<2. Forcing Function> 2-1
2. Forcing Function
You can use the forcing function to lock variables and forcibly change their values.
Specifically, you can lock the variables in application logic, values of input and
output channels of I/O modules, data of SCS Link Transmission, Inter-SCS Safety
Communication, and Subsystem Communication. The forcing function can be used for
SCS maintenance or application debugging.
Execute the forcing function in the following windows:

I/O Lock window
SCS Link Transmission Lock window
Inter-SCS Communication Lock window
Communication I/O Lock window
Multi-Language Editor (FBD)
Multi-Language Editor (LD)
Dictionary View
Spy List window
IMPORTANT
To execute the forcing function, it is necessary to set the SCS security level to Level 1 or 0.
The forcing function can be used in the target test, the SCS simulation test and the logic
simulation test. However, the I/O Lock window, SCS Link Transmission window, Inter-SCS
Communication Lock window, and Communication I/O Lock window cannot be started for
the logic simulation test.
This chapter describes mainly how to operate the I/O Lock window, SCS Link Transmission Lock
window, and Inter-SCS Communication Lock window.

The following operations are performed on I/O Lock window.
Locking and unlocking all channels of multiple AIO/DIO modules
Lock all modules to prevent nuisance tripping caused by online modifications after the
completion of input/output wiring, or to perform maintenance of AIO/DIO modules including
replacement .
Locking and unlocking one input/output channel
Perform this operation to conduct wiring tests.
Setting variable values
In addition to the I/O Lock window, the following windows allow forcing operations on the listed
variables and parameters:
Dictionary View window:
All variables including internal variables
Parameters in some of function blocks
Multi-Language Editor window:
Variables used in FBD, LD and ST (if Spy List wondow is open)
Parameters in the User-Defined function blocks
Furthermore, in debug mode and in logic simulation mode, a Spy List window will be shown at
the lower part of SCS Manager and Multi-Language Editor, where the following forcing operation
can be performed.
Forcing the variables used in FBD, LD and ST.
A variable locked in a certain window can be unlocked in another window. Similarly, a variable
locked in an SENG can be unlocked in another SENG at different timing.
However, to unlock the variables, the Spy List window must be shown in the Multi-Language
Editor. Or you can unlock the variables in the Dictionary View.

in the Spy List window.
When you select a global variable or a local variable (such as A in the above figure) on Multi-
Language Editor, the value of the selected variable appears in the Spy List window. For a global
array variable or a local array variable, if one array element is selected (such as ARRAY0[1] in
the above figure), all the elements of the array appear in the Spy List window.
If you want to only display the variables of a specified POU on the Spy List window, you can save
the variables into a variable set file. So that you can use multiple files to change the displayed
variables of different POUs.

IMPORTANT
It is important that you do not operate the variable of another scope accidentally because multiple
variables in different scopes may have the identical name.
The Spy List window may be restarted with previously displayed state. The action is as follows:
If the debug mode or the logic simulation mode is terminated while the Spy List window is
opened, the Spy List window will restart right after the debug mode or the logic simulation
mode restarts.
Under the debug mode or the logic simulation mode, if the Multi-Language Editor is
terminated while the Spy List window is opened, the Spy List window will restart after the
Multi-Language Editor restarts.
When starting the Spy List window, it will display the previously displayed variables. When
switching SCS projects, the previously displayed variables of that project will be displayed
on the Spy List window.

<2.1 I/O Lock Window> 2-5
2.1 I/O Lock Window

In the I/O Lock window, you can perform locking and unlocking operations for individual
input/output modules and/or input/output channels (input/output variables). Also you can
set values to Input/Output variables. The I/O Lock Window allows operation on AIO/DIO
modules. In this section, input/output modules refers to AIO/DIO modules.
In SCS Simulator of SCS Test Functions, multiple I/O variables can be set all together.
Therefore, the initial values of all channels of I/O modules and the testing patterns can be
set all together.

n Hardware Configuration Tree View

This view displays the hardware configuration of a single SCS in tree format. The upper part of
the tree view shows the status of the V net or Vnet/IP.
Each CPU node is displayed with its CPU modules, power supply modules and input/output
modules. If there is any diagnostic information message generated for any hardware components
displayed in tree format, a diagnostic information mark is displayed at the left of each component.
Since diagnostic information marks are displayed on the alarm layer, if an error is detected
in an input/output module, the diagnostic information marks are also displayed for its upper
components, e.g., I/O node and SCS. This way, the user can simply display an upper component
to check whether any diagnostic information messages are present for lower components on the
alarm layer. If an error is detected in an upper component, the states of the lower components
displayed are those obtained before the error occurred in the upper component.
In the case of dual redundant input/output modules, diagnostic information messages for
both sides are displayed regardless of which input/output module you select. If there are any
diagnostic information messages that have not been acknowledged, the diagnostic information
mark flashes. Double-click the name of component or input/output module to display detailed
information of the selected item in Component/Module List View.

3.1.5 Setting System Time

The system date and time can be set using the Adjust Time dialog box. The date and time
specified in the Adjust Time dialog box are reflected on the SCS connected to the same
domain and other SENGs. In the case of the CENTUM integration structure, the set date
and time are also reflected on its FCS and HIS. Moreover, when multiple domains are
connected through BCV or CGW and it so specified by the builder, the same date and time
can be applied to the stations in the connected domains too.
The settings are applied to the date/time of the following connected system components:
Date/time of the local SENG (Windows date/time)
Date/time of all SCS, FCS and HIS
Date/time of other SENGs
If an HIS is connected, the time settings made on the HIS are applied to the stations above
as well.
IMPORTANT
If Vnet/IP is applied as the control bus, using SNTP server standard time for time
synchronization cannot change the system time from SENG and HIS.
If V net is applied as the control bus, the Adjust Time dialog box should be used to set time
regardless what type of time synchronization is applied. When a V net network is connected
with a Vnet/IP network through a Vnet router, if the option in the Vnet router [Transfer
System Time - Transfer lower] is checked, the system time cannot be changed from SENG
and HIS on the V net. Moreover, if multiple domains are connected together through BCV
or CGW, and if the option in BCV [Transfer lower] is checked or the option in CGW [Receive
System Time] is checked, the system time cannot be changed from SENG and HIS in the
lower level domain.

3.1.6 Output Enable Operation

How to enable the outputs, the detailed procedure and how to start the output module will
be explained in this section.
n Overview on Output Enable Operation

When the operating mode of SCS is Waiting mode, some output channels are in Output Disable
status, so that they cannot output the application logic results. Moreover, after SCS is started, the
inter-SCS safety communication cannot send data to consumer side, the SCS Link Transmission
and the subsystem communication cannot function either.
The Output Enable Operation will enable the output channels to output the application logic
results, will start the inter-SCS safety communication, the SCS link transmission and the
subsystem communications.
Output Enable operation can be performed for the whole SCS only. Therefore, you cannot
enable only one of the inter-SCS safety communication, SCS Link Transmission or subsystem
communication.
n Enabling Output
Click the [Output enabled] button in the I/O Channel Status dialog box; the processing result of
the application logic is output to the field and the SCS operating mode changes to the Running
mode. Note that all nodes, all output modules and all channels must be in normal status in order
for the SCS to be changed to the Running mode. If there is any error, the status does not change
even if you perform the Output Enable Operation.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the I/O Channels Status dialog box, see the following:
3.1.4, Displaying I/O Channel Status
n Starting Output Modules

If an error serious enough to activate the Output Shutoff switch occurs, there is a case where
the output module stops its output and waits for the Output Module Start depending on an error
cause. Perform the Start Output Module operation to start the output modules whose output is
stopped.
The Start Output Module operation is performed individually. It can be performed regardless of
the SCS security level.
The SCS continues to be in the Waiting mode even after the Start Output Module operation is
completed. The channel in the Output Disable status will not change to Output Enable, either.
Perform the Output Enable operation to change channels in the output disabled state to the
output enabled state.
l Start Output Module Operation

Select the output module whose output is stopped in Hardware Configuration Tree View of the
SCS State Management window. Click Start output module button on the toolbar. The output
module selected in the SCS State Management window starts up. The output from all channels
will continue to be 0 even after the output module starts up. Perform the Output Enable
Operation. The output module is connected to the output of application logic and the result of the
application logic is output from the module.
Note that this Start Output Module operation does not influence the output modules of which the
Output Shutoff switch has not been actuated.

3.1.7 IOM Download

IOM Download is used to download the input/output configuration information stored in
the master database of an SCS project to input/output modules that have been replaced
due to a malfunction, etc.
After mounting an input/output module to a node or replacing it, it is necessary to
perform IOM Download to download the definition data to it. IOM Download must
also be performed if the standby input/output module is replaced in a dual redundant
configuration. Note that the target of IOM Download is limited to the input/output modules
that are not in the Ready status.
In the case of SCS with R2.03 or later system program, the option of automatic IOM
download is possible to select. This function doesnt require manual operation from
SENG. When this option is selected on the SCS Constants Builder and the standby
side AIO/DIO module in a dual-redundant configuration is replaced, the automatic IOM
download takes place immediately after the module is mounted.
IMPORTANT
The SCS continues to be in the Waiting mode even if you perform IOM Download to the
output modules. Perform the Output Enable Operation to change channels in the output
disabled state to the output enabled state.
When IOM download is performed, the communication program is downloaded to the
communication module, and then the module restarts. The communication begins so that
the Output Enable Operation is unnecessary.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the Output Enable Operation, see the following:
For more information about setting for automatic IOM download, see the following:

n IOM Download Operation

Click IOM Load button on the toolbar of the SCS State Management window. The IOM Load
dialog box appears. If you click the [OK] button, the input/output configuration information is
downloaded to the input/output module selected in the SCS State Management window. The
downloaded information is stored in the non-volatile memory of the input/output module.
Once the information is downloaded to the input/output module, the SCS performs a startup
operation for the input/output module. Check the result of the IOM Download from diagnostic
information messages.
Since the input/output configuration information stored in the SCS project master database is
downloaded, the information previously downloaded to the input/output module is downloaded
again even if the SCS project is being changed.

maintained by the SCS. Diagnostic information messages are the notifications to the
users regarding the diagnosis as well as the required necessary actions and maintenance
records. From these diagnostic information messages, the location where the error
occurred, the cause of the error, the degree of risk, etc., can be identified.
The engineers check the diagnostic information messages for hardware errors,
communication errors, etc., in the safety system, and can examine the error causes by
referencing the diagnostic information message help function.

n Starting the Window for Online Monitoring

Lock windows can be launched while SCS Manager is in the editing mode or debug mode.
In the case of online monitoring-related windows other than Lock windows, online monitoring is
enabled when SCS Manager enters the logic simulation mode or debug mode.
To enter the debug mode, select [Debug] from the [Debug] menu of SCS Manager.
n Online Monitoring and Security

The forcing operation on the Online Monitoring related windows depends on defined the SCS
security levels. Moreover, the capability for accessing the POU also depends on the database
security level as well as the password set for the POU.
l Relationship with SCS Security Levels

Lock windows can be used when the SCS security level is either Level 1 or Level 0. Other online
monitoring-related windows can be used at any SCS security level.
Use windows related to online monitoring at security Level 2 to monitor the application logic
status without changing values of variables and other data inadvertently.
Lower the security level and use the forcing function to specify variables in the online
monitoring window.
l Relationship with Database Security

On the Online Monitoring related windows, the POU can always be accessed in read-only mode
regardless if the SCS project and the library are in read-only mode or protected by a password.
The accessibilities of the POU vary with password protection. How POU can be accessed is
shown as follows:
When accessing a POU without password protection, the POU can be opened in read-only
mode.
When accessing a POU with password protection, password entry is required for the first
time opening the POU, and the POU will be opened in read-only mode. From the second
time, the POU will be opened in read-only mode without prompting for password.
When accessing a POU with password protection, the POU cannot be opened unless the
password is properly entered.

enough free space. (Default Max. Disk capacity: 800MB) Monitoring for the Maximum Capacity
is performed every 30 seconds. If the disk usage for the disk cache exceeds the Maximum
Capacity, oldest files are deleted to keep the usage rate of the disk cache at 98% to 100%.
For your information, 1MB can contain about 8000 Diagnostic Information messages or 16000
events. The cache file is stored for each station. SOE including Trip and Diagnostic Information
messages are stored separately in the cache file. If you want to keep the old cache files
undeleted, save the files in a separate folder or media from the [Save Disk Cache] dialog box.

No selections related to character string patterns are applied.
[Used]
Selections related to character string patterns are applied. Specify the desired patterns to be
matched.
It is possible to use wildcards of asterisks (*) and question marks (?) in the character string
patterns. * placed in front of a character string indicates any number of arbitrary characters
before the character string. If an asterisk is placed after a character string, the wildcard indicates
any number of arbitrary characters after the character string. ? is a wildcard indicating one
arbitrary character. If multiple character string patterns are specified for one pattern type (e.g.,
multiple character string patterns are specified for Message ID only), the filtering result includes
all messages matching any of the specified patterns (patterns are combined using OR condition).
If two or more pattern types are specified (e.g., a character string pattern is specified for Message
ID and Resource), the result includes only messages that match all of the specified patterns
(patterns are combined using AND condition).
In the pattern example shown in the figure above, all messages satisfying the following
conditions are displayed:
Message(s) whose message ID starts with 1101 or 1102 and whose resource name ends with
SCS0101 and whose message text includes 1 or System somewhere in the message.
TIP
Specified filter patterns are not deleted by selecting [Not Used] in order to avoid re-entering conditions from
scratch in case the specified filter patterns may be needed again. If the patterns are needed again, change the
option to [Used].

analyzing events from relevant information using filtering. This section explains typical
operations in the event mode of SOE Viewer.
n Activating the Event Mode

When you start SOE Viewer, the event mode is automatically activated. When you start up SOE
Viewer for the first time, no data source is setup. Specify one or more data sources in the SOE
Viewer Properties dialog box.
Properties can be set by reading an SOE Viewer configuration file set and saved in advance. If
an SOE Viewer configuration file is read, the name of the file is displayed in the title bar of SOE
Viewer. If it is desired to change the display to the event mode while SOE Viewer is in the trip
mode, click Event Mode button on the toolbar. Alternatively, select [Event Mode] in the [View]
menu. SOE Viewer switches to the event mode.
n Data Source Query

If a query is executed, event messages matching the date/time and the data source parameters
specified in the SOE Viewer Properties dialog box are acquired, up to the maximum number of
records. The event messages are displayed in the message record list of SOE Viewer.
In order to execute a query, click Execute Query button on the toolbar. Alternatively, select
[Execute Query] in the [Action] menu.
n Message Filtering
The filtering function is used to select only messages of interest among the displayed messages.
Filtering by data source is performed based on the message type, message status and filtering
pattern settings in the Source Filter tab of the SOE Viewer Properties dialog box. It is possible to
set different filtering settings for each data source.
In order to apply filtering, click Filter data button on the toolbar. Alternatively, select [Filter
Results] in the [Action] menu. The results of the current query are filtered automatically; it is not
necessary to execute a query anew.
To view all messages without applying filtering, click Clear Filter button on the toolbar.

<5.2 IOM Control Right Switching Tool> 5-10
5.2 IOM Control Right Switching Tool

The IOM Control Right Switching Tool is used for switching between the control side
and the standby side of the pair of AIO/DIO modules placed in redundant configuration.
However, this tool can not be used for the redundantly configured communication
modules.
This section explains the operation procedures.
n Overview of the IOM Control Right Switching Tool

The IOM Control Right Switching Tool is used for switching between the control side and the
standby side of the pair of AIO/DIO modules for which redundant configuration is specified in I/O
Wiring View. It is possible to perform a switching operation for one AIO/DIO module pair or one
node in one operation.
This tool can be used when the SCS security level is 1 or 0.
TIP
The IOM Control Right Switching Tool is not used to display the status of AIO/DIO modules or to perform
operations related to the status of AIO/DIO modules.
l Precautions at Starting the IOM Control Right Switching Tool

This tool can be used even if an SCS project is started in SCS Manager. Note, however, that if a
download operation and an AIO/DIO module control right switching operation are performed at
the same time, an error occurs in one of the operations. Moreover, the control right of AIO/DIO
modules cannot be switched during checking in/out in Version Control or executing the Master
Database Restoring Function.

n How to Start the IOM Control Right Switching Tool

Double-click the following command in Windows Explorer to start the tool.
(ProSafe-RS installation destination top folder) \ProSafe-RS\YOKOGAWA\scs\tool\

SCS project is the one downloaded to the SCS. It is possible to select the folder from the
folder selection dialog box displayed by clicking the [Browse] button.
2. In the switch continue mode specification area, select [Acknowledgement] or [No
Acknowledgement].
This selection decides whether or not to display a confirmation dialog box when switching
is to be done for multiple AIO/DIO modules in a series. If you select [Acknowledgement], a
confirmation dialog box will appear when switching for a certain AIO/DIO module has failed,
asking you whether to continue switching for the rest of the modules.
3. Redundant AIO/DIO modules in the SCS project specified in the SCS project path display
area are displayed in a tree format in the I/O list display area. Select either the AIO/DIO
module or node for which the control right is to be switched. Only one AIO/DIO module or
one node can be selected at a time. Note that a station name cannot be selected.
