5 FCS FUNCTIONS
Objectives: This sections covers common functions related to the FCS. The trainee will learn how to set up the basic FCS parameters that need to be defined before control functions can be defined.
5.1 FCS DEFINITION
5.1.1 Creating A New FCS
When a project is created, an FCS is automatically created. A new FCS can be added in one of two ways:
1. Select [FILE] [CREATE NEW] [FCS] 2. Click on an existing FCS in the System View and drag it to the Project Name.
A dialog box will appear titled Create New FCS. The items to configure are as follows:
Type Constant Constant2 State Transition Line Network Edit
See below for detailed information on configuration of these items. A new folder within the project will appear titled: FCSxxyy, where xx is the Domain number and yy is the Station number.
Within the FCS folder are eight sub-folders:
CONFIGURATION contains the FCS configuration items SEQ LIBRARY contains SEBOL definition items IOM contains I/O card and point definition items SWITCH contains internal switch definition items MESSAGE contains message definition items FUNCTION BLOCK contains control drawings for defining plant control functions DISPLAY contains control drawings in graphical display format APPLICATION
TE 33AU1C3-01 5-2 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions 5.1.2 FCS Property Configuration
The PROPERTIES dialog box appears for an FCS under the following circumstances:
1. The FCS is first created 2. Clicking on StnDef in the Configuration Folder of an existing FCS with the right mouse button and selecting properties.
There are five tabs in the dialog box and the configuration items within each are as follows:
5.1.2.1 Type
Station type (only available when first defining project)
Select from the different types of FCSs available according to Section 2.4.2 (System Configuration)
Database Type (only available when first defining project)
Select from the different module mixes appropriate for your application according to Section 2.4.4 (System Configuration).
Station Address
1. Station Number a number between 1 and 64. Note that it is the convention to start from 1 and count-up for each new FCS. This address must match the address on the CPU card. 2. Domain Number this number must match the domain on the CPU card
5.1.2.2 Constant
Fast/Medium Scan Enable the fast and medium scan facility in the FCS. Fast & medium scan can be set between 50 and 1000 msec, although the menu provides 200 and 500 msec only. Any function block set to fast or medium scan will have this scan rate. See section 5.3 for design considerations when using scan rates.
MC Block Set the pulse width (seconds) for the output pulsing of a Motor Control block. This, and serial start up are discussed further in section 6.2.
Options Select from a list of optional software to be loaded into the FCS and add it to the list (eg, dual redundant serial card software)
MLD-SW AUT/CAS Defines the function of the AUT/CAS mode for this module. See section 6.2 for more details.
TE 33AU1C3-01 5-3 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions Action When Changing IOM If Block IOP is selected, when a single analog card is removed, all cards in the same nest go to IOP
Action Type of SEBOL drive Statement - There are 3 action types of SEBOL drive statement that may be specified. See the section on SEBOL for the different action types for the "drive" statement.
Blocks with User-Defined Data Items - When using blocks with user-defined data items (SFC block, unit instrument), a specific area for the user-defined blocks needs to be specified. [Number of Block Type] displays the allowed number of block types for the current type of FCS database. [Block-type start number] may be set with reference of the [Number of Block Type]. For example, if the allowed number of block types is 20 for both FCS0101 and FCS0102, and the [Block-type start number] for FCS0101 is set to 0, the areas from 0 to 19 is re-served for FCS0101. Thus the [Block-type start number] for FCS0102 may be set to 20 or greater.
5.1.2.3 Constant2
SS-DUAL PV Update during Deviation Alarm - When checked, if a deviation alarm occurs when the switch position is 3, the data status of PV will become BAD but the PV itself will continue to update vary with the selected input signal. The default is not checked, so that when a deviation alarm occurs, the SS-DUAL will hold its current PV.
5.1.2.4 Line
Define dual-redundant RIO Bus (see Section 1) and if repeaters are installed. Only available when first defining project. 5.1.2.5 Network
Refer to the Section 2 on System Configuration for more details
5.1.2.6 Edit
Define if control drawing builder is being used. If not selected, function block definition table is used. Only available when first defining project. TE 33AU1C3-01 5-4 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions
5.2 FCS CONSTANTS
The FCS Definition panel appears when the StnDef icon is double clicked. Note that not all the tabs appear when first called up. These appear when Detailed setting Items in the View menu is selected. The following tab items appear:
Definition Item Detailed Setting Items
5.2.1 Definition Item
5.2.1.1 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 as follows:
Manual - Initial Cold Start Auto - Restart Time - Initial Cold Start after long term power failure - Restart after short term power failure
See IM 33S1B30-01E Section C2 for more details on the Start Operation.
5.2.1.2 Digital Filter Coefficient
There are three kinds of digital filter coefficients. These digital filter coefficients are set by the FCS Constant Definition builder for each FCS.
Digital Filter Coefficient 1: 0 to 1.00 (0.01 unit) Digital Filter Coefficient 2: 0 to 1.00 (0.01 unit) Digital Filter Coefficient 3: 0 to 1.00 (0.001 unit)
The defaults for these digital filter coefficients are set to the values indicated below.
Digital Filter Coefficient 1: 0.5 - (When the digital filter coefficient is 0.5 and scan period is 1 second, the time constant is 1 second) Digital Filter Coefficient 2: 0.75 - (When the digital filter coefficient is 0.75 and scan period is 1 second, the time constant is 3 seconds) Digital Filter Coefficient 3: 0.875 - (When the digital filter coefficient is 0.875 and scan period is 1 second, the time constant is 7 seconds) TE 33AU1C3-01 5-5 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions
5.2.2 Detailed Setting Items
Defines the operation group in which the FCS resides.
5.2.2.1 Windup Operation
Windup operation is a preparatory processing for organizing time-series data that are required for control operations. The function blocks input signal processing, control processing, calculation processing and alarm processing executed during windup operation are executed in the same manner as in normal operation. All output signal processing, except for the one that outputs control output signals to the process output terminal, are executed in the same manner as in normal operation.
Sequence table blocks dont operate while windup operation is running.
The windup operation time is set on the FCS constant definition builder. Wind Up Time: Set 0 to 100 (sec.). The default is 60 sec.
5.2.2.2 Idle Time in Processing at FCS
The setting of the processing executed in the idle time in FCSs CPU is defined in SEBOL/User C time ratio on the FCS constant definition builder. This time ratio is set as [100 %] as default, means the total idle time of the FCS CPU is used by SEBOL.
5.2.2.3 Repeated Warning Alarm
The repeated warning alarm retransmits a process alarm message to notify the operator that a critical alarm is continuing to occur.
The cycle of the repeated warning alarm is defined for each control station in the FCS Constant Definition Builder.
Repeated warning alarm cycle: The setting value is between 1 to 3600 seconds. Default is 600 seconds
5.2.2.4 Alarm Mask Specification for Initial Cold Start
The repeated warning alarm has a function in which at initial cold start (include recovery from a long period of power failure) of the FCS, only the high-priority alarms are picked up from all the alarms and issued to the operation and monitoring function. TE 33AU1C3-01 5-6 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions
When the initial cold start for the FCS is executed, as a rule, only the alarms that were newly activated after start are transmitted to the operation and monitoring function by the alarm mask function. However, for the alarms that are set as repeated warning, if alarm is in process, the process alarm message is transmitted even though it was not newly activated.
However, if it is set as alarm mask disabled in the FCS constant definition builder, every alarm that is in progress will be classified as newly activated, and the process alarm messages will be issued at initial cold start.
5.2.2.5 Inter-Station Communication Period
The inter-station communication period is the time required to complete all inter- station data link processing within an FCS. It is specified in the FCS constant definition builder as an FCS-specific constant. The default is one second.
5.2.2.6 Re-transmission skip when Communication Error detected
When a communication error is detected during inter-station data link processing, interstation communication transmission skips for a period of time then retries the transmission in the interval of this skip period. This re-transmission skip period is expressed as follows:
Re-transmission skip period = (Inter-station communication period) / (re-transmission skip time) TE 33AU1C3-01 5-7 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions 5.3 Idle Time and Scan Rate Considerations
The FCS CPU performs its functions at a fixed scan rate. Generally most functions are performed at a 1 second scan.
The highest priority tasks are the Operating System house-keeping functions and the Function Block execution. Other tasks are performed in the time left within the scan. This period is known as the idle time.
O/S Fns Function Block Processing Idle Time Scan 1 Scan 2 Scan 3 200 msec Function Block Processing Idle Time Read Inputs from FIO card Write outputs to FIO card
O/S Fns The Operating System functions also include the Vnet functions, such as communication of data to the HIS, and ADLs to other FCS. This has the highest priority.
Function Block Processing this includes reading the required I/O from the FIO (or SIO or RIO) bus card, performing all of the basic scan (1 sec) function block processing (except SEBOL, C and SFCs), and writing the outputs to the FIO card.
Idle Time all of the low priority tasks are performed during the idle time. This includes SEBOL and C programs. There is no guarantee that these functions will be completed within the scan, or even at all, if there is no idle time.
Idle time is monitored on the FCS Status Display (HIS Operator screen) and is expressed in seconds/minute. It is an average of the idle time from all of the scans. Thus:
an idle time of 60 secs/minutes means no load an idle time of 0 secs/minute means full load
If the function block processing takes more than 1 second, the CPU will complete the rest of the processing in the next scan (after the operating system functions) before starting the next function block processing cycle. As such, the FCS will continue to control the plant satisfactorily. However, timers will run slow, as these are actually counters that count 1 second per scan.
Fast and Medium scan blocks are executed during the period between the system functions and the end of the cycle. Each of these have an idle time, and the total idle time is significantly affect by the processing of high speed blocks. TE 33AU1C3-01 5-8 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions
5.4 Process I/O Definition - LFCS/PFCS
The physical specification and installation of process I/O was described in section 1, System Overview. This section described the process of defining I/O in software through System View.
5.4.1 Procedure
First, a NODE must be created. This is a subfolder within the IOM folder. The total number of Nodes that can be created for one FCS is 8. Once these are created, I/O cards can be placed within them
To create a new NODE and I/O module:
1. Open an FCS folder 2. Click on the IOM folder 3. Either Select [Create New] from the File menu Or Click on the IOM folder with the right mouse button and select [Create New] 4. If the control station is a PFCS then goto step 6. If it is a LFCS, then a Node must be created for the IOM to be placed in. Select [NODE] 5. Select the node number and click on [OK] 6. Select [Create New], [IOM] 7. A dialog box appears where the nest and card type are selected. See Section 1 for details of the nests and cards available.
TE 33AU1C3-01 5-9 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions 5.4.2 Node Definition
When a new LFCS is added, one node is automatically created. You can create more nodes, delete existing nodes and change node properties.
The following are node setting items:
Node Number
The node number is a number to identify a node, which is set between 1 to 8. The default is 1. The value set must match the dip switches on the RIO bus card of the node.
Dual-Redundant Power Supply
Select Yes or No for dual-redundant power supply. The nodes usually supplied have dual redundant power supplies.
Installed Method
Select Cabinet or Rack to install nodes. The nodes supplied here are rack mounted.
HKU Set
Select Yes if you use a housekeeping unit (HKU), No if you do not. The default is No. If the air aspiration and exhaustion temperatures are 35 degrees C or more and 40 degrees C or more in the I/O Expansion Cabinet respectively, the HKU turns on a fan to check a rise in the temperature.
Component Number
The component number is a number given to the cabinet to install FCS units, which is used to identify where to connect a cable. Up to 8 characters can be used for the number. No characters are entered as the default. This field may be left blank.
Node Comment
Up to 24 single-byte characters or 12 double-byte characters can be used for the node comment. No characters are entered at the default. This field may be left blank.
Start Mode
TE 33AU1C3-01 5-10 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions This is the start mode on I/O units. Set time within 1 to 16,000 msec, or select MAN (manual). The default is 2,000 msec. This item is set with for each I/O module defined.
Initial Cold (MAN) Start for Process I/O area
Initial cold start for process I/O is started with the value the output module actually outputs at operation start. An initial cold start is executed for recovery from prolonged power failure, power disconnection for maintenance, or termination of transmission due to transient failure.
The following describes the output operation of initial cold start for process I/O area.
Upon completion of maintenance of power recovery, output is started from tight shut status (analog output) or from OFF status (contact output). For recovery from termination of transmission due to transient failure, output is started with the actual output value of PIO immediately before recovery.
Restart for Process I/O area
Restart for Process I/O area is a start operation in which output operation is started after the output value immediately before is recovered. Restart is executed at recovery from momentary power failure.
The following describes the output operation of restart operation for process I/O area.
Begin output after restoring the output value to the saved output value immediately before the power failure. Even though output data in the output module is erased by a power failure, the RIO bus interface card (RB301) independently restores the last output value.
High Speed Read Data
Select Yes or No for high-speed read data of I/O units. The default is No. This item is set with each I/O module defined. TE 33AU1C3-01 5-11 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions

The IOM details are defined in the IOM definition builder. Selectable items vary with the IOM type. The selection list and default value for each IOM type are shown in the table below.
Table 5.3 - Selection Lists and Default Values for IOM Details Setting
TE 33AU1C3-01 5-21 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions Dual Redundant - Control I/O
The dual redundant can be specified Enable/Disable in the IOM definition builder. 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 as Enable to the IOM, the signal of the duplex source will be copied to its corresponding duplex destination. Once the signal is copied, definition change on the duplex destination IOM become impossible.
The table below shows the relationship between terminal numbers of duplex source IOMs and destination IOMs.
If the entries in the fields (e.g., Maximum Range, Dual Redundant) except for the Signal Details 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 Details 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.

TE 33AU1C3-01 5-23 YOKOGAWA TRAINING Section 5. CS3000 FCS Functions
Output Open Detection (OOPE) - Control I/O
The detection for wire breakage (output open) of the output signal can be defined in the IOM definition builder. The default is Enabled.
This is available for current outputs only (not voltage).
Set Fallback (FBEN) - Control I/O
On the IOM definition builder, fallback may be set. The default setting is no fallback.
When check the Set Fallback item, then it is required to check the option button for either Maintain Current Value or Output data. The default option is Maintain Current Value.
When not check the Set Fallback item, the current value will be held when the processor unit or the interface of the processor unit fails. However, the occurrence of the abnormality will not be notified even when the failed processor unit or the interface of the processor unit returns to normal state.
This is available for both current and voltage outputs.
Fallback Output Value (FBOUT) - Control I/O
The output data value (FBOUT) for fallback may be defined on IOM definition builder. Up to 5 digits may be used for FBOUT, the range for current output is -17.2 to 112.5 while the range for voltage output is -25.0 to 225.0 (unit: %). There is no default setting. The output data value (FBOUT) may be defined only when the "Set Fallback" item is checked.
All Resistance Value (RESIST) - Control I/O

In subsystem communication, subsystem data are identified by the element numbers. This section explains the identification method of the analog data and contact I/O data that are assigned to the regulatory control block, sequence control block and other blocks.
Element Numbers for Data Handled by Subsystem
Data handled by subsystem are identified by their element numbers. There are the following two types of element numbers.
Table Element Numbers for Subsystem Data
Access method Element number Explanation Word data %WWnnnn nnnn is a number within the area. The head is 0001. Bit data %WBnnnnbb nnnn is a number within the area. The head is 0001. bb is a bit number (1 to 16) within the word. The most significant bit is 1.
The same data may be accessed both in word units and bit units. For example, each bit in the 16-bit data %WW0020 can be accessed respectively as %WB002001 to %WB002016.
