● Migrated-FCS (RFCS5) £
The RFCS5 is configured by replacing the Station Control Nest of existing CENTUM V or
CENTUM-XL field control station with the Field Control Unit (FCU) of the CS 3000 KFCS2.
Since an SI bus interface card is mounted in the replacing FCU, the existing I/O nest area
can be connected to the FCU via the SI bus.
In addition, since an ESB bus interface card is mounted in the replacing FCU, the PI/O
components of the KFCS can be connected to the FCU via the ESB bus.
The following four station types are available for the RFCS5 that uses the SI bus:
• AFG81S Field Control Station (SIO/FIO, CENTUM V Migration Type)
• AFG81D Duplexed Field Control Station (SIO/FIO, CENTUM V Migration Type)
• AFG82S Field Control Station (SIO/FIO, CENTUM-XL Migration Type)
• AFG82D Duplexed Field Control Station (SIO/FIO, CENTUM-XL Migration Type)
SEE ALSO
For more information about RFCS5 and the SIO bus, see the following:
Migrated-FCS (FIO) (IM 33Q01B41-01E)
By replacing both the station control nest and input/output nest components the existing
CENTUM V or CENTUM-XL control station with the FCU of the KFCS2 and the PI/O
components, the existing signal conditioners can be connected to the replacing PI/O
components. In this case, an ESB bus interface card is mounted in the replacing FCU that
does not contain an SI bus interface card.
The following four station types are available for the RFCS5 that uses an ESB bus instead
of an SI bus:
• AFG83S Field Control Station (FIO, CENTUM V Migration Type)
• AFG83D Duplexed Field Control Station (FIO, CENTUM V Migration Type)
• AFG84S Field Control Station (FIO, CENTUM-XL Migration Type)
• AFG84D Duplexed Field Control Station (FIO, CENTUM-XL Migration Type)
RFCS5 is provided with an LFS1330 package “Control Function for Enhanced Field Control
Station (FIO)” as its basic software.

The FCS has the following function blocks for executing the basic control.
● 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.

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:
● 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).
■ 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.

IMPORTANT
When using Multipoint Control Analog I/O Module with signal conversion connector
(AMC80/ZVM) , the following points need to be noted.
AMC80/ZVM is the Multipoint Control Analog I/O Module (AMC80) attached with a signal
conversion connector (in which, the output is converted to 1 to 5 V DC, pin-assignment is
rearranged).
The pin arrangement of AMC80/ZVM assigns the channels 1 to 8 for input and channel 9 to
16 for output; while on the AMC80 I/O builder, the odd number channels for input and the
even number channels for output. The relations between the signal channels on AMC80
connector and on AMC80 I/O builder are shown as follows.

• Among Thermocouple input modules and Resistance Temperature Detector input
modules, some (AAM21J, AMM22TJ, AMM25C, AMM32TJ, AMM32CJ) conform to
new JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) while some others (AAM21, AMM22T,
AMM32T, AMM32C) conform to old JIS. Except for AMM25C, the CS 1000/CS 3000
Software does not distinguish the difference between the two types, and only use the
old JIS model names for both types of modules. In this chapter, unless otherwise
specified, AAM21/AMM22/AMM32T/AMM32C stand for both new JIS and old JIS type
modules.
• When implementing the Current/Voltage input modules for BRAIN transmitters
(AAM11B), the required software package is option package. For details on the option
package, contact Yokogawa sales department.
*1: AAM11B is a kind module that can be installed in control I/O unit (AMN11/AMN12) for connecting to the transmitters
with BRAIN communication functions. When applied with current input, it can communicate with BRAIN transmitters,
while with voltage input, it can only perform the same function as an AAM11 module.
*2: ¡ £ Can only be used in PFCS or in SFCS. AMM12T, AMM22M and AMM22T are Terminal Type multiplexer
modules, they can be combined with other connector type modules in an AMN32 Connector Type I/O Module Nest.
TIP
In SFCS or PFCS, connector type multiplexer modules (AMM12C/AMM22C/AMM32C/ AMM25C) can be
installed together with terminal type multiplexer modules (AMM12T/AMM22M/AMM22T) into the same I/
O module nest (AMN32). When both types are installed in the same AMN32, the width of the module

*1: [16-Channel Voltage Input, Isolated] and [16-Channel Voltage Input (-10 to 10 V), Isolated], two types of AAV144-S
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.
*3: On IOM Builder for Analog Input and Output (HART Compatible) modules, element number is indicated as
%Znnusmm. When “s” is set to 2, the element is used as a HART variable channel. When “s” is set to 1, the element is
used as an analog input channel.
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 block’s 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.
SEE ALSO

■ Analog Input
Analog inputs are the DC current or DC voltage analog signals from the field equipment
connected to the FCS.
The following types of signal can be used as analog inputs.
• Current Input
• Voltage Input
• mV Input
• Thermocouple Input
• Resistance Temperature Detector Input
• Potentiometer Input
• Pulse Input
All the data passed into the IOM is transmitted to PI/O image of the processor unit and
accessed at the beginning of every basic scan cycle or high-speed scan cycle of the
function blocks.
■ Analog Output
Analog output are the DC current or DC voltage analog signals output from FCS to the field
equipment.
The following types of signal can be used as analog outputs.
• Current Output
• Voltage Output

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.

The contact I/O consist of the following eight types of I/O inputs.
• Status Input
• Pushbutton Input
• Status/Pushbutton Input
• Status Output
• Pulse-Width Output (Including Time-Proportion ON/OFF Output)
• Status/Pulse-Width Output
• Status/Pulse-Width Output (Local Nodes Only)
• ST Compatible (No-Voltage Contact I/O Signals) (*1)
*1: ST Compatible means the I/O modules are compatible with the CENTUM V and CENTUM-XL ST2, ST3, ST4, ST5,
ST6 and ST7 modules which handle No-Voltage contact I/O signals. The I/O signals can be handled by ST compatible
modules are:
Status Input
Pushbutton Input
Status Output/Pulse-Width Output
Status Input/Status Output/Pulse-Width Output
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.
Note: • Yes in Redundancy column means the module supports dual-redundant configuration, and Yes in Remote column
means the module can be installed in a remote node.
• No in Redundancy column means the module does not support dual-redundant configuration, and No in Remote
column means the module can not be installed in a remote node.
*1: Can be applied only in the field control units that support dual-redundant configuration (AFS30D, AFS40D, AFG30D
and AFG40D).
*2: When this type of I/O module is installed in a remote node, the updating rate of inputs is about 2 or 4 times slower than
the status input I/O module installed in the remote node.
SEE ALSO
• Dual-redundant configuration for status output modules in CENTUM-XL and in KFCS2/KFCS are differ-
ent. For more information about it, see the following:
“■ Dual-Redundant Configuration of I/O Modules : KFCS2/KFCS £” in B4.2, “Dual-Redundant Ar-
chitecture of KFCS2 and KFCS”

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.
The following Status Output/Pulse-Width Output modules can freely assign each point to
either Status Output or Pulse-Width Output.
• Status Output/Pulse-Width Output module (Local Nodes Only)
ADV551-P, ADV-561P, ADR541-P
• ST Compatible (No-Voltage Contact I/O Signals)
ADV859-P, ADV559-P, ADV869-P, ADV569-P
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.
■ 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 valve’s 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.

■ 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.

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

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.

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.
TIP
On the builder for the I/O modules that support HART communication, there are two tabs, [Analog Data]
and [HART Variable]. The settings regarding to analog I/O data are set on the [Analog Data] tab, while the
settings regarding to the HART variables are set on the [HART Variables] tab.

■ 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
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

TIP
¡ £ Global switches can be applied to all Field control stations except standard PFCS (CS 1000).
● 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:
● 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

■ Error Detection
FCS detects the following errors.
*1: In addition to the situation in which CPU cannot continue control, this applies to the situation in which the error may
badly affect other equipment connected to the same control bus.
*1: In addition to the situation in which CPU cannot continue control, this applies to the situation in which the error may
badly affect other equipment connected to the same control bus.
● 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.
■ 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.

*1: The status of process I/O, software I/O, various function blocks, and SEBOL control function within FCS change.
● 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 FCS’s cause of start includes “Power on” and “CPU START.”
● Power on
This is to turn on the power to PFCS.
● CPU START
This is to start the operation of PFCS, which is in a station STOP status, using a method
other than “Power on.”
There are three methods of CPU START as described below.
• Completion of on-line loading to FCS
• FCS START command received from HIS
• Start operation triggered from FCS control panel
When the FCS in station STOP status executes the start operation, the initial cold start
must be executed regardless of start condition.
SEE ALSO
• For more information about initial cold start operation, see the following:
B2.1.2, “FCS Initial Cold Start”
• For more information about restart operation, see the following:
B2.1.3, “FCS Restart”
When the FCU in station STOP status executes the start operation, the initial cold start
must be executed regardless of start condition.

● Momentary Power Failure (Momentary Power Failure Tolerant Time > FCS
Power Failure Time) : PFCS/SFCS
Momentary power failure means that the FCS power failure time elapsed is smaller than
the specified momentary power failure tolerant time.
Restart is executed when the power failure is a momentary power failure.
● Momentary Power Failure (Momentary Power Failure Tolerant Time > FCU
Power Failure Time) : KFCS2/KFCS/LFCS2/LFCS £
Momentary power failure means that the FCU power failure time elapsed is smaller than
the specified momentary power failure tolerant time.
Restart is executed when the power failure is judged as a momentary power failure.

Figure Processing Executed at Initial Cold Start after Prolonged Power Failure
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.
For example, when recovering from prolonged power failure (timer specified, FCS power
failure timeⱖT, 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.

■ Windup Operation
▼ Wind Up Time
Windup operation is a preparatory processing for organizing time-series data that are
required for control operations. The function block’s 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 don’t operate while windup operation is
running.
The windup operation time can be set on the FCS Constant Builder.

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

*1: If a repeated warning alarm occurs at start operation, process alarm message is output assuming that a new alarm is
created. As long as the alarm status lasts, the repeated warning alarm message is continuously output at regular
intervals. If specified, all alarm messages occurred at initial cold start can be output.

• At restart
When restart, the function blocks connected to process I/O restore to their previous
block mode before the power failure.

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

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.
*1: The process data and function block operation at the time of a prolonged node power failure will be the process data
and function block operation at the time of a momentary node power failure, until the elapsed time of node’s no-
response period reaches the momentary node power failure identification time.

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.

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.

In an FCS initial cold start operation when recovering from a system power failure, the FCU
masks any remote node abnormality for approximately 5 seconds after the startup even if
the remote node starts up after the FCU does.
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.

The output status immediately after PI/O power recovery and the MV value status in the

• 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 processing–either 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.
• When initial cold start is set for PI/O area and • When initial cold start is set for PI/O area start operation and
FCS start operations restart is set for FCS start operation
• When restart is set for PI/O area start operation and • When restart is set for PI/O area and FCS start operations

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.

When an I/O module fails, the following operations are performed in the function block that
is connected to I/O module.
• Sends the “PI/O Not Ready” system alarm message
• Block status changes to MAN and control operation is terminated. (MAN fallback)
For errors occurred in different locations, the following operations are performed in the
corresponding function blocks.
• “IOM Error” system alarm message is sent for I/O module error.
• For an error occurrence in the I/O unit or the bus connecting I/O unit and CPU, the
“BUS Error” system alarm message is sent while the corresponding I/O module
performs fallback operation.
• Values before the error occurrence are held as the input value. The data status
changes to LPFL.
The system operation that is performed when the I/O module is in the maintenance state or
breakdown state consists of the following:
• I/O module output operation
For the output from an I/O module in which a breakdown has occurred, the output
value before the breakdown will be retained. However, no output will be performed for
a kind of breakdown that disables the output of the I/O module.
Initial cold start is performed for recovery from the maintenance/breakdown state of
the I/O module.
• FCS control operation

• Process I/O output operation
The I/O module mounted to the local node in which a communication error has oc-
curred as well as the I/O module of the remote node lower than that local node per-

*1: When ST compatible modules are used with dual-redundant configuration, if a module has error, the output of the
module becomes OFF.
*1: Fallback can be enabled or disabled on FOUNDATION fieldbus communication module (ALF111). However, there is no
“output value during fallback” and “hold previous value during fallback” settings when fallback is enabled. When
fallback is enabled, the field devices run the actions set for “Fault State” previously set for the devices.
*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.
■ 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
