Introduction
ProSafe-RS can be integrated with FAST/TOOLS, a Yokogawa SCADA system. When ProSafe-
RS is integrated with FAST/TOOLS, the SCSs of ProSafe-RS system can be accessed by FAST/
TOOLS through Vnet/IP network. In this document, how to integrate ProSafe-RS with FAST/
TOOLS will be explained. It is important to fully understand the contents of this document for your
engineering and maintenance works.
Regarding the engineering details of FAST/TOOLS, you can refer to the Users Manual of
FAST/TOOLS. The document of ProSafe-RS Vnet/IP (IM 32S56H10-21E) provides information
about Vnet/IP in a standalone ProSafe-RS system and integrated system of ProSafe-RS and
CENTUM. For information on Vnet/IP when ProSafe-RS is integrated with FAST/TOOLS, please

l Variable Name
Among the variables created on SCS Manager, specify the variable name you want to assign
a tag name. To assign a tag name to a function block instance, enter the instance name as the
variable name. A tag name can be defined regardless of the scope of the variable.
In the case of a local variable, enter a scope name after @. In the case of an internal variable of
a user-defined function block, assign an instance name using Dictionary View of SCS Manager.
The variable name is specified in the format of [InstanceName].[Internal Variable Name], and
up to two nests are permitted in each variable to which a tag name is assigned.
Table Examples of Variable Name Specification
Variable Name Scope Description
VAR1 Global Global variable
VAR2@PROG1 PROG1 Local variable of PROG1 function
FB01.VAR3 Global Internal variable VAR3 of user-defined function block instance FB01
Internal variable VAR3 of user-defined function block instance FB01
FB01.VAR3@PROG1 PROG1
defined locally in PROG1 function
Internal variable VAR3 of user-defined function block instance FB2,
FB01.FB2.VAR3 Global which is used in user-defined function block instance FB01 (maximum
limit of function block nesting)
Note: The variable name can contain up to 69 single-byte characters. Tag Name Builder also checks the following items:
The variable name consists only of alphanumeric characters and @, . or _. Otherwise, an error will occur.
The variable name begins with an alphabetic character or _; otherwise, an error will occur.
In the above table, FB01.VAR3 and FB01.VAR3@PROG1 have one nest, while FB01.FB2.VAR3 has two nests. Three
nests or more will result in an error.
l Tag Name
A name used to access each application logic variable from FAST/TOOLS. A tag name can
contain up to 16 single-byte alphanumeric characters including _ and -. Note that tag names
cannot begin with _ or -. All characters are converted to uppercase as they are entered. Tag
names must be unique within an SCS.
l Tag Comment
A comment assigned to each tag name. A tag comment can be defined using up to 24 single-byte
characters.
l Annunciator Message
A message used by an ANN or ANN_FUP function block. An annunciator message can be
defined using up to 80 single-byte characters.
Default: None
l Unit
A symbol indicating the engineering unit of data such as flow rate and pressure. A unit can be
defined using up to six single-byte characters.
Default: %
l High Limit
A high limit (SH) is the highest point of engineering data scale. It can be defined using up to
seven digits including a sign and decimal point. This setting is referenced by FAST/TOOLS only
for display purposes and not used in calculation or alarm processing of the SCS. Enter the same
value as the High limit set on Multi-Language Editor, although a different value can be set.
Default: 100.0
TIP
When a builder file (*.edf), a file saved with another name (*.sva), or a CSV file (*.csv) is imported on Tag Name
Builder, the setting items that cannot be used on FAST/TOOLS are not imported and the default values will be
used.
IMPORTANT
In the ProSafe-RS system where the FAST/TOOLS Integration Package is installed, ensure that
no path connects to a V net or CENTUM Vnet/IP network.
n System Configuration
l Vnet/IP Station
The Vnet/IP station in a domain is connected to a Layer 2 switch in each bus.
SENG
A general-purpose PC is connected to the Vnet/IP network through a Vnet/IP interface
card (VI702/VI701) installed in it. The VI702/VI701 card has two ports of connectors for
connection to the Vnet/IP communication cables to support redundancy of Vnet/IP buses.
SCSP (SSC60S, SSC60D, SSC50S, SSC50D)
SCSP is a Safety Control Station that can be connected in the Vnet/IP network.
PRM
PRM is an asset management system provided by Yokogawa Electric Corporation.
FAST/TOOLS
FAST/TOOLS is a SCADA system provided by Yokogawa Electric Corporation.
l Vnet/IP Domain
A Vnet/IP domain consists of two independent subnets on each bus.
l Layer 2 Switch
The Vnet/IP stations and general-purpose Ethernet devices in a domain are connected to each
bus through Layer 2 switches (L2SW). At least one Layer 2 switch is required for each bus.
l Layer 3 Switch
Layer 3 switches (L3SW) are used to connect Vnet/IP domains and provided for each bus.
l Router
Routers with security capabilities should be used if you connect bus 2 with an external network
such as Intranet to ensure security of the Vnet/IP network.
IMPORTANT
When the band used by Vnet/IP is 100 Mbps, control the traffic flowing from general-
purpose Ethernet devices into a Vnet/IP network according to the engineering guidelines of
FAST/TOOLS.
When the band used by Vnet/IP is 1 Gbps, use a hub to control the traffic flowing from
general-purpose Ethernet devices to a Vnet/IP network so as to prevent it from exceeding
300 Mbps (for example, three 100 Mbps ports).
STARDOM Controller
Open communication is performed between a STARDOM controller (FCN/FCJ) and a
ProSafe-RS station (SCSP or SENG), and control communication is not performed.
A network of STARDOM controllers can be configured for redundancy by using bus 2 as the
primary bus and bus 1 as the secondary bus.
General-purpose Ethernet Device
To connect Vnet/IP with an external network such as Intranet, separate the network using a
router.
IMPORTANT
When you connect SCSPs in a network where general-purpose Ethernet devices are
connected, use intelligent switches as Layer 2 switches in order to prevent multicasting of open
communication from flowing into the SCSPs.
SEE
ALSO For more information about selecting Layer 2 switches for use in the network, see the Vnet/IP Network
Configuration Guide (TI 33P01B10-31E).
IMPORTANT
Multiple stations are connected to Layer 2 switches. It is strongly recommended to provide an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for Layer 2 switches so that they will not stop due to power
failure.
If the Layer 2 switches stop due to power failure, there will be the following effects:
A communication error will occur if Layer 2 switches for the buses stop due to power failure.
For dual-redundant SCSP, when the Layer 2 switches for both buses fail, the controlling
CPU will also fail and the control will be switched to the standby CPU. Then the dual-
redundant stations will run in non-redundant mode.
If a Layer 2 switch is restarted after momentary power failure, it takes several seconds for
the communication with stations to recover.
IMPORTANT
Avoid the connection in which multiple communication routes exist between any two stations.
Otherwise, the communication may not be properly performed.

n Precautions for Time Synchronization in 2.14, Time Synchronization in the Engineering Guide (IM
32S01C10-21E)
The system software of a Vnet/IP station references the network time, and adjusts its own system
time according to the network time. Because of the differences in the time adjustment methods,
the deviations between the system time and the network time are as shown below:
Table Accuracies of the System Time
Deviation from network
Station type Time adjustment method
time
The deviation between the network time and the
SENG or other stations
system time will be checked all the time. If the
operating on general- Max. 0.5 s
deviation exceeds 0.5 s, the system time will be
purpose PC
adjusted to the network time.
The system time always synchronizes with the
SCSP None
network time.
n Time Group
The time group denotes a range in which time synchronization is performed. The entire Vnet/IP
network can be defined as one time group. Alternatively, the range in which time synchronization
is performed can be limited by separating domains in the same Vnet/IP network into different time
groups.
Specify a time group using a number from 0 to 7. The default time group number is 1.
To perform time synchronization only in a domain, set the time group number to 0.
If an SNTP server does not exist in a time group, one of Vnet/IP stations in a time group will act
as the time master station, and other stations within the same time group will synchronize with
the network time of the time master station.
n SNTP Server
To synchronize the network time of a Vnet/IP station with the standard time, connect an SNTP
server in each time group. Only one SNTP server is connected within the same time group.
Generally, an SNTP server is connected to bus 1 of Vnet/IP. However, if time synchronization is
necessary with the devices that perform open communication, connect the SNTP server to bus 2.
For the dual-redundant SNTP servers, one more SNTP server needs to be added and connected
to the other bus. In this case, the time master station in the Vnet/IP network will synchronize the
time with the SNTP server that is synchronized with the standard time. If the SNTP server being
referenced fails, the time synchronization will be performed with the other SNTP server that is
normal.
IMPORTANT
If there is a notification that the SNTP server that exists in a time group is not synchronized with
the standard time, all the stations in the time group will synchronize their times with the time
master station in the Vnet/IP network. When the SNTP server time is synchronized again with
the standard time, all the stations in the time group will synchronize their times with the standard
time, instead of the time master station in the Vnet/IP network, at once.
The state of the time synchronization of SCSP stations, whether it is synchronized with the
standard time of SNTP server or not synchronized with the standard time but is synchronized
with the Vnet/IP time master station, can be found using the following function block or monitored
on the following window.
Output of the system function block (SYS_NETST)
SCS State Management window of the SCS Maintenance Support Tool of SENG
Even if the state of the time synchronization with the network time changes, no diagnostic
massage or system alarm is output to notify this event. If the time synchronization event needs to
be notified, create an application logic using the SYS_NETST function block to output the event
to an external alarm lamp or to an annunciator.
Note, however, that the Synchronous Mode of SCSP stations on the Communication tab of the
SCS Constants Builder should be set to [Vnet/IP] regardless the SNTP sever is available or not.

3.4, Installation and Setup of Vnet/IP in the Installation (IM 32S01C50-21E)
In this section, how to do the network engineering and setting the Vnet/IP addresses will be
explained.
IMPORTANT
For the SCSP stations on the Vnet/IP network that is connected with general-purpose Ethernet
devices, SCSP stations should be connected on the Layer 2 switches and the Layer 2 switches
should be the intelligent switches that can prevent the open communication multicasts flow into
the SCSP stations.

3, Engineering Works for Integration with FAST/TOOLS
If the station has dual-redundant CPU modules, the same domain and station numbers should be
set on both the control side and standby side. If the control side and standby side have different
numbers, the standby side cannot be started for dual-redundancy.
When setting the Vnet/IP link mode switch (FIX) on the CPU module of the SCSP station, Auto-
negotiation should be set as enabled.
By default, Auto-negotiation is enabled.

(Hardware) (IM 32S06C10-21E):
4.2, Processor Module
6.7, Setting the Vnet/IP Interface Card Station Address
n Domain Number
The Vnet/IP domain number needs to be set within the range of 1 to 31.
The domain number can be set by the DIP switch on the hardware.
n Station Number
The Vnet/IP station number needs to be set within the range of 1 to 64. The station numbers in
the same domain should not be identical.
The station number can be set by the DIP switch on the hardware.
IMPORTANT
The IP address used by Vnet/IP station must not be identical with the IP address of other
communication device.
When SENG is sharing database with other SENG, if the network addresses of devices are
different, the names of other PCs in the hosts file should be edited for name resolution.
[Example]
For the SENG with domain number 1, station number 64 and host address 200, the open
communication IP address of the SENG is as follows:
Open communication IP address = 192.168.<128 + domain number>.<host address>
= 192.168.129.200
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

ALSO For more information about setting SENG open communication IP address, see the following sections in the
Installation (IM 32S01C50-21E):
3.4.5, Setting Vnet/IP Network Connection (Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008)
3.4.6, Setting Vnet/IP Network Connection (Windows XP/Windows Server 2003)
Network Addresses
As the table below shows, the network address is determined by the bus system and domain number.
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Host Addresses
The host address for the control communication of Vnet/IP is determined by the station number, and 2 to
129 are used. Other host addresses are used for the following purposes:
1: Reserved
130 to 253: For open communications
254: For SNTP sever
[Example]
For the SENG with domain number 1 and station number 64:
Network address of bus 1 = 192.168.<domain number>.0 = 192.168.1.0
Network address of bus 2 = 192.168.<128 + domain number>.0 = 192.168.129.0
The host address is determined by the following formula:
Host address = Station number x 2 = 64 x 2 = 128
Therefore, the IP addresses of the SENG for control communication are as follows:
Control communication IP address of bus 1 = 192.168.1.128
Control communication IP address of bus 2 = 192.168.129.128

*1: If the IP address field for the SNTP server is blank in the Domain Properties Setting Tool, it indicates that the default IP address is
being used.
WARNING
Before you add a station, make sure that there are no duplicate station addresses.
Turn off the power of the additional station before you connect the cables.
l Case 1: When using existing Layer 2 switches (ports are available on existing
Layer 2 switches)
1. On an SENG, select a project of a running SCS and call up an SCS status display window
(either SCS Status Overview or SCS State Management) of the SCS Maintenance Support
Tool. In the SCS status display window, check that both buses are normal.
2. Make sure that the additional station is not powered on.
3. Connect the BUS1 port of the additional station to the Layer 2 switch for BUS1 with a cable.
If the port on the Layer 2 switch is disabled, enable the port.
4. In the SCS status display window, check that both buses are normal.
5. Connect the BUS2 port of the additional station to the Layer 2 switch for BUS2 with a cable.
If the port on the Layer 2 switch is disabled, enable the port.
6. In the SCS status display window, check that both buses are normal.
7. Turn on the power of the additional station.
8. In the SCS status display window, check that both buses are normal.
TIP
Alternatively, you can add a station to Layer 3 switches directly instead of Layer 2 switches.
1. On an SENG, select a project of a running SCS and call up an SCS status display window
(either SCS Status Overview or SCS State Management) of the SCS Maintenance Support
Tool. In the SCS status display window, check that both buses are normal.
2. Disconnect the cable between any one of the existing stations and a Layer 2 switch for
BUS1.
3. Connect the additional Layer 2 switch for BUS1 to the existing Layer 2 switch for BUS1 with
a cable.
4. Turn on the power of the Layer 2 switch that you have added.
5. Connect the existing station that you have disconnected at step 2 to the newly added Layer
2 switch for BUS1 with a cable.
6. In the SCS status display window, check that both buses are normal.
7. Disconnect the cable between any one of the existing stations and a Layer 2 switch for
BUS2.
8. Connect the additional Layer 2 switch for BUS2 and the existing Layer 2 switch for BUS2
