of a contact input.
When an I/O signal type is designated on IOM builder for an I/O module, the I/O module
performs the signal input or output processing accordingly.

Some I/O modules can have different types of signals on the terminals. Among them, in some I/O
modules each terminal can be defined individually with specific I/O signal type. While in some other I/O
modules, the terminals are fixed with I/O signal types even though the module can handle different signal
types.

As the following example illustrates, the descriptions in the table indicate that any of the terminals
numbered 1 to 32 can be defined with either Pulse-Width Output or Time-Proportioning ON/OFF
Output. For Pulse-Width Output signals, two points of outputs are required. So that, only specify the
odd number points when connecting the I/O to the function blocks. Be sure to reserve the next even
numbered point.

Cautions on Selecting Status Output/Pulse-Width Output Modules


Some Status Output/Pulse-Width Output modules can define each point to either Status
Output or Pulse-Width Output freely. If both the Status Output and Pulse-Width Output
points are mixed in a module, the timing of status output to the field device may deviate by 8
points or 16 points.
In the cases such as coding the multiple output points, the status output timings of all points
should be the same. So that use the I/O modules that all points are Status Output type, or
use the I/O modules that the Status Output points and Pulse-Width Output points are fixed
to the points. By this way, the output timing of all status output points could be the same.
The following Status Output/Pulse-Width Output modules can freely assign each point to
either Status Output or Pulse-Width Output.

The following Status Output/Pulse-Width Output modules have previously assigned points
for Status output and Pulse-Width output separately.
Status Output/Pulse-Width Output module
ADV-561P
TIP
Regarding to the Status Output/Pulse-Width Output modules that output points can be freely assigned to
either Status Output or Pulse-Width Output, the status output actions are explained as follows.

Write from FCU to I/O Modules


When writing from FCU to I/O modules, writing is performed in a unit of 16 points. In local nodes,
writing always interrupts other processing. Thus delay occurs by each 16 points when writing to I/O
modules. However, for the status outputs, the signals are output in the units of modules.

Write from I/O Modules to Field Devices


ST compatible I/O modules output signals to field devices in the units of 16 points. Other I/O modules
output signals to field devices in the units of 8 points.
The outputs of terminal 1 to 32 from the modules other than ST compatible type have the following
delays.
Terminal 1 to 8
Terminal 9 to 16

Two milliseconds after outputs of terminal 1 to 8.

Terminal 17 to 24 Four milliseconds after outputs of terminal 1 to 8.


Terminal 25 to 32 Six milliseconds after outputs of terminal 1 to 8.

Cautions on Installing ST Compatible Modules into Remote Nodes


A ST compatible module outputs each 16 status signals to the field. When ST compatible
modules are installed in remote modes, the outputs are delayed in the unit of 16 signals. If
four remote nodes are connected to an EB401, the delay time is 50 ms. If eight nodes
connected to a EB401, the delay time becomes 100 ms.

compatible module, the segment number is set to 1 for analog input/output and set to 2 for HART variable. When using
process input/output module, the segment number is always 1.

Condition Testing for Status Inputs


For status input signal, PV is equal to ON when the input is ON, PV is equal to OFF when
the input is OFF.

Condition Testing for Pushbutton Inputs


For pushbutton input signal, a change of the input from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF may
be detected. (Whether OFF to ON or ON to OFF is to be used is specified in the IOM Builder.)
When a change is detected, PV is equal to ON. It then changes to OFF after one scan cycle.

A3.2.2 Contact Output


Using contact outputs, an FCS can output ON/OFF signals to field equipment.

Contact Output
Contact outputs are used to output ON/OFF signals from FCS to field equipment according
to the contact ON/OFF status.
In a sequence control, the contact output signal can be used to send commands to a valve
or a pump for external operations, at the same time, the output signals can also be used as

If the output of the connected function block is pulse output, the output terminal also outputs the pulse even though the
point mode is set as SO.

When PW, TP or PO point mode is specified to an output module terminal, the module
outputs ON/OFF signals in accordance with the output pulse time. If the module terminal is
specified with SO point mode, or if the module is installed in a PFCS/SFCS that does not
support point mode setting, the CPU of FCU (CPU of FCS in case of PFCS/SFCS) sets the
modules ON/OFF outputs.

Contact Output Module Type: PFCS/SFCS


The output type of the I/O module can be chosen on PFCS/SFCS builder is status type
only.However, the I/O modules can give the different types of output (such as status contact
output, pulse width contact output or time-proportioning contact output) according to the
output signal from the function blocks that the I/O module connected since the ON/OFF
output commands are given from FCS CPU. Moreover, different types of output can be
performed by one I/O module. Since FCS CPU sends ON/OFF commands to the I/O
modules for different types of outputs, thus when an error occurs at the upper level (such as
in the CPU card), the I/O modules may give the contact outputs or give the 100% timeproportioning output (MV) with the following behaviors.
When an error occurs at the upper level of the I/O modules, the ON or OFF outputs
from the I/O modules are continuous regardless of the output type of the module is
Pulse, Pulse-Width or Time-Proportioning. For the modules not specified with
Fallback, or for the modules with Fallback but [All points maintain current value] option
is checked, the I/O modules keep the output status at the moment that the error
occurred. For the modules with Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked, the
modules become to output OFF signals at the moment that the error occurred.
The time-proportioning ON/OFF output signal also becomes OFF for a moment even
when the output is 100%.
Suppose a time-proportioning ON/OFF output cycle is 10 seconds, the output becomes ON for 5 seconds if the MV is 50%, while the output becomes ON for 10
seconds if MV is 100%.
However, even when the MV is 100% all the time, the output may momentarily becomes OFF for a very short time. Since the output timings of the function blocks, FCS
CPU and output modules are not always consistent, this phenomenon occurs to the
time-proportioning output.

Types of Contact Outputs : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


Contact I/O modules support the following types of outputs.
Status Output
When an I/O module is used for status output or pulse output, the module is specified
to Status Output. Both status output or pulse output can be applied on the same
module. For each output point on the I/O module, the point mode can be designated
as Status Output (SO) if the point is used for status or pulse output. If the pulse output
is required, the output of the connected function block should be specified as pulse
output.
Pulse-Width Output
When an I/O module is used for Pulse-Width Output or Time-Proportioning ON/OFF
Output, the module is specified to Pulse-Width Output. Both status output and pulse
output can be applied on the same module. For each output point on the I/O module,
the point mode can be specified as Pulse-Width Output (PW) or Time-Proportioning
ON/OFF Output (TP).
Status/Pulse-Width Output
When an I/O module is used for status output (including pulse output), Pulse-Width
Output or Time-Proportioning ON/OFF Output, the module is specified to Status/
Pulse-Width Output. The status output (including pulse output), Pulse-Width Output
and Time-Proportioning ON/OFF Output can be applied on the same module. For
each output point on the I/O module, the point mode can be specified as Status
Output (SO), Pulse-Width Output (PW) or Time-Proportioning ON/OFF Output (TP).
However, for some I/O modules, part or all of terminals are fixed to Status Output (SO)
while some others are fixed to Pulse-Width Output (PW) or Time-Proportioning ON/
OFF Output (TP).
When an error occurs at upper level (FCS CPU), the contact output behaves as follows.
Status/Pulse Output
When an error occurs at the upper level of the I/O modules, the ON or OFF outputs
from the I/O modules are continuous. For the modules not specified with Fallback, or
for the modules with Fallback but [All points maintain current value] option is checked,
the I/O modules keep the ON/OFF output status at the moment that the error occurred. For modules with Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked, the modules output OFF signals from the moment that the error occurred.
Pulse-Width Output
When an error occurs at the upper level of the I/O modules, for the modules not
specified with Fallback, or for the modules with Fallback but [All points maintain current
value] option is checked, the I/O modules continue the ON/OFF output status at the
moment that the error occurred until the current output cycle is completed, then output
OFF signals. For the modules with Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked,
the modules become to output OFF signals at the moment that the error occurred.
Time-proportioning ON/OFF Output
When an error occurs at the upper level of the I/O modules, for the modules not
specified with Fallback, or for the modules with Fallback but [All points maintain current
value] option is checked, the I/O modules continue the ON/OFF output status and the
ON/OFF time proportions at the moment that the error occurred. For the modules with
Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked, the modules become to output OFF
signals at the moment that the error occurred.

Types of Contact Outputs : LFCS2/LFCS


The output types of the input/output module contains the following:
Status contact output
When the output signals are status type or pulse type, the status type I/O module can
be used. Both status outputs and pulse outputs can be given together from one I/O
module. Each terminal of the I/O module can be designated as a Status Output (SO)
or a Pulse Output (PO) by specifying the point mode of the terminal.
Pulse width contact output
When the output signals are pulse width type, the pulse width contact output type I/O
module can be used. The point modes of all terminals of this type I/O module are all
fixed to pulse width (PW) type.
Time-proportioning contact output
When the output signals are time-proportioning or pulse width type, the Time-proportioning contact output type I/O module can be used. Both time-proportioning outputs
and pulse width outputs can be given from one I/O module together. Each terminal of
the I/O module can be designated as a Time-Proportioning ON/OFF (TP) or a Pulse
Width (PW) output by specifying the point mode of the terminal.
When an error occurs at upper level (FCS CPU), the contact output behaves as follows.
Status/Pulse Output
When an error occurs at the upper level of the I/O modules, the ON or OFF outputs
from the I/O modules are continuous. For the modules not specified with Fallback, or
for the modules with Fallback but [All points maintain current value] option is checked,
the I/O modules keep the ON/OFF output status at the moment that the error occurred. For modules with Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked, the modules output OFF signals from the moment that the error occurred.
Pulse-Width Output
For the modules not specified with Fallback, the I/O modules continue the ON/OFF
output status at the moment that the error occurred until the current output cycle is
completed, then output OFF signals.
For the modules specified with Fallback and [All points maintain current value] option
is checked, the I/O modules continue the ON/OFF output status at the moment that
the error occurred.
For the modules with Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked, the modules
become to output OFF signals at the moment that the error occurred.
Time-proportioning ON/OFF Output
For the modules not specified with Fallback, the I/O modules continue the ON/OFF
output status and time-proportion at the moment that the error occurred.
For the modules specified with Fallback and [All points maintain current value] option
is checked, the I/O modules continue the ON/OFF output status at the moment that
the error occurred.
For the modules with Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked, the modules
become to output OFF signals at the moment that the error occurred.

Manipulating Status Output of I/O Module


The status output signals of a status type I/O module can be manipulated in the following
styles.
Latched type output
Non-latched type output
Pulse type output
Flashing type output

Latched Type Output


Latched type outputs retain the current output status until an ON or OFF action command
is performed.
This type is unique to the sequence table block.
When the action signal field of the sequence table is entered as a latched type, the output
becomes ON when the condition of the rule where the Y pattern is specified becomes true.
The output remains ON even if the condition is no longer true. It will switch to OFF when the
rule for which the N pattern is specified becomes true.

IMPORTANT
This syntax is suitable for the sequence table with processing timing of [Output Only when
Conditions Change]. If using the sequence table with processing timing of [Output Each
Time Conditions are Satisfied], the following points need to be dealt with.
When condition is established on the sequence table with processing timing of [Output
Each Time Conditions are Satisfied], the sequence table will send an ON signal to the
output module every scan cycle as long as the condition is True. This will keep the output
ON all the time. To avoid this, it is recommended to introduce an additional signal in the
condition rule to mask the condition after the True condition establishes for one scan cycle.

Pulse Contact Output : LFCS2/LFCS


Pulse output means the contact output will switch to ON for only one second when the
logical computation result is True.
To implement the pulse output on LFCS2/LFCS, it is necessary to configure the output
points [Point Mode] on the builder of I/O modules (ADM55R, ADM51T, ADM51C, ADM52T,
ADM52C) to [Pulse Type Output (PO)] mode.
When LFCS2/LFCS gives an pulse output, the syntax for latched or non-latched output
action can be used in sequence table block and the syntax for non-latched output action
can be used in logic chart block and in the blocks whose terminals designated for sequence
connection. For the output terminals whose [Point Mode] is [Pulse Type Output], only the
ON action of the latched and non-latched syntax take effect. When an ON action command
given from function block to an output point on the output module, if the point mode is Pulse
Type, the output point will be turned ON for only one second then turned OFF.

Dual Redundant Control I/O : PFCS/LFCS2/LFCS/SFCS


Dual

The dual redundant can be specified Enable/Disable in the IOM Builder.


When [Dual] is checked, dual-redundancy is enabled. By default, [Dual] is not checked.
The dual redundant can be designated to the current output module AAM51 or AAM50,
only for the odd numbered IOM. The IOM is called duplex source.
If the Dual redundant is defined to the IOM, the signal of the duplex source will be copied to
its corresponding duplex destination. Once the signal is copied, definition change on the
duplex destination IOM become impossible.
The table below shows the relationship between terminal numbers of duplex source IOMs
and destination IOMs.

If the entries in the fields (e.g., Range Low/High Limit, Dual Redundant) except for the
Signal field for a duplex source IOM are changed, the changes will also reflect on the
corresponding duplex destination IOM. If the dual redundant for a duplex source IOM is set
to Disabled, setting of the corresponding duplex destination IOM will be possible.
If the entry in the Signal field for a duplex source IOM is changed or duplex source IOM
itself is deleted, the record for the corresponding duplex destination IOM will be deleted too.

Fallback (FBEN) FIO Analog Input/Output : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


Fallback Specification, Fallback Maintain Current Value

Whether or not the operation of the fallback function is performed is set in the I/O module
properties. [Fallback Specification] check box is available on IOM builder.
By default, this check box is checked. If the modules are in dual-redundant configuration,
[Fallback Specification] can not be unchecked.
If [Fallback Specification] has been checked, either Maintain Current Value or Output can be specified for each terminal with IOM Builder.
If [Fallback Specification] has not been checked, the current value is retained when an
abnormality occurs in the processor unit or in the interface with the processor unit.
However, even if the processor unit or the interface with the processor unit recovers to
the normal state, the occurrence of that error will not be notified.
If [Fallback Specification] has been checked in the I/O module properties, the fallback
output operation setting is available on the details setting dialog of IOM Builder.
Specify either Maintain Current Value or Output. The default is Maintain Current Value.
The FBEN can only be set for the signals (terminals) of the following I/O modules:

Point Mode FIO Contact Input/Output : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


Mode

The operation mode for each terminal is set with IOM Builder.
The selection list of the point modes varies depending on the I/O module type.
If the point mode is set for an odd-numbered point terminal in a pulse width output module,
a status/pulse width output module, or a status/pulse width output module, the point mode
for an even-numbered point terminal (in which 1 has been added to an odd-numbered
point) will automatically be set to the same value. If the point mode is set for an evennumbered point terminal, the point mode for an odd-numbered point terminal (in which 1 is
subtracted from an even-numbered point) will automatically be set to the same value.
For example, if the point mode for %Z011101 is set to PW, the point mode for %Z011102
will automatically be switched to PW as well.

Mixing PW and TP : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


For the I/O modules showing PW and TP in the selection list, either PW or TP can be set for
each terminal. However, if PW or TP is set for an odd-numbered point terminal, the point
mode for an even-numbered point terminal (in which 1 is added to an odd-numbered point)
will automatically be set to the same value as well. If PW or TP is set for an even-numbered
point terminal, the point mode of an odd-numbered point terminal (in which 1 is subtracted
from an even-numbered point) will automatically be set to the same value as well.

Mixing SO, PW and TP : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


For the I/O modules showing SO, PW and TP in the selection list, either SO, PW or TP can
be set for each terminal. However, the following conditions must be satisfied:
If PW is set for an odd-numbered point terminal, the point mode for an even-numbered point terminal (in which 1 is added to an odd-numbered point) will automatically
be set to PW as well.
If either SO or TP is set to an odd-numbered point terminal, the point mode for an
even-numbered point terminal (in which 1 is added to an odd-numbered point) can
only be defined as either SO or TP. If PW is defined, an error will occur.
SO is set as the time-proportioning ON/OFF mode in which the time-proportioning
ON/OFF pulse cycle (PP) is 8ms in a database.

Parameter:
No

Yes
When the output is OFF, no Low-level current flows and lead breakage check becomes inactive.
This setting (LBMODE) is valid only for the following I/O module.
16-Channel Status Output (ASD533-S)
TIP
If the lead breakage check and short circuit check are active, and when the breakage or the short circuit
occurs, the I/O signals are processed as follows.

When lead breakage or short circuit occurs, the I/O module holds the previous good values until the I/
O module recovers from the errors.

When lead breakage or short circuit occurs, the data status of the I/O module is the same as the
other error occurs (BAD, NRDY, PFAIL, LPFL).

When the function blocks with the features of receiving I/O module status signals such as switch
instruments and motor control blocks are connected to the I/O module, the IOP and OOP may be
indicated when the lead breakage or short circuit occurs in the connected I/O module. At the same
time, the function block falls back to manual mode. (If the function blocks are not directly connected
to the I/O module but using the sequence table to check the ON/OFF status of the module, the
function block cannot receive the error occurrence signals.)

If multiple channels of an input module are applied, when error occurs on one channels, the data
status of all channels are affected.

If multiple channels of an output module are applied, when error occurs on one channel, the outputs
of all channels are affected.

When creating the application program to monitor the data status of each signal channel, do the follows.

Use the function blocks with the features of receiving I/O module status signals such as switch
instruments and motor control blocks are connected to the I/O module, the I/O module error status
can be indicated by IOP and OOP alarms.

Use sequence control blocks such as sequence table blocks to check the I/O module status signals.

A4. Software Inputs/Outputs


Just like process inputs/outputs, software inputs/outputs can be referred to or set
from a function block or other application function.

Software Inputs/Outputs
Software inputs/outputs are virtual inputs/outputs that are provided by the FCSs internal
software.
Two types of software inputs/outputs are available: an internal switch, which is used to
exchange logical values between function blocks or other application functions; and a
message output, which is used to inform the occurrence of an event.
The organizational structure of software inputs/outputs is as shown below.

A4.1 Common Switch


Common switches are internal switches used by various control functions to save
the shared logical values in an FCS.

Common Switches
Common switches are internal switches used by the various control functions of an FCS to
exchange logical values between the functions.
The logical value of common switch does not directly output to outside FCS. They are used
by various control functions in FCS for the condition testing and status manipulation.
Common switches with element number %SW0001 to %SW0200 are fixed as system
switches. They are used to indicate the different status of the FCS. Only a few of the
switches can be defined by users.
Common switches in the CS 1000 with element number %SW0201 to %SW1000 may be
freely defined by users.

Common Switches
Increase Number of System Common Switches

Common switches are internal switches used by various control functions to save the
shared logical values in an FCS.
The logical value of a common switch is not directly output to an external FCS, but are used
by various control functions in an FCS for condition testing and status manipulation.
Common switches with element number %SW0001 to %SW0400 are fixed as system
switches. However, if the number of system common switches is not increased, the element numbers of the system common switches are from %SW0001 to %SW0200 (*1).
They are used to indicate the different statuses of the FCS. Only a few of switches can be
defined by users.
Common switches in the CS 3000 with element number %SW0401 to %SW4000 (If the
number of system common switches is not increased, %SW0201 to %SW4000) may be
freely defined by users.
*1:

The number of system common switches of SFCS is fixed between %SW0001 and %SW0200. The user-difinable
common switches are from %SW0201 to %SW4000.
The number of system common switches of PFCS is fixed between %SW0001 and %SW0200. The user -difinable
common switches are from %SW0201 to %SW1000.

Changing the number of system common switches can be performed on FCS properties

below.

Condition Testing
When common switch ON/OFF status is applied as a condition test signal to a sequence
table block and logic chart block or to a designated function block in sequence connection
via its signal input terminal, the testing of the condition establishment is referred to as
common switch condition testing.

Either ON or OFF must be specified.

Status Manipulation
When common switch ON/OFF status is applied as a manipulated signal from a sequence
table block and logic chart block or from a designated function block in sequence connection via its signal output terminal, the common switch status reflecting the manipulated
signal status is referred to as common switch status manipulation.
Two types of manipulation signal outputs are available: a latched type and a non-latched
type.

Station Start ID Switches


Common-switch element numbers %SW0001 to %SW0007 are reserved as station start ID
switches. They are triggered when the FCS starts and retain the information stored in the
FCS.
For the common switches %SW0004 to %SW0006, part of the station start ID switch
elements, the definition of each switches during the FCS station start may be redefined in
the course of user-defined initialization process.
For instance, the sequence control function may use common switches %SW0004 and
%SW0005 to simulate the FCS initialization upon cold boot or restart (i.e., warm boot). The
sequence control function performs initialization by setting %SW0004 on and %SW0005
off. In other cases, it may just perform a restart.
Common switches %SW0001 to %SW0003 must be turned off after the system starts.
The status of each station start ID switch upon FCS startup is shown below.

The system common switch (element number: %SW0031) is used to define the extension
common switch (*1). The extension means that the switch elements from %SW0097 to
%SW0200 may be used to reflect the system status listed in the table of system common
switches. When %SW0031 is set to 1, the switches %SW0097 to %SW0200 reflect the
corresponding system status; when %SW0031 is set to 0, the switches do not reflect the
corresponding system status.
The default value of the extension common switch is 0.

A4.2 Global Switch


A global switch is an internal switch with the same logical value on all stations in the
same domain.

What is Global Switch?


The value of global switch assigned to the present station can be checked and defined from
any application on a station. Up to 256 write-enable global switches can be assigned to
each station. The defined value is broadcasted to each station in the system via control bus
scan transmission when data transfer to other stations is defined at Scan Transmission
Definition on the FCS Constants Builder.
When the values of global switches under the control of other stations are sent via scan
transmission, the global switch on the present station is updated when data receipt is
defined at Scan Transmission Definition on the FCS Constants Builder. FCS can receive
the data of ProSafe-RS SCS as global switches, since SCS also provides scan transmission features. The values of global switches under the control of other stations can be
checked. The values of global switches are updated at the same time mostly on all stations
in the system. The values are updated by 100 msec, which is fixed. With this function,
status information can be transferred from one station to the control function of another
station with very little delay.

To transfer/receive the values of global switches between stations, define the following
scan transmission definitions on the FCS Constants Builder.
TIP
In CS 1000, the global switches are applicable only in enhanced type PFCS.
The global switches are applicable in all CS 3000 FCSs except standard type FCS.

Present Station Definition


Self Station

Define the communication buffer size to transfer the values of global switches assigned to
the present station to other stations.
Present station buffer size:
Define 32 (bytes) to transfer the values, or 0 not to transfer them.
The default is 0.

Station Definition
Station

Define whether to receive the values of global switches under the control of other stations if
transferred. You can also define whether to receive from SCS with the same procedure.
However, the number of global switches of SCS that can be referred is up to 128.
Station definition type:
Choose 0: Not communicate, or 1: Individual Station Communication.
The default is 0.
When you choose Individual Station Communication, define the communication buffer
size to receive data from its station every sender.
Individual Station Definition:
Define 32 (bytes) (same value as the buffer size of the present station defined at the
sending station) to receive data, or 0 not to receive data.

IMPORTANT
When you duplicated an FCS on System View, redefine Station Definition of Scan
Transmission Definitions.
If the value smaller than 32 bytes is defined for the buffer size of the present station,
global switches will not work.

Global Switch Condition Testing and Status Operation


The specified formats of condition testing and status operation for global switches are
described below.
TIP
In CS 1000, the global switches are applicable only in enhanced type PFCS.
The global switches are applicable in all CS 3000 FCSs except standard type FCS.

Condition Testing
Condition testing for global switches is to test whether conditions are satisfied: The ON/OFF
state or data status of global switches are tested as conditional signals of sequence table
blocks and logic chart block or function blocks for which sequence connection is specified
to its input terminals. The following formats must be used for condition testing for global
switches:
%GSnnnmm.PV.ON/OFF

Test the ON/OFF state.

%GSnnnmm.PV=BAD

Test whether the data status is BAD.

Where
nnn:
mm:
ON/OFF:

Element number
Station number (may be omitted if it is the present station).
Specify ON or OFF.

Status Operation
Status operation for global switches is to change the ON/OFF state of global switches by
action signals from sequence blocks and logic chart block or function blocks for which
sequence connection is specified to its output terminals. Status operation is applicable to
global switches of present station only.
There are two output types of action signals for global switches: latched type and nonlatched type.
The following formats must be used for status operation of global switches:
%GSnnn.PV.H or %GSnnn.PV.L

A4.3 Annunciator Message Output (%AN)


The HIS annunciator function simulates the annunciator instrument panel. This
function informs the HIS of the occurrence or recovery of an alarm message.
SEE ALSO
An annunciator message can be indicated together with its related process data. For more information
about this kind of annunciator, see the following:
A4.5, Annnunciator Message with Data

Annunciator Message Output (%AN)


These special message outputs are used to simulate the annunciator panels of the instrument panels. Unlike other message outputs, annunciator message outputs store alarmoccurrence statuses as logical values.
When the alarm occurrence status changes, the annunciator message informs the HIS of
the occurrence or recovery of the message. When an alarm occurs, the alarm symbol will

it has been acknowledged.
Annunciator message outputs are processed at the basic scan cycles only.

<A4.3 Annunciator Message Output (%AN)>

Change of State of Annunciator Message


Annunciator message outputs principally have the following two status types.
Alarm present state (PV)
An abnormal condition specified in the sequence control function is currently occurring
in the system. The alarm state is reset when the condition returns to normal.
Flashing state (AFLS)
This prompts the operator to acknowledge the alarm.
It is possible to define the alarm priority level for each annunciator message output. The
change in state of annunciator message outputs varies according to their particular alarm
priority level.
The relationship between alarm priority levels and state changes is as follows.
High-and medium-priority alarms: Lock type state change
Low-priority alarms:

Non-lock type state change

Logging alarms:

Self-acknowledging type state change

Alarm priority levels and state changes of annunciator message output are shown below.

Annunciator Message Output Operation


Annunciator message output check the alarm occurrence at each basic scan.
If the current scan gathers a different status of alarm occurrence from the last scan, the
annunciator generates an output message.
The annunciator messages triggered by changes in the alarm occurrence are as follows.
When an alarm message is generated
The tag name specified in the Annunciator Builder appears with the a mark as below.

When a recovery message is generated


The tag name specified in the Annunciator Builder appears with the a mark as below.

Furthermore, if the alarm priority level is higher than low-priority (i.e., medium or high), the
alarm symbol will flash. The tag mark where the alarm is initiated will also flash to prompt
the operator for acknowledgment operation.

Condition Testing and Status Manipulation for Annunciator Message


Outputs
The syntax form for annunciator message condition testing and status manipulation is
shown below.

Condition Testing
When annunciator message ON/OFF status is applied as a condition test signal to a
sequence table block and logic chart block or to a designated function block in sequence
connection via its signal input terminal, the testing of the condition establishment is referred
to as annunciator message condition testing.
The syntax form for condition testing is shown below.

Element number
Either ON or OFF must be specified.

Status Manipulation
When annunciator message ON/OFF status is applied as a manipulated signal from a
sequence table block and logic chart block or from a designated function block in sequence
connection via its signal output terminal, the annunciator message status reflecting the
manipulated signal status is referred to as annunciator message status manipulation. Two
types of condition signal outputs are available: a latched type and a non-latched type.

Repeated Warning Function for Annunciator Message Outputs


The repeated warning function for annunciator message output is provided to output the
message again if the alarm condition still exists after the operators acknowledgment. If the
alarm condition remains, this function will be reactivated and make the alarm symbol flash
as a prompt to the operator to acknowledge the alarm again.
The two types of repeated warning functions available are:
Timer-repeated warning
Event-repeated warning

Timer Repeated Warning


This function gives a warning alarm at each repeated warning alarm cycle.
When an alarm occurs, the internal timer for setting the repeat warning interval starts. If the
cause of the alarm still exists when the timer becomes high, the annunciator message will
be output again making the alarm symbol flash. At the same time, the timer will be reset
and restarted.
When the alarm condition clears, the internal timer will be stopped and the repeated warning function deactivated.
Timer-repeated warnings can be used only by annunciator message outputs defined as
high-priority alarms. The repeated warning interval time span may defined on the FCS
Constants Builder.
Repeated warning alarm cycle:
0 to 3600 seconds
When 0 is set, the repeated warning function is deactivated.
The default setting:
600 seconds
The repeated warning alarm cycle is the internal time common to the whole control station.
It applies to all designated alarms in the FCS; it cannot be individually defined for each
annunciator message output.

A sequence message is used to pass the occurred event to the operator or to other
applications.
The following types of sequence messages are available.
Print message output
Operator guide message output
Multimedia start message output
Sequence message request
Supervisory computer event message
Supervisory computer event message output for PICOT

Action of Sequence Message


The sequence message is a general term given to the output of messages from the sequence output terminal.
The sequence message used in the sequence control may be output from sequence
control blocks, or from the output terminals of the function blocks in sequence connection.
The sequence message output operation of the each function block is explained below.
If the messages are output from the sequence table blocks set as Output Each Time
Conditions are Satisfied types (ST16, ST16E), the messages may be output at every
scan period once the condition is established.
For blocks such as ST16 and ST16E, whose output timing is defined as an Output
Only When Conditions Change type, a message is output only when the condition in
the sequence table changes from false to true. The message is not output again if the
true condition continues.
For all function blocks other than ST16 and ST16E blocks, when output message by
the sequence connection, the message will be output periodically at each start period
of the function block when the logic calculation result becomes true.

A4.5 Annunciator Message with Data


Annunciator message with data means an annunciator message can be output with
a process datum.

Features of Annunciator Message with Data


To output an annunciator message with data can be done by out a combination of annunciator message (%AN) and a printout message (%PR) together. In this case, when the
annunciator (%AN) is initiated, the message defined for Print Message (%PR) will be
displayed instead of the message defined for the %AN.
The annunciator message with data has the following features:
When the status of the annunciator (%AN) changes, the message of the corresponding Printout Message (%PR) not the message defined for the annunciator will be
output.
On Printout Message Builder, the message for printing can be defined, up to 3 process data can be attached to the message with defined format.
On the historical message window, the message text defined on Printout Message
Builder will be output and appended with the following character strings to indicate the
alarm attribute:
Alarm occurred: ALM
Alarm recovered: NR
Alarm repeated: Still
On the process alarm window, (!) mark will be used instead of Still character string.
The message defined for the annunciator element (%AN) of the annunciator message
with data on the Annunciator Builder will be displayed as the comment text on the
tuning window, process report window, and other status display windows. For printing
out, the messages defined on the Printout Message Builder will be output.
The actions such as repeated warning, locked, no-locked alarms for the annunciator
will be determined by the alarm processing level set to the annunciator.
When sending an annunciator message with data by a sequence connection, only the
number of the annunciator (%AN) needs to be designated, there is no need to designate the printout message (%PR) number.
A printout message may output an integer constant, but the integer constant can not
be output when the printout message is bound to an annunciator for message printout.

B1. Error Detection


Error detection operation refers to actions to detect errors (Faults) in hardware or
software and to prevent side effects wherever possible.
The following section explains the error detection actions.

Error Detection
FCS detects the following errors.

Hardware Error Detection


Errors occurred within FCS are detected by monitoring the actions of various FCS hardware at their start and on a periodical basis.

System Software Error Detection


Errors in system software are detected by monitoring the operations of the system software
in FCS.

B1.1 Hardware Error Detection


FCS detects errors occurred within the system by monitoring the operation of each
internal FCS. hardware at their start and on a periodical basis.
When an error is detected, FCS executes the automatic repair, mask or reset-start
operation wherever possible.
Hardware error detection includes the monitoring of operations of the control bus
Interface and detection of temporary errors.

Monitoring of Hardware Operations


FCS monitors hardware operations.
For hardware used during normal operation, self-diagnosis is performed at hardware
start to check if the system is operating normally.
For hardware not used during normal operation, self-diagnosis is performed on a
periodical basis to check if the system is operating normally.

Monitoring of CPU Operations


When an error action of software is caused by hardware abnormality, this may be considered as a temporary CPU failure, it is recommended to restart the CPU once.

Monitoring of Control Bus Interface Operations


When any of the following events occurs during normal operation, CPU assumes that a
control bus error has occurred. CPU is restarted just once if it occurs during dual-redundancy operation. Control bus interface is reset if it occurs during single operation.
Control bus interface internal error
Cable or coupler error
Internal loopback error
Validity error in access to shared memory for CPU and control bus interface
No response from the communication destination control bus interface within 4 seconds during communication in the same domain

Detection of Momentary Errors


The FCS detects momentary errors of the hardware indicated below:

Automatic correction for bit error


When 1 bit becomes error in the data in the main memory, the error may be automatically
corrected. If there are two or more bits become error, it will only detect the error but no
correction.

Detection of a bus error


By assigning a parity bit to the data on the data bus, the user is notified of a bus error when
a bit error occurs.

Data protection
The data area is divided into write-allowed and write-protected areas so that the data in the
write-protected area will not be destroyed by an operation error. Also, protection violations
are detected.

Processing retry
When an error is generated during control bus communication, process I/O communication, etc., retries are performed.

<B1.2 System Software Error Detection>

B1-6

B1.2 System Software Error Detection


FCS detects errors by monitoring the system software operation on FCS. The monitoring methods include Monitoring by WDT and Task operation monitoring.

Monitoring by WDT
FCS resets WDT (Watch Dog Timer) at periodical check when the control program is
operating normally. If WDT is not reset for 2 seconds, FCS will reset-starts CPU, assuming
that the control program is not functioning properly.

Task Operation Monitoring


FCS constantly monitors all tasks to see if they are operating normally. If any of the necessary tasks to carry on controlling stops abnormally, FCS terminates immediately.

<B2. Start Operations>

B2-1

B2. Start Operations


When a user start up a field control station, or when restart a part of components in
the FCS due to power failure or other abnormalities, the FCS and the parts in the
FCS are performing a procedure of Start Operations. In this chapter, the start operations are explained.

Outline of Start Operation


The start operations of FCS consist of the followings.

FCS Start Operation


FCS start operation indicates a process during the FCS changes from Stop State to running state. When a user turns the power of FCS on, or when an FCS restarts after a power
failure, the FCS performs [Initial Cold Start] or [Restart] start operation.
The start operation that an FCS to perform varies with the start conditions, power failure
time, the settings for start condition on FCS builder and so on.

Start Operation of I/O Modules : PFSC/SFCS


For PFCS and SFSC, when the station is recovered from power failure, the communication
between function blocks and input and output units (all I/O units and I/O modules) is reestablished by the Initial Cold Start, a start operation explained above. When I/O modules
recovered from errors or restarted after maintenance, the communication to function blocks
re-establishes. The re-establishment of communication between I/O modules and function
blocks are referred to as Start Operation of I/O Modules.
Thus when an I/O module recovers from errors or restarts after maintenance, the I/O
module initial start is performed.

Start Operation of Nodes : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


For KFCS2, KFCS or FFCS, when abnormalities occurred in local nodes or remote nodes,
the I/O signals communicated via the nodes fails. Only when the nodes recover from the
abnormalities, the communication with I/O modules can be re-established. The re-establishment of communication via nodes is referred to as Start Operation of Nodes. Thus when
the nodes recover from the abnormalities, Node Initial Start or Node Restart is performed
determined by the elapsed time of communication failure.

Start Operation of I/O Units : LFCS2/LFCS


For LFCS2 or LFCS, when abnormalities occurred in I/O units, the I/O signals communicated via the I/O units fails. Only when the I/O units recover from the abnormalities, the
communication with I/O units can be re-established. The re-establishment of communication with I/O units is referred to as Start Operation of I/O Units. Thus when the I/O units
recover from the abnormalities, I/O Unit Initial Start or I/O Unit Restart is performed determined by the elapsed time of I/O units failure and the settings of [Start Mode].

Start Operation of I/O Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS/LFCS2/LFCS


For KFCS2, KFCS, FFCS, LFCS2 or LFCS, when I/O modules recover from the abnormalities, the communication between function blocks and I/O modules can be re-established.
The re-establishment of communication with I/O modules is referred to as Start Operation
of I/O Modules. Thus when the I/O modules recover from the abnormalities, I/O Module
Initial Start is performed.

B2.1 FCS Start Operation


FCS start operation refers to all the actions performed through the process of
FCSs changing its status from operation stop status to normal operation status.
It includes Initial cold start and Restart. Which operation to be performed is
determined by Cause of start, Start condition, and Power failure time and
Momentary Power Failure tolerant time.

B2.1.1 Selection of Start Operation


Execution of either Initial cold start or Restart is determined by Cause of start,
Start condition, or Power failure time and momentary power failure tolerant time.

FCS State before Start Operation


The FCS state before start operation is Stop State. In this state, the operation of FCS is
not running. The Stop State of FCS includes the following two situations.

Power Shutoff
This is a state that FCS power is off and all the FCS functions are stopped.
In power shutoff status, unless the memory is volatilized, the start operation is automatically
executed when the power is turned on, and the system will change to normal operation
state.

Station STOP
This is a state that all application programs including the control functions are halted although FCS power is on.
In station stop state, the start operation is executed by CPU START. For example, when the
RUN command is received from HIS (to be more specific, from the HIS control station
status display window), FCS will change to normal operation state, resetting the current
operation state.
TIP
During memory image loading (off-line loading), the status of FCS is regarded as a station STOP status.
During this operation, FCS CPU is used for loading operation while all applications are halted.

Cause of Start
The FCSs cause of start includes Power on and CPU START.

Power on
This is to turn on the power to PFCS.

CPU START
This is to start the operation of PFCS, which is in a station STOP status, using a method
other than Power on.
There are three methods of CPU START as described below.
Completion of off-line loading to FCS
FCS START command received from HIS
Start operation triggered from FCS control panel

User Defined Initialization Processing for Initial Cold Start


User defined initialization processing is executed based on the users definition. The user
can define the contents of initialization using the function block for initialization processing.
The initialization processing will not be executed unless the user definition initialization
processing is specified.
The function block for initialization processing is executed only once when FCS performs
the start operation. There are two types of function blocks for initialization processing.
Startup at Initial Cold Start/Restart (I type)
Restricted Initial Execution Type (B type)
In order to define the contents of user definition initialization processing, describe the
processing to be executed at start, on either I type or B type sequence table and logic
chart.

Internal Switch for Start Operation Identification


The I-type initialization processing function block is executed using either initial cold start or
restart. However, by referencing the internal switch for the identification of the start operation, the processing type can be distinguished.
For example, when recovering from prolonged power failure (timer specified, FCS power
failure timeT, Momentary Power Failure Tolerant Time), %SW0001 and %SW0004 are
turned on. When recovering from momentary power failure (time specified, FCU power
failure time < T, Momentary Power Failure Tolerant Time), %SW0002 and %SW0005 are
turned on.
By referencing which internal switch for identification of the start operation is being turned
on, it can be identified from which state the FCS is about to change to its normal state.
Consequently, the type of initialization processing to be performed can be specified in the
initialization sequence table and initialization logic chart by referencing this switch.

Example of User Definition Initialization Processing


Lets assume a recovery start operation timer (TIME) is specified, and that there are two
requirements for when the system recovers from a prolonged power failure (%SW0001 and
%SW0004 being turned on): to stop all the software counters and reset all the requests
involving the use of any resource scheduler, and to restart execution of the sequence table
step from the current step. To specify these, set the initialization sequence table as shown
below.

Figure Example of User Definition Initialization Processing Description

Windup Operation
Wind Up Time

Windup operation is a preparatory processing for organizing time-series data that are
required for control operations. The function blocks input processing, control processing,
calculation processing and alarm processing executed during windup operation are executed in the same manner as in normal operation. All output signal processing, except for
the one that outputs control output signals to the process output terminal, are executed in
the same manner as in normal operation.
Sequence table blocks and logic chart blocks dont operate while windup operation is
running.
The windup operation time can be set on the FCS Constant Builder.

If an initial type sequence table referencing a status input signal via a local node, the status input signal will be
accessed again by the sequence table after Restart.
If an initial type sequence table referencing a status input signal via a remote node, the status input signal may not be
able to be accessed by the sequence table after Restart. So that, do not use the status input from the remote node as
user defined initialization processing signal.
For the input signals from the remote nodes, the FCU holds the previous values until the FCU completes reading the
new data.
For the data from fieldbus I/O and sub-system communication I/O, FCU holds the previous data values until the whole
data are acquired after restart.

B2.2 Start Operation of PFCS and SFCS I/O Modules


Start operation for I/O module includes Initial Cold Start (MAN) and Restart (AUT).

Initial Cold Start for I/O Module : PFCS/SFCS


Initial cold start for I/O module is started with the value the I/O module actually inputs/
outputs at operation start. Initial cold start is executed for recovery from prolonged power
failure, power disconnection for maintenance or termination of transmission due to transient failure.

Input Operation : PFCS/SFCS


After initial cold start, the read data are set to 0 until the I/O module is started to allow data
to be obtained by communication. The data status becomes NRDY.

Output Operation : PFCS/SFCS

At the completion of maintenance or power recovery, output is started from tight shut status
for analog output or from OFF status for contact output. For recovery from termination of
transmission due to transient failure, output is started with the actual output value of I/O
module immediately before recovery.

Restart for I/O Module :PFCS/SFCS


Restart for I/O module is a start operation in which output operation is started by matching
the output value with the output value immediately before power lost. Restart is executed at
recovery from momentary power failure.

Input Operation :PFCS/SFCS


After recovery from momentary power failure, the input data before the failure are stored
until I/O module is restarted. However, the data status is NRDY.

B2.3 Start Operation of KFCS2, KFCS and FFCS


Nodes
Two types of start operationinitial cold start (MAN) and restart (AUT)are available
for the nodes (local node and remote node).

Start Operation of the Nodes : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


Node Momentary Power Failure Tolerant Time

Two types of start operationinitial cold start and restartare available for the nodes
(local node and remote node). These two types of start operation are executed when a
node that is not responding is recovered after the occurrence of an error. The type of start
operation to be executed is determined by the duration the node does not respond.
When the following node errors occur, the nodes are placed in the no-response state.
Single power failure of either local node or remote node
Breakdown of the nodes at both sides of dual-redundant SB401 or EB501
Disconnection of transmission of the nodes at both sides of the extended serial
backboard bus (ESB bus)
TIP
Node start operation does not take place in case of system power failure (simultaneous power failure of
both the FCU and node) even when a power failure occurs in a node. The operation relative to system
power failure will be performed.

When the no-response time of the node is longer than the node momentary power failure
tolerant time, it is called prolonged node power failure. The initial cold start operation of the
node is executed when the node is recovered from the prolonged node power failure.
When the no-response time of the node is shorter than the node momentary power failure
tolerant time, it is called momentary node power failure. The restart operation of the node
is executed when the node is recovered from a momentary node power failure.
The node momentary power failure tolerant time is set using the FCS Constants Builder. It
can be set in the range between 0 and 4 seconds. If 0 is set, the start operation of the node
is always set to the initial cold start. The default value is 2 seconds.
TIP
When the node momentary power failure tolerant time is set as 2 seconds, and if the node power failure
elapsed for 2 scan cycles (two one-second scan cycles), the node is treated as prolonged power failure.
However, node momentary power failure is detected by each two seconds, the minimum tolerant time
varies between 2 to 4 seconds.

Initial Cold Start of the Node : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


The initial cold start operation of a node (local node or remote node) starts an output
operation with the value that is actually output by the output module in the node. This type
of start operation is used when the node recovers from disconnection of transmission
caused by transient problems as well as when the power to the node is recovered from a
prolonged power failure.
The output operation that is performed in the initial cold start operation of the node consists
of the following:
Starts output from the tight-shut state (analog output) or OFF state (contact output)
when restoring the power.
Starts output from the actual output value of PI/O just before a recovery from problem
when recovering from a transient problem.

Restart Operation of the Nodes : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


The restart operation of a node (local node or remote node) initiates an output operation
after restoring the output to the value that was output immediately before the failure by the
output module in the node. This type of start operation is used when recovering from a
momentary power failure.
The output operation that is performed in the restart operation of the node consists of the
following:
Starts output after restoring the output to the last output value that was saved just
before the power failure.
Although the output data in the output module is volatilized due to power failure, the
CPU on the FCU side restores the output of the output module to the last output value.

Start Operation when Recovering from a Standalone Power Failure of


the Remote Node : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
When the power to a remote node is recovered from the standalone power failure state, the
operation is performed in accordance with the Node Start Operation. However, it takes
some time from the power recovery of the remote node until an EB401 on a local node is
started.
The time it takes to start the EB401 is as follows:
When the duration of a power failure is within 16 seconds
It takes approximately 200 ms to start the EB401.
When the duration of a power failure exceeded 16 seconds
It may take approximately 4 seconds to start the EB401.
If a prolonged node power failure occurs due to a prolonged power failure of a remote
node, the function block that is connected to the terminal point of the I/O module on that
remote node will perform an MAN fallback after going through IOP or OOP.
If an EB401 startup took approximately 4 seconds in a subsequent recovery from a power
failure, the function block will recover from IOP or OOP within 4 to 6 seconds after the
power recovery.

Initial Cold Start of the I/O Unit : LFCS2/LFCS


The initial cold start operation of an I/O unit initiates an output operation with the value that
is actually output by the output module in the I/O unit. This type of start operation is used
when the I/O unit is disconnected for maintenance or recovering from disconnection of
transmission due to a transient problem as well as when the power is recovered from a
prolonged power failure.
The output operation that is performed in the restart operation of the I/O unit consists of the
following:
Starts output from the tight-shut state (analog output) or OFF state (contact output)
when the power is recovered upon completion of maintenance.
Starts output from the actual output value of PI/O immediately before the recovery of
the problem when recovering from a transient problem.

Restart Operation of the I/O Unit : LFCS2/LFCS


The restart operation of an I/O unit starts an output operation after restoring the output to
the value that was output immediately before the failure by the output module within the I/O
unit. This type of start operation is used when recovering from a momentary power failure.
The output operation that is performed in the restart operation of the I/O unit consists of the
following:
Starts output after restoring the output to the last output value that was saved just
before the power failure.
Although the output data in the output module is volatilized due to power failure, the
RIO bus interface card (RB301) independently restores the output of the output
module to the last output value.

This section describes system operation for each power failure mode.

System Operation at FCS Power Failure : PFCS/SFCS


FCS power failure is a state in which the FCS experiences power failure and recovery
from a power failure. At this time, the CPU and I/O module stop operating.
FCS power failure occurs when the FCS power supply fails or malfunctions.
As for the control operation of the FCS and the output operation of the I/O module, either
the initial cold start operation or restart operation will be performed, depending on the start
condition setting of the FCS and the duration of the power failure.

System Operation in Local Node Power Failure State :


KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The local node power failure state denotes a state in which only the power to a local node
goes off and then it is recovered. The operation continues in other local nodes in which a
power failure has not occurred, ESB bus communication, and a field control unit (FCU) at
this time.
An output fallback operation is performed in a remote node lower than the local node in
which a power failure has occurred, when the line loss detection time (4 seconds) has
elapsed from the power failure.
Furthermore, the FCU performs the following start operation for the Local node when the
power is recovered.
In case of prolonged node power failure: Initial cold start of the node
In case of momentary node power failure: Restart of the node
SEE ALSO
For details on the initial cold start operation and restart operation of the node, see the following:
B2.3, Start Operation of KFCS2, KFCS and FFCS Nodes

The local node power failure state occurs in cases where the power supply to a local node
fails or the breakdown of the power supply area of a local node occurs.
SEE ALSO
The fallback actions of the I/O modules in remote nodes at node power supply failure are the same as
the fallback actions at the FCU power failure. For more information about I/O module fallback actions,

System Operation in the Remote Node Standalone Power Failure State:


KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The remote node power failure state denotes a state in which only the power to a remote
node goes off and then it is recovered. The operation continues in local nodes, other
remote nodes in which a power failure has not occurred, ESB bus communication, ER bus
communication, and a field control unit (FCU) at this time.
The remote node power failure state occurs in cases where the power to a remote node
fails or the breakdown of the power supply area of a remote node occurs.
The system operation in the remote node power failure state is the same as that in the local
node power failure state. However, after the remote nodes power is recovered, it takes
some time before the EB401 of the local node higher than that remote node starts up.
SEE ALSO
For the time required for the EB401 to start up, see the following:

KFCS/FFCS in B2.3, Start Operation of KFCS2, KFCS and FFCS Nodes

System Operation at PI/O Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS


PI/O power failure is a state in which the process I/O area experiences a power failure
and recovery at an individual node. At this time, operation continues at the RIO bus communication, field control unit (FCU) and nodes other than the one experiencing a power
failure.
A power failure in PI/O alone occurs when a power failure occurs in the power supply for a
specific node or the power supply for the node interface unit (NIU) malfunctions.

Output Operation of Process I/O Module Area - PI/O Power Failure :

System Operation in FCU Power Failure State : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


The FCU power failure state indicates the FCU encounters power failure or just recovered
from the power failure. Under such state, for KFCS2/KFCS, the local node and the remote
node hold their previous operations. Since the power supply to the ESB interface card
(SB301) also failed, the communication between the I/O nodes and FCU through the ESB
bus will fail too.
For FFCS, though the modules in the expanded nodes (the local nodes and the remote
nodes) hold their previous operations; the I/O modules dierctly inserted in the slots of the
FCU and the ESB communication will fail.
In addition, the FCU performs either an initial cold start operation or restart operation when
the power is recovered, according to the start condition setting of the FCU and the duration
of the power failure.
SEE ALSO
For the initial cold start operation and restart operation of the FCU, see the following:
B2.1, FCS Start Operation

The FCU power failure state occurs when a power failure or breakdown occurs in the
power supply area of the FCU.

Output Operation of the Process I/O - FCU Power Failure :


KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
Since the power failure occurred only in FCU, thus all the I/O modules linked to the FCU
either in the local nodes or remote nodes may perform output fallback. However, for FFCS,
the I/O modules directly inserted in the FCU will fail.
The output fallback is an output action specified on the builder. The output module can
either hold the previous value or change to a specified value in accordance with the setting
on the builder.
The output fallback operation of the I/O module is set in the detailed settings of the IOM
Builder.

System Operation at FCU Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS


FCU power failure is a state in which an independent field control unit (FCU) experiences
a power failure and recovery. At this time, the operation of the process I/O area continues,
but operation will stop in the RIO bus interface card (RB301), for which power is supplied
from the FCU, and RIO bus communication.
In addition, the FCU performs either an initial cold start or restart of the FCS when the
power is recovered, according to the start condition setting of the FCS and the duration of
the power failure.
SEE ALSO
For the initial cold start operation and restart operation of the FCS, see the following:
B2.1, FCS Start Operation

FCU power failure occurs when power failure or malfunction occurs in the power supply
area of FCU.

Output Operation of Process I/O Area - FCU Power Failure :


LFCS2/LFCS
An output fallback operation is performed in all I/O modules linked to the FCU in the power
failure state while in an FCU power failure. The output fallback operation is a function that
maintains the current value of the output of an I/O module or forcibly changes it to the
specified value while an abnormality that affects the I/O module occurs.
The output fallback operation in I/O module area can be set in the detail setting on the IOM
Builder.
When check the [Set Fallback] item, it is required to check the option button for either

System Operation in the System Power Failure State :


KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The system power failure state denotes a state in which the power to both the process
control I/O area and the FCU goes off and then it is recovered almost at the same time. The
process control I/O area, ESB bus communication and all FCU functions stop. In addition, a
state in which each component operates independently exists at a moment of a power
failure and recovery.
Because the power failure time count of the local node or remote node does not include the
duration of an FCUs power failure, the system operation is determined by the duration of
the FCUs power failure even for the system power failure, in the same manner as for the
FCU power failure.
At the time of a power failure, the FCU performs FCS initial cold start operation or restart
operation according to the start condition setting of the FCS and the duration of the power
failure.
SEE ALSO
For the FCS initial cold start operation and restart operation, see the following:
B2.1, FCS Start Operation

The system power failure state occurs in cases such as a power failure of the entire instrument power supply.

IMPORTANT
If the time lag of a power failure and power recovery between the process I/O area and the
FCU is substantial, the momentary operation of power failure and power recovery will be
the same as the case when a local node power failure, a remote node power failure and an
FCU power failure have occurred separately.

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

When the power is recovered from a system power failure, an FCS initial cold start operation is executed in the FCU, and the I/O module is restarted in the process control I/O area.
Subsequently, output from the function block on the FCU side to the process I/O area is
initiated.
If a power failure has occurred in a remote node, it takes approximately 200 ms or 4 seconds, depending on the duration of the power failure, until the EB401 higher than that
remote node starts up after the power recovery.
SEE ALSO
For the output status of the I/O module from the restart of the I/O module to the start of output from the
FCU by FCU initial cold start, see the following:
B3.4, Common Operation of the I/O Module at Problem Occurrence

IMPORTANT
Data reference and data setting cannot be performed from the initialization sequence
table for the I/O module of a remote node. Data reference and data setting should be
performed after wind-up is complete, as needed.
If a remote node had a prolonged power failure, it takes approximately 5 seconds to
resume the communication between that remote node and the FCU. The FCU masks
(does not detect) any remote node abnormality for these 5 seconds. If there is a
remote node abnormality, it will be notified after approximately 5 seconds.
However, for a remote node that starts up faster than 5 seconds, an I/O operation is
initiated upon the remote node startup. On the contrary, for a remote node that starts
up slower than 5 seconds, the previous I/O value is retained, and the output value is
tracked by executing a wind-up IMAN operation after the remote node is started up.
If a system power failure occurred during a periodical inspection, etc., the startup time
of a remote node can be reduced to 200 ms by recovering the power to the remote
node side first.

duration of a node (local node or remote node) power failure while an FCU is being
stopped.
For instance, if the process I/O area (PI/O area) detects a power failure before the FCU
does, the power failure time (T1) of the PI/O area is measured as shown in the figure
below. This duration is treated as a node power failure time.

System Operation at System Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS


System power failure is a state in which both process I/O area and field control unit (FCU)
experience a power failure and recovery at nearly the same time. At this time, all functions
of process I/O area, RIO bus communication and FCU will stop. Further, there exists a
state in which each component operates independently when a power failure or recovery
occurs.
System power failure tends to occur when the power supply for the entire instrumentation
fails.

IMPORTANT
If the time lag of a power failure and power recovery between the process I/O area and the
FCU is substantial, the moment operation of power failure and power recovery will be the
same as the case when a PI/O power failure and an FCU power failure have occurred
separately.

Power Failure Time at System Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS


This section explains how to measure power failure time when system power failure occurs, using as an example of an analog output module directly connected to the PID controller block (PID) and PID block.
FCU can calculate actual power failure time elapsed at the time of power recovery by itself
based on the internal clock of RIO bus interface card (RB301). Also, at power failure in PI/O
alone, RB301 uses its own clock to measure the actual power failure time for PI/O. In the
case of system power failure, on the other hand, there may exist a case in which actual
power failure time of PI/O cannot be measured because FCU itself ceases to function.
To cope with this, PI/O power failure time (T) at system power failure is defined as follows:
T = T1 + T2 + T3
T1: Power failure time of FCU
T2: Power failure duration of PI/O before FCU power failure
T3: Power failure duration of PI/O after FCU power recovery

When FCS is in [Restart] startup mode, the function blocks connected to process I/O
restore to their previous block mode before the FCU alone had the power failure
regardless the elapsed time period of the power failure. However, when the power
failure occurred in the PI/O area alone, there is possibility that the function blocks can
not restore to their previous block mode.
SEE ALSO
For details on PI/O start action when power failure occurs in the PI/O area alone, see the following
previous section:
System Operation at PI/O Power Failure:LFCS2/LFCS

If the start operation (initial cold start/restart) at power recovery differs between the
PI/O and FCU areas, start operations from system power failure and from PI/O power
failure will also differ. Normally, the start modes for PI/O and FCU areas are set so that
the same start processingeither the initial cold start or restartwill be performed when
the power recovers. Upon completion of the FCS start operation, the operation of
individual function blocks can be adjusted via user definition initialization processing
(such as the initialization sequence table), which is executed prior to normal block
processing.
However, the initial output cannot be adjusted at this time, since the start operation for
the PI/O area is already complete. The FCS start operation can be recognized from
within the user definition initialization processing, but the PI/O start operation cannot.

System Operation at Termination of CPU Operation : PFCS/SFCS


Termination of CPU operation is a state in which the processor unit is energized but the
CPU stops due to failure or maintenance. At this time, operation continues in the I/O module area and VL net interface area.
The termination of CPU operation occurs when the CPU stops, when a CPU failure occurs
in a non-dual-redundant CPU system, or when both CPUs fail in a dual-redundant CPU
system.

Output Operation of I/O Module Area - Termination of CPU Operation :


PFCS/SFCS
The I/O module area performs output fallback when the termination of CPU operation
occurs. It resumes to output the real output value upon recovery from CPU operation
termination.
Output fallback will be performed four seconds after an error occurrence such as when I/O
module access is interrupted due to termination of CPU operation or when the resetting of
WDT is not detected due to CPU runaway.
If restart is set for the start operation of processor unit, output fallback will be canceled upon
recovery.
On the IOM Builder, I/O module fallback action may be defined.
When check the Set Fallback item, then it is required to check the option button for
either [Maintain Current Value] or [Output data].
When not check the [Set Fallback] item, the current value will be held.

System Operation at Termination of CPU Operation :


KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS/LFCS2/LFCS
Termination of CPU operation indicates that the CPU is not working though the power
supply to the CPU in the field control unit (FCU) is normal. Under this state, for KFCS2/
KFCS/FFCS, the ESB bus communication stops. For LFCS2/LFCS, the RIO bus communication continues.
Termination of CPU operation state occurs when CPU stops, when a CPU failure occurs in
a non-dual-redundant CPU system, or when both of the CPUs fail in a dual-redundant CPU
system.

Output Operation of the Process I/O - Termination of CPU Operation :


KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
When the CPU operation stop state occurs, all the I/O modules connected to the FCU
perform output fallback operation when the communication error tolerance time (4 seconds) has elapsed. For FFCS, the module directly inserted in the slots of the FCU will
preform the output fallback too.
In addition, the output of the process I/O area starts with the actual output value at the time
of recovery by performing an initial cold start of the FCS when recovering from the CPU
operation stop state.

System Operation at Processor Unit Control Right Transfer : PFCS/SFCS


Processor unit control right transfer is a state in which the control side CPU stops functioning and the standby CPU assumes control. Operation continues in the process I/O
before and after transfer of the control right occurs.
Processor unit control right transfer occurs when an error is detected in the self-diagnostics
of a processor unit having dual-redundant CPU.

System Operation at FCU Control Right Transfer :


KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS/LFCS2/LFCS
FCU control right transfer means the controlling CPU stops and the standby CPU takes
over. For KFCS2/KFCS, the SB301 (ESB bus interface card) modules are switching the
control right in accordance with the FCU control right transfer. However, the communication
with the process I/O modules will continue during the control right switching.
For FFCS, the communication with the process I/O modules continues during the FCU
control right switching.
For LFCS2/LFCS, the communication with the process I/O modules and the RIO bus
continues during the FCU control right switching.
FCU control right transfer occurs when an error is detected by the self-diagnostics of the
field control unit (FCU) with dual-redundant CPU.

System Operation at I/O Module Maintenance/Error : PFCS/LFCS2/LFCS/


SFCS
I/O module maintenance is a state in which the I/O module mounted on the process I/O
unit (IOU) is installed or removed while the power is on, in order to perform maintenance
operations. Whereas, the I/O module breakdown state denotes a state in which some kind
of breakdown has occurred in an I/O module mounted to an IOU. The subject maintenance/breakdown IOU will remain live and all modules other than the subject module
continue their operations.
Furthermore, the I/O module maintenance status occurs when replacing an I/O module.
The system operation that is performed when the I/O module is in the maintenance state or
breakdown state consists of the following:
I/O module output operation
For the output from an I/O module in which a breakdown has occurred, the output
value before the breakdown will be retained. However, no output will be performed for
a kind of breakdown that disables the output of the I/O module.
Initial cold start is performed for recovery from the maintenance/breakdown state of
the I/O module.

System Operation in the Local Node Communication Error State :


KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The local node communication error state is a state in which an error has occurred in the
communication between an FCU and a local node.
The communication error state with the local node occurs when the transmission of the
extended serial backboard bus (ESB bus) is disconnected, an interface card error occurs,
etc.
The system operation that is performed in the communication error state with the local
node consists of the following:
Process I/O output operation
The I/O module mounted to the local node in which a communication error has occurred as well as the I/O module of the remote node lower than that local node perform an output fallback operation during the occurrence of the communication error
state. In addition, the output of the process I/O is initiated by executing either an initial
cold start operation or restart operation of the node in the FCU when recovering from
the communication error state.
FCU control operation
The FCU performs an MAN fallback operation during the occurrence of the communication error state. In addition, when recovering from the communication error state,

System Operation in the Communication Error State with the Remote


Node : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
For KFCS2/KFCS, the communication error with the remote node means an error occurs in
the communication between a local node and a remote node.
For FFCS, it means an error may occur in the communication between a local node and a
remote node, or in the communication between an EB401 card that inserted in a slot of
FCU and a remote node.
The communication error with the remote node also means a poor connection exists in the
enhanced remote I/O bus (ER bus), or an interface card error, etc.
The system operation that is performed in the communication error state with the remote
node consists of the following:
Process I/O output operation
The I/O module mounted to the remote node in which a communication error has
occurred performs an output fallback operation during the occurrence of the communication error state. In addition, the output of the process control I/O area is initiated by
executing either an initial cold start operation or restart operation of the node in the
FCU when recovering from the communication error state.
FCU control operation
The FCU performs an MAN fallback operation during the occurrence of the communication error state. In addition, when recovering from the communication error state,

Node maintenance is a state in which one entire node is separated from the system in
order to perform maintenance operations. At this time, operation continues at RIO bus
communication, field control unit (FCU) and nodes other than the one subject to maintenance.
The node maintenance status occurs when replacing process I/O unit (IOU).
The output operations of process I/O area and control operation of FCU during node
maintenance status are the same as those during I/O module maintenance.

PI/O error is a state in which all or part of a node in the process I/O area fails. At this time,
operation continues at the field control unit (FCU), RIO bus communication and PI/O
components other than the one that has failed.
The PI/O error status occurs when RB401 or I/O module fails, when node internal bus fault
occurs or when installation or removal of I/O module is performed while the power is on.
The output operations of process I/O area and control operation of FCU at PI/O error are
the same as those during I/O module maintenance.

Operation of I/O Module when Off-Line Downloading is Performed :


PFCS/SFCS/LFCS2/LFCS
When off-line downloading is performed for FCS, the output status differs between the
output module that was subject to off-line downloading and the output module that was not.

Output Status of Output Module Subject to Off-Line Downloading :


PFCS/SFCS/LFCS2/LFCS
The table below shows the output status change of output module that was subject to offline downloading, for both downloadings with and without definition change.

To be more specific, AAM51 is reset to 0 mA (for electric current) after downloading is completed and 1.25 mA is output
after processor unit is rebooted.
Since the range of electric current is normally fixed to the range between 0 and 100 %, there will be no change in the
range or span. An example of change, if any, is shown below.
When the range is between 0 and 100 and the output value is 50, the output value for electric current changes from 12
mA (equivalent to 50 %) to 8 mA (equivalent to 25 %) if the range is changed to 0 to 200.
When the module action mode is PW (pulse-width), TP (time-proportioning) or PO (pulse output), the output will be
reset.

The output status change of I/O module caused by downloading actually occurs when
downloading of the definition information (configuration) to I/O module is completed.

Output Status of Output Module that was not Subject to Off-Line Downloading : PFCS/SFCS/LFCS2/LFCS
I/O module that was not subject to off-line downloading holds the output status prior to
downloading, if fallback is not specified. Fallback is performed if it is specified.

Operation of the I/O Module when Offline Download to the I/O Module is
Executed : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
When offline download is executed to an FCS, the definition information will be downloaded to all the I/O modules of that FCS. The following explains the output state in this
situation:
The FCU stops during the offline download to the FCS. All the I/O modules linked to
the FCU perform an output fallback operation while the FCU is being stopped.
The definition information is then downloaded to the I/O modules after the offline
download to the FCS is complete. The I/O modules retain the output values while this
download is being executed. However, the output values will change according to the
change in the output range or span, if applicable.

IMPORTANT
Be cautious that the following phenomenon may occur during offline downloading:
When start up the system and perform offline downloading (including the IOM downloading) after adding or replacing the analog voltage output module AAV542 or AAV544, OOP
alarm may occur though rarely.
To deal with this problem, do either of the followings:
Pull out the module and then put it back.
Run online downloading.

Operation of I/O Module when Online Downloading is Performed :


PFCS/SFCS/LFCS2/LFCS
This section explains the output status of output module and the status of function block
when I/O module definition is changed by downloading.

Output Status of Output Module : PFCS/SFCS/LFCS2/LFCS


When the change to I/O module definition information is made by online downloading, the
output status of output module will be the same as when offline downloading is performed.
Analog output module starts output operation after tracking I/O module output status upon
completion of definition information downloading. While for a digital output module, all
points of contact output may be set to OFF. However, when the digital output module's
specification code is set as -2 (for example ADM52C-2) and the output action mode is
status output (SO), the existing values before downloading may be held without being
reset. Actually, the contact output (DO) values on PI/O image in FCU are all reset to OFF
(0) unrelated to the specification code. After the downloading is completed, for the modules
with specification code -2, the IOM DO value tracking will be performed to restore the
previous values.

Status of Function Block : PFCS/SFCS/LFCS2/LFCS


IOM Online Updating

When download to an I/O module is executed, the setting item, IOP Occurs in Connected
Blocks can be used to specify whether or not the input side of the function block that is
connected to the I/O module is set to IOP.
If the input side is set to IOP, the data status of the measurement input will become bad
data (BAD) when download is executed.
The regulatory control block in which the data status became BAD performs the following
operation:
Stops the analog input square root extraction function, pulse train input conversion
function, digital filter function and totalizer function.
The PV value retains the value immediately before the input open (IOP) warning
generation caused by BAD detection. However, if the PV overshoot has been specified, the PV value will be overshot to the lower limit value.
A function block that has the MAN fallback function performs an MAN fallback operation. In this case, a connection failure alarm (CNF) will be generated at the same time
when the MAN fallback operation starts.
If it has been specified not to set the operation at IOM change to IOP, the data status of the
measurement input will not become bad data (BAD) when download is executed.
On [Constant] tab of FCS property sheet, set the operation at IOM change to IOP.
Check [IOP Occurs in Connected Blocks] check box. By default, this option is not checked.

IOM Online Updating

The IOM stops the I/O operation of all points of the I/O modules where the definition information has been changed. The I/O module in which the IOM initialization load is being
executed will be placed in an error state.
When download to an I/O module is executed, the setting item, IOP Occurs in Connected
Blocks can be used to specify whether or not the input side of the function block that is
connected to the I/O module is set to IOP.
If the input side is set to IOP, the data status of the measurement input will become bad
data (BAD) when download is executed. If the input side is not set to IOP, the function block
retains the previous value while the IOM initialization load is being executed.
On [Constant] tab of FCS property sheet, set the operation at IOM change to IOP. Check
[IOP Occurs in Connected Blocks] check box. By default, this option is not checked.

IMPORTANT
Be cautious that the following phenomena may occur during online maintenance.
When reverse the analog control I/O module output or when change the output range,
the output from the terminals subjected to the changes fluctuates for about 10 milliseconds, then stabilized at the changed output. For an example, when reverse a 4 to 20
mA output where the 4mA stands for 0%, the 0% output changes to 20mA after fluctuating for 10 milliseconds. For this reason, when reversing output or changing output
range, the necessary measures should be taken such as manipulating the final
operation element locally to prevent from the fluctuation caused form the output
terminals.
When reversing the I/O module input signal or changing the input range, the PV of the
terminals subject to the changes may fluctuate. Sometimes, IOP or OOP alarm may
occur.
When pulse setting of time-proportioning output of a contact I/O module is changed, it
takes a while for the new setting becomes valid so that the old setting continues. In
order to make the new setting become valid earlier, pullout the module and put it back
or download to the module on HIS status display window.
When change the contact time-proportioning output phasing time, the phasing may
not be correct. So that it is necessary to pull out the I/O module from its slot and put it
back again, or perform IOM load on HIS status display window.
When change the temperature unit or signal type for a thermocouple or a RTD I/O
module (AAT141, AAT145, AAR181 and AAR145) IOP or IOP- may repeatedly occurs
for a while.
If the following item of EB401 properties are changed, the I/O data of the I/O modules
connected via the dual-redundantly configured EB401 modules stop updating for
about five seconds after online downloading.

B4. Making FCS Dual-Redundant


The production control system has employed a redundancy system that makes each
section of the FCS dual-redundant. By making each part of the FCS dual-redundant,
high system reliability and operability can be achieved and highly reliable, accurate
data can be realized.
An FCS with dual-redundant configuration is called as FCD.

At the Control bus interface, a communication interface supporting dual-redundancy is


mounted on the CPU and connected to the dual-redundant control bus.
At the processor unit, control side and standby side CPUs synchronize each other to
perform the same control computation.
If an error occurs at the control side CPU, the synchronous execution hot standby
system will transfer the control right to the standby side CPU without interruption.
If an invalid access is detected against the main memory or the standby side in the
control side processor unit, processing on the control side will stop immediately and
the control right will be transferred to the standby side. This prevents the destruction of
data inside the local system, as well as at the destination site due to CPU malfunctions.
There is a WDT (Watch Dog Timer) in the processor unit to supervise the execution of
control function.
Whenever the abnormality in control function is detected, the control right is switched
from control side to the standby side, as if the abnormality is in the control side processor.
In the main memory, error-correction coding (ECC) function is provided so that the
transient bit inversion error in the main memory may be repaired.
The PI/O bus interface has the function to run the PI/O executions on control side and
to diagnostic the PI/O performance by itself. The same diagnostic function is also
running in standby side PI/O bus interface.
When an abnormality occurs in the control side PI/O bus, the control right is immediately switched to the standby side PI/O, thus the PI/O executions may be continued.

The following describes the operation of dual-redundant I/O module.
The operation varies depending on the I/O module type used.

Dual-Redundant Analog Input Module : PFCS/SFCS


Analog input modules can be set for dual-redundant operation using the Dual-Redundant
Signal Selector Block (SS-DUAL), which is one of the function blocks.
Two signals from the two analog modules are connected to IN1 and IN2 terminals of the
SS-DUAL block.

Dual-Redundant Analog Output Module : PFCS/SFCS


For the Current/Voltage Output Module (AAM51), directly adjacent module (i.e., 1-2, 3-4, 56, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14,15-16) can be used for dual-redundant outputs (with the output
terminals connected in parallel.) Conventionally, the smaller number of the two becomes
the control side and outputs to the field.
If an error occurs on the control side, the control right will be transferred to the standby side
and output will continue. At this time, a system alarm message will be issued in conjunction
with the control right transfer. Error recovery in the I/O module is then monitored periodically.

Dual-Redundant Multipoint Control Analog I/O Module : PFCS/SFCS


For the Multipoint Control Analog I/O Module (AMC80), the dual-redundancy may be
realized by installing two modules into one unit. The one on the first slot at power-on becomes the control side and the one on the second slot becomes the standby side. I/O data
for the field will be the same for control side and standby side modules.
The control right will be transferred to the standby side if AMC80 malfunctions during
on-line loading (including the case in which the front cable is unplugged). At this time, the
previous input value (PV) and output value (MV) will be retained.
The Multipoint Control Analog I/O Module (AMC80) uses the data input to the control side
as the data input from the field. For data output to the field, the output data on the control
side will be used.

Dual-Redundant Contact Input Module : PFCS/SFCS


Contact input modules can have a dual-redundant structure using two modules of the same
type and same functions. As for I/O data from the field, the same values will be input and
output with respect to both the control side and standby modules. When the two modules
are installed into the two adjacent slots in the same unit (such as slot1 and slot2 or slot3
and slot4), the dual-redundancy may be realized. The function blocks only use the data on
the control side modules.
If an error occurs on the control side, the control right will be transferred to the standby side
and input will continue. At this time, a system alarm message will be issued in conjunction
with the control right transfer. Error recovery in the I/O module is then monitored periodically.

Dual-Redundant Contact Output Module : PFCS/SFCS


Contact output modules can have a dual-redundant structure using two modules of the
same type and the same functions by connecting the output terminals to each other in
parallel. The OR of the signals from the two modules will be output to the field. When the
two modules are installed into the two adjacent slots in the same unit (such as slot1 and
slot2 or slot3 and slot4), the dual-redundancy may be realized.
If an error occurs on the control side, the control right will be transferred to the standby side
and output will continue. At this time, a system alarm message will be issued in conjunction
with the control right transfer. Error recovery in the I/O module is then monitored periodically.

IOM Dual-Redundant Actions at FCS Power Failure and Different Malfunction Modes : PFCS/SFCS
This section explains the IOM dual-redundant actions under the circumstances of FCS
power failure and recovery; station RUN operation; and after the FCS Offline downloading.
This explanation is based on the situation that both dual-redundant IOM cards are running
properly and any of the two cards may be running as control side card. Furthermore, in the
specific situations (PI/O malfunction, PI/O stop, OOP etc.,) the actions vary with the situations accordingly.

Control I/O Modules (AAM50/AAM51) : PFCS/SFCS


When recovered from power failure (including the PI/O area), the smaller numbered
card takes the control.
After FCS Offline downloading, the greater numbered card takes the control.
When recovered from power failure (not including the PI/O area), or FCS start by the
operation like Station RUN, the card previously controlled keeps its control right.

Multi-point Control Analog I/O Module (AMC80) : PFCS/SFCS


When FCS recovered from a prolonged period of power failure, the smaller numbered
card takes the control.
After FCS Offline downloading, the card in greater numbered slot takes the control.
When recovered from other kind of power failure or FCS start by the operation like
Station RUN, the card previously controlled keeps its control right.

Contact Input/Output Module (ADMxx) : PFCS/SFCS


When FCS recovered from a cold initial start (or from the prolonged stop, Station RUN
operation, FCS Offline downloading) the card in the smaller numbered slot takes the
control.
When recovered from FCS restart, the card previously controlled keeps its control
right.

Package Communication Module (ACM1x) : PFCS/SFCS


When the FCS recovered from a power failure or a Station RUN operation or FCS
Offline downloading, the card in the smaller numbered slot takes the control.

B4.2 Dual-Redundant Architecture of KFCS2, KFCS


and FFCS
In KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS, dual-redundant configuration are applied to field control
units, control extended serial backboard buses (ESB bus), enhanced remote I/O
buses (ER bus) and I/O modules. So that the FCU, the local nodes, the remote nodes
and their power supply units are operated redundantly.
The dual-redundant architecture of FCU, ESB bus and ER bus is explained as follows.

B4-13

Each processor card unit has two CPUs, which perform the same control computation. The computation results are compared by a collator during each computation
cycle. If the computation results from the two CPUs match, the collator determines
that the computation is normal and sends data to main memory and bus interface unit.
Because the main memory has an ECC (Error-Correcting Code), transient bit inversion errors occurring in the main memory can be repaired.
If computation results from CPU1 and CPU2 do not match, the collator decides that a
computation error has occurred, and the control right is transferred to the standby
card.
The standby processor unit card performs the same computation as the control one,
even though it is in the standby state. Therefore, it can immediately resume the output
of control computation data to the bus interface when it takes over the control right.
Self-diagnostics will be executed on the processor unit in which an error has occurred.
If no CPU error is detected as a result of diagnostics, the error will be taken as a
transient computation error, and the unit returns from error state to standby. The
processor unit on standby performs the same computation concurrently with the
control side.
Therefore, CPUs within the same unit collate each others computation data, being
sure to detect any computation errors. Because the unit on standby performs the
same control computation concurrently with the control unit, it can take over the
control computation at any point without interruption, even for a very short time.

Figure Structure of Duplexed Processor Modules

Each processor module has two MPUs. Each MPU performs the identical control
computation. The computation results of the two MPUs are compared using a collator
during each control computation cycle.
If the computation results of the two MPUs match, the collator determines that the
computation is normal and sends data to the main storage and the bus interface unit.
Because the main storage has an ECC (Error Correcting Code), it corrects transient
bit inversion errors occurring inside the main storage.
If computation results between the MPU1 and MPU2 do not match, the collator determines that a computation error has occurred, and then the control right is transferred
to the standby processor module.
The standby processor module performs the same control computation as the controlling processor module even when it is in the standby state. Therefore, the standby
processor module can immediately resume the output of control computation data to
the bus interface when it takes over the control right.
Self-diagnostics is executed on the processor module in which a computation error
has occurred. If no abnormality is detected in the error causing MPU as a result of
diagnostics, the error is determined as a transient computation error, and the module
is recovered from the error state and placed in the standby state. The processor
module in standby state performs the same control computation synchronous with the
controlling processor module.

If an abnormality is detected in the self-diagnostics of the I/O controller inside the


controlling processor module, the control right is transferred to the standby processor
module. Inside the processor modules, faults of the SB buses are diagnosed by
accessing each others processor module via the SB buses between duplexed processor modules.
If all local nodes are abnormal, it is assumed as an ESB bus failure.

Dual-Redundant Configuration of ESB Master Interface Cards (SB301) :


KFCS2/KFCS
Using two SB301 cards in a FCU, the dual-redundancy of the cards can be configured. The
software in controlling CPU in FCU decides which SB301 card is running and which is
standing by. The SB301 card mounted in the same side of the controlling CPU is running
while the SB301 card with the other CPU is standing by. The CPU communicating with I/O
modules via SB301.

Dual-Redundant Configuration of ESB Bus and SB401 : KFCS2/KFCS


Dual-redundant ESB bus can be configured even though the FCU is not in dual-redundant
configuration. Dual-redundant configuration of ESB bus is applied with a pair of buses
connected to a pair of SB401 respectively. The dual-redundant buses are used alternately
in normal situation. When abnormality occurs in one bus or in one SB401, the other bus or
the other SB401 takes over the whole communication. FCU periodically probes the failed
bus to check if the bus has recovered or not.
Moreover, if a bus connected to the controlling SB301 fails, the controlling SB301 passes
the control right to the standby SB301 if the bus connected to the standby SB301 is normal.

EB401, Enhanced remote I/O buses and EB501 can be applied in dual-redundant configuration.

Dual-Redundant Configuration of EB401, Enhanced Remote I/O Buses and


EB501 : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
In a local mode, putting the two EB401 cards next to each other (one in an odd numbered
slot and the other in the next even numbered slot), the EB401 and the enhanced remote I/
O bus can be configured to a dual-redundant scheme. For FFCS, two EB401 cards can be
put in either a local node or FCU slots next to each other so as to form a dual-redundant
scheme.
One ER bus from one EB401 card can be used for connecting many remote nodes by
connecting to EB501 card on each node. The bus from the odd numbered EB401 should
be connected to the left side EB501 card, while the bus from the even numbered EB401
should be connected to the right side EB501 card.
The software in controlling CPU decides which EB401 card is running and which is standing by. The controlling EB401 card performs the input and output signal communications
with I/O modules via ER bus.The stand-by EB401 runs the node diagnosis only (node
communication diagnosis), it checks the node communication but does not check the
communication between modules and the node.

conditions.
In the cases that the controlling EB401 card is abnormal and the standby card is

In case 1, when the node 2 standby card becomes normal, the bus changes its control right
to the standby line.
In case 4 and case 5, the switching the bus line may disconnect the currently running
remote node 4, so that the bus does not switch.
The policy of switching control right is not based on the majority of normal nodes, but based
on the priority for keeping the currently running nodes continue.
TIP
When a remote node fails, switching control right of EB401 models may occur due to the difference of
scan timing between control and standby EB401 modules.

IMPORTANT
When switching from one EB401 to another, the communication with the I/O modules
connected via the EB401 and ER bus may halt for 2 or 3 seconds. During this period, the I/
O signals are handled as follows:
The input signals from I/O modules to FCU are holding the previous values.
When setting a Missing Pulse Check Time for checking pulse input signal, the ER bus
halt time during the two or three seconds of the control right change time between the
EB401 modules should be covered.
The output signals from I/O modules to field devices are holding the previous values.
However, for the pulse width output, the pulse-loss may occur.

Dual-Redundant Configuration of I/O Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


Putting the two I/O modules with the same model and the same functions next to each
other (one in an odd numbered slot and the other in the next even numbered slot), the I/O
modules can be applied with dual-redundant configuration.
One of the dual-redundantly-configured cards is used for control while the other is standing
by. Except ST Compatible I/O modules, the I/O modules switch from control to standby or
vice versa automatically.

Analog Input Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


When the I/O modules are in dual-redundant configuration, the current input signals from
the field are acquired only by the controlling I/O module. While the voltage input signals are
acquired by both controlling and standby modules.
CPU only uses the data acquired via controlling modules. When a controlling module fails,
CPU switches to take data from the standby module so that data input can continue.

Analog Output Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


CPU outputs the same data to both controlling modules and standby modules. Only the
controlling modules output signals to the field devices.
When a controlling module fails, the standby module takes over to send data to the field
devices so that data output can continue.

Contact Input Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


When the I/O modules are in dual-redundant configuration, the signals from the field are
acquired by both controlling and standby contact input modules.
CPU only uses the data acquired via controlling modules. When a controlling module fails,
CPU switches to take data from the standby module so that data input can continue.

Contact Output Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS


Modules Other Than ST Compatible (No Voltage Contact I/O) Modules
CPU outputs the same data to both controlling modules and standby modules. Only
the controlling modules output signals to the field devices.
When a controlling module fails, the standby module takes over to send data to the
field devices so that data output can continue.
ST Compatible (No Voltage Contact I/O) Modules
CPU outputs the same data to both controlling modules and standby modules. Both
the controlling modules and standby modules output signals to the field devices.
Since both modules send output signals, control right switching becomes meaningless.

IMPORTANT
The dual-redundant configured I/O modules do not support the pulse width outputs and
time-proportioning ON/OFF outputs, When two contact output modules are put into dualredundant configuration, the output timings from the two modules are not synchronized,
thus the control loop cannot properly function.

Each processor unit has two CPUs, which perform the same control computation. The
computation results are compared by a collator during each computation cycle. If the
computation results from the two CPUs match, the collator determines that the computation is normal and sends data to locations such as the main memory and bus
interface unit.
Because the main memory has an ECC (Error-Correcting Code), transient bit inversion errors occurring in the main memory can be repaired.
If computation results from CPU1 and CPU2 do not match, the collator judges that a
computation error has occurred, and the control right will be transferred to the standby
side.
The standby processor unit performs the same computation as the control side, even
though it is in the standby state. Therefore, it can immediately resume the output of
control computation data to the bus interface when it takes over the control right.
Self-diagnostics will be executed on the processor unit in which an error has occurred.
If no CPU error is detected as a result of diagnostics, the error will be judged a transient computation error, and the error state will return to standby. The processor unit
on standby performs the same computation concurrently with the control side.
Therefore, CPUs within the same unit collate each others computation data, being
sure to detect any computation errors. Because the unit on standby performs the
same control computation concurrently with the control side, it can take over the
control computation at any point without interruption, even for the shortest time.
The RIO bus interface unit (RB301) can have a dual-redundant structure when two
RB301 units are installed in the FCU. The two RB301s will be controlled by the software within the control side CPU, and it will be determined whether to set the control
side or standby side to which unit. The RB301 located on the control side CPU will
become the control side, while the other will become the standby side. The control
side RB301 communicates with each individual node as the master RIO bus. On the
other hand, the standby side RB301 performs only diagnostic communication as the
slave RIO bus.
The use of RIO buses is usually alternated. If an error occurs in one bus, the other bus
will be used for communication. Error recovery in the buses will then be monitored
periodically.

IMPORTANT
When switching from one RB301 to another, the communication with the I/O modules
connected via the RB301 and RIO bus may halt for 1 or 2 seconds (one scan cycle.) During
this period, the I/O signals are handled as follows:
The input signals from I/O modules to FCU are holding the previous values.
When setting a Missing Pulse Check Time for checking pulse input signal, the RIO
bus halt time during the control right change time between the RB301 modules should
be covered.
The output signals from I/O modules to field devices are holding the previous values.
However, for the pulse width output, the pulse-loss of one scan cycle may occur.

In the node area, the node interface unit (RB401) and node power supply unit (PW401) can
be set for dual-redundant operation. Also, the I/O module bus connecting the node interface area and each I/O unit can be set for dual-redundancy. In the I/O module area, dualredundancy can be implemented by connecting modules of the same type in parallel.

Dual-Redundant Node Interface and Dual-Redundant I/O Module Bus :


LFCS2/LFCS
Dual-redundant RI/O bus connects two node interface units (RB401) to RI/O bus1 and
bus2 of each node. I/O module bus can be set for dual-redundancy using I/O module bus1
through bus5 on each of the two RB401 units.

Dual-Redundant Analog Input Module : LFCS2/LFCS


Analog input modules can be set for dual-redundant operation using the Dual-Redundant
Signal Selector Block (SS-DUAL), which is one of the function blocks.
Two signals from the two analog modules are connected to IN1 and IN2 terminals of the
SS-DUAL block.

Dual-Redundant Analog Output Module : LFCS2/LFCS


For the Current/Voltage Output Module (AAM51), directly adjacent units (i.e., 1-2, 3-4, 5-6,
7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14,15-16) can be used for dual-redundant outputs (with the output
terminals connected in parallel.) Conventionally, the smaller number of two becomes the
control side and outputs to the field.
If an error occurs on the control side, the control right will be transferred to the standby side
and output will continue. At this time, a system alarm message will be issued in conjunction
with the control right transfer. Error recovery in the I/O module is then monitored periodically.

Dual-Redundant Multipoint Control Analog I/O Module : LFCS2/LFCS


For the Multipoint Control Analog I/O Module (AMC80), when the two modules are installed
in the same unit the dual-redundancy may be realized. The one on the first slot at power-on
becomes the control side and the one on the second slot becomes the standby side. I/O
data for the field will be the same for control side and standby side modules.
The control right will be transferred to the standby side if AMC80 malfunctions during
power-on or on-line loading (including the case in which the front cable is unplugged). At
this time, the previous input value (PV) and output value (MV) will be retained.
The Multipoint Control Analog I/O Module (AMC80) uses the data input to the control side
as the data input from the field. For data output to the field, the output data on the control
side will be used.

Dual-Redundant Contact Input Module : LFCS2/LFCS


Contact input modules can have a dual-redundant structure using two modules of the same
type and same functions. As for I/O data with the field, the same values will be input and
output with respect to both the control side and standby modules. When the two modules
are installed into the two adjacent slots in the same unit (such as slot1 and slot2 or slot3
and slot4), the dual-redundancy may be realized. The function blocks only use the data on
the control side modules.
If an error occurs on the control side, the control right will be transferred to the standby side
and input will continue. At this time, a system alarm message will be issued in conjunction
with the control right transfer. Error recovery in the I/O module is then monitored periodically.

Dual-Redundant Contact Output Module : LFCS2/LFCS


Contact output modules can have a dual-redundant structure using two modules of the
same type and the same functions by connecting the output terminals to each other in
parallel. The OR of the signals from the two modules will be output to the field. When the
two modules are installed into the two adjacent slots in the same unit (such as slot1 and
slot2 or slot3 and slot4), the dual-redundancy may be realized. The output data are set to
both sides. If an error occurs on the control side, the control right will be transferred to the
standby side and output will continue. At this time, a system alarm message will be issued
in conjunction with the control right transfer. Error recovery in the I/O module is then monitored periodically.
Since both modules send output signals, control right switching becomes meaningless.

IMPORTANT
The dual-redundant configured I/O modules do not support the pulse width outputs and
time-proportioning ON/OFF outputs, When two contact output modules are put into dualredundant configuration, the output timings from the two modules are not synchronized,
thus the control loop cannot properly function.

IOM Dual-Redundant Actions at FCS Power Failure and Different Malfunction Modes : LFCS2/LFCS
This section explains the IOM dual-redundant actions under the circumstances of FCS
power failure and recovery; station RUN operation; and after the FCS Offline downloading.
This explanation is based on the situation that both dual-redundant IOM cards are running
properly and any of the two cards may be running as control side card. Furthermore, in the
specific situations (PI/O malfunction, PI/O stop, OOP etc.,) the actions vary with the situations accordingly.

Control I/O Modules (AAM50/AAM51) : LFCS2/LFCS


When recovered from power failure (including the PI/O area), the smaller numbered
card takes the control.
After FCS Offline downloading, the greater numbered card takes the control.
When recovered from power failure (not including the PI/O area), or FCS start by the
operation like Station RUN, the card previously controlled keeps its control right.

Multi-Point Control Analog I/O Module (AMC80) : LFCS2/LFCS


When FCS recovered from a prolonged period of power failure, the smaller numbered
card takes the control.
After FCS Offline downloading, the card in greater numbered slot takes the control.
When recovered from other kind of power failure or FCS start by the operation like
Station RUN, the card previously controlled keeps its control right.

Contact Input/Output Module (ADMxx) : LFCS2/LFCS


When FCS recovered from a cold initial start (or from the prolonged stop, Station RUN
operation, FCS Offline downloading) the card in the smaller numbered slot takes the
control.
When recovered from FCS restart, the card previously controlled keeps its control
right.

Package Communication Module (ACM1x) : LFCS2/LFCS


When the FCS recovered from a power failure or a Station RUN operation or FCS
Offline downloading, the card in the smaller numbered slot takes the control.
