Advanced Process Control Station (APCS)
The advanced process control station (APCS) is a station that executes control calculations
in a personal computer (PC) for the purpose of sophisticated control and efficiency im-
provement. When function block data is input from an FCS via V net, the APCS performs a
control calculation at a constant cycle using a function block of the APCS, and then outputs
that calculation result as the function block data of the FCS.
The APCS can use the standard function blocks used by the FCS.
The process control input/output cannot be connected to the APCS.
The following station type is available for the APCS:

A1.2.1 Control Calculations
Various function blocks are provided for the FCS to perform a variety of calculations
for plant control. A function block is a minimum unit used to perform a control
calculation. Various plant controls can be performed when function blocks process
signals that are input from a field device to the FCS, and the processing results are
output to other function blocks or any field devices.
The FCS has function blocks for performing the basic control and those that are
only available as options.
Basic Control
The FCS has the following function blocks for executing the basic control.
Regulatory Control Block
The regulatory control block is used to execute calculation processing mainly using the
analog process amount in order to monitor and control processes.
The regulatory control block is classified into the input indicator block, controller block,
manual loader block, signal setter block, signal limiter block, signal selector block, signal
distributor block, alarm block, pulse count control block, YS instrument block and FOUN-
DATION fieldbus faceplate block (*1).
*1: KFCS2/KFCS/RFCS5/RFCS2 can support FOUNDATION fieldbus faceplate blocks.
Calculation Block
The calculation block is used to execute general-purpose calculation processing such as
arithmetic calculation, analog calculation and logic operation for values that are input to
function blocks in order to supplement regulatory control and sequence control.
The calculation block is classified into the arithmetic calculation block, analog calculation
block, logic operation block (*1), general-purpose calculation block and calculation auxiliary
block.
*1: The logic operation block can only be used for the CS 3000.
Sequence Control Block
The sequence control is a type of control that processes each stage of control sequentially
according to the predefined conditions and order. The sequence control block is a function
block that executes sequence control.
The sequence control block is classified into the sequence table block, logic chart block,
SFC block, switch instrument block, sequence auxiliary block and valve monitor block.
Faceplate Block
The faceplate block is a function block that enables the recognition of multiple function
blocks as a single function block.
The faceplate block is classified into the analog type, sequence type and hybrid type.
IM 33S01B30-01E
SFC Block
The SFC (Sequential Function Chart) is a graphical programming language that defines
the sequence control operation.
The SFC block is a type of the sequence control block, which is also a function block that is
used to describe the SFC.
TIP
In addition to the SFC block, the SFC is also used in the following function blocks. However, a part of the
SFC specifications will vary among these function blocks.
Unit instrument
Operation
Unit Instrument
The unit instrument is a function block that performs unit supervision. The unit supervision
is a function that controls and monitors the operation of devices that compose a process
facility, collectively called a unit, in a batch process or continuous process. The unit supervi-
sion enables the operation in equipment unit by defining the part corresponding to the
equipment in the process facility as a unit and allocating the unit instrument for each unit.
Option
The following function blocks are available as options for the FCS:
Valve Pattern Monitor
The valve pattern monitor is a function block that monitors the open/close status of valves
for transfer systems in the plant.
Off-Site Block
The off-site block is a function block that controls the mixing at off-sites of oil refineries as
well as the shipments.
The off-site block is classified into the batch set control block (FSBSET) and blending
master control block (BLEND).

IM 33S01B30-01E
A1.2.2 Process Input/Output and Software Input/Output
The FCS exchanges data among the function blocks in the FCS and field devices
outside the FCS via process input/output, communication input/output or Fieldbus
input/output. Data can be exchanged by directly connecting among the function
blocks in the FCS or among FCSs. Data can also be exchanged via software input/
output.
Process Input/Output
The process input/output are used to exchange signals between field devices and FCSs.
Two types of process input/output analog input/output and contact input/output are
available depending on the type of the signal to be exchanged.

When the IN terminal of a function block is connected to a process I/O, the input from the
IOM will be converted to an engineering unit value as follows.
Suppose the raw data is 0 to 100 %
Convert the 0 to 100 % input data to SL to SH of the function block.
Suppose the raw data is a measured temperature
The input signal is used unchanged.
When the OUT terminal of the function block is connected to a process I/O, the output to
the IOM will be converted to a MV ranges from 0 % to 100 %.
The data status signals which indicate the quality of the data will be added to pass to IOM.
The input range can be specified for [mV Input], [Potentiometer Input], [Current Input] and
[Voltage Input] of AAM11 module, and [Voltage Input] of AMM12T/AMM12C modules.
The output range can be specified only for [Voltage Output] of AAM51 module.

modules are available in Type (Model) column. The range of the previous one is fixed as 1 to 5 voltages and the later
one is definable in the range of - 10 to 10 voltages. Once the Type (Model) is set, it cannot be modified with online-
modification. The resolution of [16-Channel Voltage Input (-10 to 10 V), Isolated] model is fixed as 20 mV, so that the
accuracy varies with the specified input range. Thus, 0.1% accuracy may not be maintained when the input range is
changed. If the input range is 1 to 5 voltages, it is better to use [16th-Channel Voltage Input, Isolated] type module so
as the 0.1% accuracy can be guaranteed.

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
types can be defined to the terminals of a single module.

When the IN terminal of a function block is connected to a process I/O, the input signal from
the I/O module is converted into engineering unit data as follows.
Raw Data is 0% to 100%
The input signal is indicated within 0% to 100% in accordance with the function block
scale high/low limits (SH, SL).
Raw Data is Process Variable (Engineering Unit, HART Variable)
The input signal is used as it is.
Raw Data is a Number of Pulse (with Time Stamp)
The input signal is converted to a real number by function blocks input processing for
pulse signal.
When the OUT terminal of a function block is connected to a process I/O, the out signal to
the I/O module is a 0% to 100% value converted from the manipulated output value MV.
TIP
For implementation of HART compatible modules, modification of settings can be performed only on the
PC with capability of HART communication management.

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.

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.

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 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.

A3.2.1 Contact Input
Using contact inputs, an FCS can receive ON/OFF signals from field equipment.
Contact Input
Contact inputs are ON/OFF signals from the field equipment to FCS.
The following contact input types are available.
Status input
Pushbutton input
Contact inputs indicate the status of a process signal such as valves limit switch or level
switch.
In the input processing of a sequence connection, an ON/OFF status of a contact input
together with its data status can be monitored for a condition judgment.

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
the condition signals. When applied with regulatory control blocks, a contact output can be
a pulse width contact output, a time-proportioning contact output, a two-position ON/OFF
output or a three-position ON/OFF output.

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.
IM 33S01B30-01E
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% time-
proportioning 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 mod-
ules 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-proportion-
ing output.
IM 33S01B30-01E
Types of Contact Outputs : KFCS2/KFCS
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 (PO) or Time-Proportioning
ON/OFF Output (PT).
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 oc-
curred. For modules with Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked, the mod-
ules 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.
IM 33S01B30-01E
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-propor-
tioning 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 oc-
curred. For modules with Fallback but [All points turn off] option is checked, the mod-
ules 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.

If a latched syntax is scripted in a block other than sequence table block, such as an logic

quence link are available, it will behave the same as non-latched output.
IM 33S01B30-01E
Non-Latched Contact Output
A non-latched contact output will switch to ON when the logical computation result is True
or switch to OFF when the result is False.
If the entry in the action signal field of the sequence table is a non-latched type, the output
will be ON when the rule, where the Y pattern is specified, becomes True, or will be OFF
when the rule becomes False.
For the logic chart block or other blocks in which output manipulation and terminal connec-
tion for sequence link are available, a non-latched type script will make the output ON when
the logic calculation results in True, or will make the output OFF when the logic calculation
results in False.

ON when the rule for Y action becomes True, at the same time, the sequence table will give

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.
IM 33S01B30-01E
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.

Flashing Contact Output
Flashing contact outputs switch to ON and OFF repeatedly at intervals of approximately
one second when the logical computation for the action rule of sequence table result is
True. If the logical computation result is False, the output will stop flashing, but the ON/
OFF status remains ON. To turn OFF a flashing contact output, the OFF action must be
performed using a latched type syntax.

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.
Table Dual Redundant Definition : PFCS/LFCS2/LFCS/SFCS
Duplex source 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15
Duplex destination 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16
A030309E.EPS
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.

TIP
If an item in which a setting has already been entered by default is left blank, an error will occur and the
previously set value will return. However, items that are blank by default can be left blank.
Point Mode FIO Contact Input/Output : KFCS2/KFCS
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 even-
numbered 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.
The following table lists the correspondence between the module types and point modes:

Mixing PW and TP : KFCS2/KFCS
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
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-num-
bered 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.

Filter Setting (SIN_CTL) FIO Contact Input/Output : KFCS2/KFCS
Filter Setting
The filter is set in the I/O module properties.
This filter is used for preventing malfunctions caused by contact input chattering noise. The
setting of the filter is the number of sampling; each sampling period is 2 milliseconds. So
that, the filter time equals to (setting value x 2 ms). The chattering noise with the time-span
shorter than the filter time can be filtered out. For an example, when this filter setting is 2,
the chattering noise with the time-span shorter than 4 ms (2 x 2 ms) can be filtered out.
In the property sheet for the Input/Output Module, select a filter setting from 2, 4, 8,
16, 32, 64, 128, or 256. However, for I/O module ADV151-E, an even number

Dual-Redundant Contact Input in Data Reference with Respect to Dual-Redundant Input

Dual-Redundant Contact Output in Data Setting with Respect to Dual-Redundant Output

Command Line FIO Contact Input/Output : KFCS2/KFCS
Command
Specify a special setting for each I/O module in a command line.
IMPORTANT
If the contents specified in a command line are changed, IOM configuration download will
be initiated for the I/O module. The I/O module will be placed in the Fail state during the
download. Therefore, exercise caution when changing the command lines.
This specification is performed in the I/O module properties.
The following shows the commands that can input command lines for the contact I/O
module:
CNCTCHK (Front Connector Disconnection Check) : KFCS2/KFCS
Specify whether or not to check the disconnection of the front connector. If a front connec-
tor disconnection error is detected when the front connector disconnection check is speci-
fied, the I/O module will be placed in the Fail state.
Syntax:
CNCTCHK=Yes
CNCTCHK=No
Parameter:
Yes
Front connector disconnection check is performed. (Default when the I/O module is
set as dual-redundant.)
No
Front connector disconnection check is not performed. (Default when the I/O module
is set as single.)
The CNCTCHK can only be specified for the following I/O modules:
32-channel SOE status input (ADV151-E)
Lead Breakage (LBENBL)
Specifies lead breakage check.
Syntax:
LBENBL=No
Parameter:
No
Lead breakage check is inactive (default)
Yes
Lead breakage check is active
This setting (LBENBL) is valid only for the following I/O modules.
16-Channel Status Input (ASD143-P)
16-Channel Pushbutton Input (ASD143-P)
16-Channel Status Output (ASD533-S)
Short Circuit (SCENBL)
Specifies short circuit check.
Syntax:
SCENBL=No
Parameter:
No
Short circuit check is inactive. (default)
Yes
Short circuit check is active.
This setting (SCENBL) is valid only for the following I/O modules.
16-Channel Status Input (ASD143-P)
16-Channel Pushbutton Input (ASD143-P)
Lead Breakage Mode (LBMODE)
When the output is OFF, and the loop does not allow the low-level current flow for lead
breakage check, with this setting, the lead breakage check is not active when the output is
OFF.
Syntax:
LBMODE=Yes
Parameter:
No
When the output is OFF, low-level current flows for lead breakage check. (default)
Yes
When the output is OFF, no Low-level current flows and lead breakage check be-
comes inactive.
This setting (LBMODE) is valid only for the following I/O module.
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.

In the sequence control, software inputs/outputs can be handled as targets of the condition
testing and status manipulation. They can even be handled as targets of condition testing
and status manipulation for function blocks other than sequence control function blocks, as
long as these blocks allow for sequence connection.

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 ele-
ment 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 and %SW4000.
Changing the number of system common switches can be performed on FCS properties
sheet (*2) by checking the option box [Increase Number of System Common Switches]. By
default setting, this option is checked.
*2: The option for increasing the number of system common switches is not available for SFCS.

Condition Testing and Status Manipulation for Common Switches
The syntax form for common-switch condition testing and status manipulation is shown
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.
The syntax form for condition testing is shown below.
%SWnnnn.PV.ON/OFF
%SWnnnn: Element number
ON/OFF: 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 connec-
tion 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.
The syntax form for status manipulation is shown below.
%SWnnnn.PV.H or %SWnnnn.PV.L
nnnn: Element number
H: Latched type (*1)
L: Non-latched type
*1: Latched type output is only supported by sequence table block.

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.

Extension Common Switch
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.
*1: The extension common switch can only be used in the CS 3000 system if a SFCS station is used.
<A4.2 Global Switch> A4-19
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. 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.

Scan Transmission Definitions
To transfer/receive the values of global switches between stations, define the following scan
transmission definitions on the FCS Constants Builder.
TIP
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.
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.
<A4.2 Global Switch> A4-21
Global Switch Condition Testing and Status Operation
The specified formats of condition testing and status operation for global switches are
described below.
TIP
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: Element number
mm: Station number (may be omitted if it is the present station).
ON/OFF: 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 non-
latched type.
The following formats must be used for status operation of global switches:
%GSnnn.PV.H or %GSnnn.PV.L
where
nnn: Element number
H: Latched output (*1)
L: Non-latched output
*1: Latched output can be used for sequence table blocks only.
SEE ALSO
For details of condition testing and status operation, see the following:
For latched and non-latched outputs, see the following:
A4-22 <A4.3 Annunciator Message Output (%AN)>
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.
Annunciator Message Output (%AN)
These special message outputs are used to simulate the annunciator panels of the instru-
ment panels. Unlike other message outputs, annunciator message outputs store alarm-
occurrence 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
flash to prompt the operator for acknowledgment. The alarm symbol will stop flashing once
it has been acknowledged.
Annunciator message outputs are processed at the basic scan cycles only.
<A4.3 Annunciator Message Output (%AN)> A4-23
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

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

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.
%ANnnnn.PV.ON/OFF -----Condition testing
%ANnnnn: Element number
ON/OFF: 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.
The syntax form for status manipulation is shown below.
%ANnnnn.PV.H or %ANnnnn.PV.L
%ANnnnn: Element number
H: Occurrence/recovery of a latched annunciator message (*1)
L: Occurrence/recovery of a non-latched annunciator message
*1: Latched type output is only supported by sequence table block.
In the case of latched annunciator messages, recovery can be made by N-status manipula-
tion of the sequence table. The following syntax form is for the recovery of an annunciator
message output.

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
IM 33S01B30-01E
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 warn-
ing 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.
When an alarm is active and the alarm symbol is set to flash, no annunciator message will
be output even though the repeated warning time interval is elapsed.
The timing chart of a timer-repeated warning is shown below.

This function gives the repeated warning alarm by manipulating the annunciator message
output status. When an annunciator is generating an alarm and the cause of the alarm is
still exist, repeated warnings can be output by manipulating the annunciator message
output status to set the alarm symbol flash again.
Event-repeated warnings can be applied regardless of the alarm priority. They can there-
fore be used for those annunciators without the timer-repeated warning function.
The syntax form for repeated warning status manipulation is as follows.

A4.4 Sequence Message
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
Signal event message output
SFC/SEBOL return event message output
Action of Sequence Message
The sequence message is a general term given to the output of messages from the se-
quence 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 annun-
ciator 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 correspond-
ing 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 pro-
cess data can be attached to the message with defined format. Following the printout
message, ALM will be displayed to indicate the alarm occurrence, vise versa NR is
displayed. Still will be displayed following the repeated warning alarm. (On the pro-
cess alarm window, (!) mark will be used instead of Still.)
The comment text, or the message defined on the annunciator builder will not be used
for annunciator message with data but will be used as status display on the tuning
window, process report window, and other status display windows.
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 desig-
nate 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 print-
out.
<A4.5 Annunciator Message with Data> A4-37
Usage of Annunciator Message with Data
To implement annunciator message with data, the following settings need to be done on
FCS property sheet.
Setting the Annunciator Message (%AN) Head Number, which is the first annunciator
message to be bound with a printout message.
Setting the Printing Message (%PR) Head Number, which is the first printout message
number to be bound to the annunciator.
All annunciators start from the designated head number to the last one will be implemented
as Annunciator Message with Data. When setting Annunciator Message Head Number to
zero or setting Printing Message Head Number to zero, the Annunciator Message with
Data will not function.
The following is an example, the head number of annunciator is set as 400 and the head
number of printout message is set as 100.

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 hard-
ware 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.

IM 33S01B30-01E
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.
B1-4
IM 33S01B30-01E
<B1.1 Hardware Error Detection>
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 consid-
ered 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-redun-
dancy 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 sec-
onds during communication in the same domain
<B1.1 Hardware Error Detection> B1-5
IM 33S01B30-01E
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 communica-
tion, etc., retries are performed.
B1-6
IM 33S01B30-01E
<B1.2 System Software Error Detection>
B1.2 System Software Error Detection
FCS detects errors by monitoring the system software operation on FCS. The moni-
toring 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 neces-
sary tasks to carry on controlling stops abnormally, FCS terminates immediately.
<B2. Start Operations> B2-1
IM 33S01B30-01E
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 opera-
tions 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 run-
ning 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 re-
established 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
For KFCS2 or KFCS, 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 abnor-
malities, 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 communi-
cated 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 communica-
tion 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 deter-
mined by the elapsed time of I/O units failure and the settings of [Start Mode].
Start Operation of I/O Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/LFCS2/LFCS
For KFCS2, KFCS, 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>
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.

The figure below shows the flow of FCS start operation as it switches from operation stop
status to normal operation status through either Initial cold start or Restart.

IM 33S01B30-01E
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 al-
though 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.

Start Condition : PFCS/SFCS
Start Condition
The start condition determines which method to be used, initial cold start or restart, to
initiate the FCS, upon turning on the power to FCS which was in the power shutoff status.
FCS performs either initial cold start or restart according to the specified start condition.
The start condition can be set on the FCS Constant Builder.
Start Condition
Select one from MAN (Initial Cold Start), TIME (Restart in case of momentary power
failure) or AUTO (Restart).
The default is MAN (Initial Cold Start).

initiate the FCU, upon turning on the power to FCU which was in the power shutoff status.
FCU performs either initial cold start or restart according to the specified start condition.
The start condition can be set on the FCS Constant Builder.
Start Condition
Select one from MAN (Initial Cold Start), TIME (Restart in case of momentary
power failure) or AUTO (Restart).
The default is MAN (Initial Cold Start).

Initial cold start is to reset all FCSs internal states and initiates the control opera-
tions from the complete initial status.

System initialization processing for initial cold start resets all FCSs internal states. This
processing is automatically executed by the system when FCS initiates the start operation.
Analog and contact outputs, however, will not be reset.
IM 33S01B30-01E
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 opera-
tion, 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.
B2-10
IM 33S01B30-01E
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.

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 ex-
ecuted 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.

operation is executed after restarting the suspended function block processing

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 tran-
sient 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.

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
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.

IM 33S01B30-01E
<B2.3 Start Operation of KFCS2 and KFCS Nodes>
Initial Cold Start of the Node : KFCS2/KFCS
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
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.

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.

In case of an I/O module breakdown or maintenance, the function block, which is the
connection destination of the I/O module in the FCU, performs an MAN fallback operation.
When the I/O module is recovered from the breakdown or maintenance, the initial cold start
of the I/O module is performed in the FCU, and an input/output operation between the
function block and I/O module will be resumed.

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
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

System Operation in the Remote Node Standalone Power Failure State:
KFCS2/KFCS
The remote node standalone 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 standalone 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 standalone power failure state is the same as
that in the local node standalone 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.

System Operation in FCU Power Failure State : KFCS2/KFCS
The FCU power failure state denotes a state in which only the power to the FCU goes off

However, the operation of both the ESB bus interface card (SB301) to which the power is
supplied from the FCU and the ESB bus communication stops.
In addition, the FCU performs either an initial cold start operation or restart operation of the
FCU when the power is recovered, according to the start condition setting of the FCU and
the duration of the power failure.

Output Operation of the Process I/O - FCU Power Failure : KFCS2/KFCS
An output fallback operation is performed in all I/O modules lower than the FCU in the
power failure state while in an FCU standalone 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 of the I/O module is set in the detailed settings of the IOM
Builder.

System Operation at Power Failure in FCU Alone : LFCS2/LFCS
Power failure in FCU alone 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.

System Operation in the System Power Failure State : KFCS2/KFCS
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 standalone 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:
The system power failure state occurs in cases such as a power failure of the entire instru-
ment 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 standalone power failure, a remote node
standalone power failure and an FCU standalone power failure have occurred separately.

Figure FCS Initial Cold Start Operation when a System Power Failure has Occurred : KFCS2/

When the power is recovered from a system power failure, an FCS initial cold start opera-
tion 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 sec-
onds, 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:
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.

Operation when the Power Failure Tolerant Timing Varies between the
Process I/O Area and the FCU : KFCS2/KFCS
In a system power failure, even if a power failure occurs in a node, it is not treated as the
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 standalone power failure time.
In addition, the time (T1) prior to the power failure is reset after the power is recovered, and
the time is remeasured from 0 seconds.

System Operation at System Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS
System 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 standalone power failure and an FCU standalone 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 oc-
curs, using as an example of an analog output module directly connected to the PID con-
troller 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

PI/O and FCU Start Operations at System Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS
This section explains operations when process I/O area and FCU recovered almost at the
same time, using as an example of an analog output module which is directly connected to
the PID Controller Block (PID) and PID block.
The output status immediately after PI/O power recovery and the MV value status in the
function block vary depending on the combination of PI/O and FCU start operations.

B030115E.EPS
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 Power Failure in PI/O Alone
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 power
failure in the PI/O alone 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 restart
will be performed when the power recovers. Upon completion of the FCS start opera-
tion, 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 mod-
ule 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.

ESB bus communication stops.
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.

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

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 mainte-
nance/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:

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.

curred as well as the I/O module of the remote node lower than that local node per-
form 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

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.
SEE ALSO
For the details of output operation of process I/O area and control operation of FCU during PI/O error, see
the following:
System Operation at Termination of PI/O Operation : LFCS2/LFCS
Termination of PI/O operation is a state in which normal I/O functions are stopped while
the power to the process I/O area being supplied. At this time, operation continues at the
RIO bus communication, field control unit (FCU) and all PI/O components other than the
one being stopped.
Termination of PI/O operation occurs when unmatched definition information is detected
between process I/O area and FCU.
The output operations of process I/O area and control operation of FCU at termination of
PI/O operation are the same as those during I/O module maintenance.

System Operation at Termination of RIO Bus Transmission : LFCS2/
LFCS
Termination of RIO bus transmission is a state in which RIO bus connection is severed
due to some reason and transmission between FCU and PI/O area is interrupted. At this
time, field control unit (FCU) and process I/O area continue to operate independently.
Termination of RIO bus transmission occurs when both RB301s fail or when the RIO bus is
disconnected.
The following system operations will be performed when an error occurs in the I/O module:
Output operation of the I/O module
An initial cold start will be performed upon recovery of RIO bus transmission stop state.
Control operation of FCS
MAN fallback will be performed when an error occurs in I/O module area. Output
resumes upon recovery.

RB301 control right transfer is a state in which the control side RB301 stops functioning
and the standby RB301 begins to function as the controlling RB301. Operation continues
in the process I/O before and after transfer of the control right, but RIO bus communication
stops until the transfer is completed.
The RB301 control right transfer occurs when an error is detected in the self-diagnostics of
RB301 or RB301 diagnostics in the FCU.

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 :

*1: 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.
*2: 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.
*3: 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 Down-
loading : 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
When offline download is executed to an FCS, the definition information will be down-
loaded 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 lower than
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.

Operation of I/O Module when Online Downloading is Performed :
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 speci-
fied, the PV value will be overshot to the lower limit value.
A function block that has the MAN fallback function performs an MAN fallback opera-
tion. 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.

continuous load that continues the I/O operation of I/O modules, or IOM initialization load
that stops the I/O operation of the I/O modules is executed according to the change con-
tents.
If a new I/O module has been added, or if an I/O module that does not have the matching

IOM Online Updating
The IOM stops the I/O operation of all points of the I/O modules where the definition infor-
mation 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 executd.
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.

IM 33S01B30-01E
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 millisec-
onds, 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 fluctu-
ating 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 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.

Figure Structure of the Dual-Redundant Processor Unit : PFCS
At the V net 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

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 malfunc-
tions.

ately switched to the standby side PI/O, thus the PI/O executions may be continued.

At the V net interface, a communication interface supporting dual-redundancy is

Dual-Redundant I/O Module : PFCS/SFCS
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, 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 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 periodi-
cally.
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 be-
comes 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.
IM 33S01B30-01E
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.

IOM Dual-Redundant Actions at FCS Power Failure and Different Mal-
function 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 situa-
tions 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
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.

In KFCS2/KFCS, 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

lows.

<B4.2 Dual-Redundant Architecture of KFCS2 and KFCS>
Each processor card unit has two CPUs, which perform the same control computa-
tion. 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 inver-
sion 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 Dual-Redundant Architecture of ESB Buses : KFCS2/KFCS
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.

Dual-Redundant Configuration of Enhanced Remote I/O Bus (ER Bus) :

EB401, Enhanced remote I/O buses and EB501 can be applied in dual-redundant configu-
ration.
Dual-Redundant Configuration of EB401, Enhanced Remote I/O Buses and
EB501 : KFCS2/KFCS
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 architecture.
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 stand-
ing 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.

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
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
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
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
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
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 meaning-
less.
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 dual-
redundant configuration, the output timings from the two modules are not synchronized,
thus the control loop cannot properly function.

<B4.3 Dual-Redundant Architecture of LFCS2 and LFCS>
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 com-
putation 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 inver-
sion 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 tran-
sient 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 soft-
ware 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.
Dual-Redundant PI/O Node Area : LFCS2/LFCS
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 inter-
face area and each I/O unit can be set for dual-redundancy. In the I/O module area, dual-
redundancy 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.

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.

two modules are installed into the two adjacent slots in the same unit (such as slot1 and

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 moni-
tored 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 dual-
redundant configuration, the output timings from the two modules are not synchronized,
thus the control loop cannot properly function.
