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.
n Basic Control
The FCS has the following function blocks for executing the basic control.
l 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 FOUNDATION fieldbus faceplate
block (*1).
*1: KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS/RFCS5/RFCS2 can support FOUNDATION fieldbus faceplate blocks.
l 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 blocks are applicable in all FCSs except PFCS.
l 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

l 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 supervision 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.
n Option
The following function blocks are available as options for the FCS:
l 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.
l 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).

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.
n 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.
SEE
ALSO For details on the process input/output, see the following:
A3, “Process Inputs/Outputs”
n Communication Input/Output
The communication input/output are used to access various types of data that are handled by
subsystems such as the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
SEE

n Software Input/Output
The software input/output are virtual input/output that are processed by software in the FCS.
The software input/output consist of the “internal switch” that is used to change logical values
between function blocks and other application functions, and the “message output” that is used to
communicate the occurrence of events.

<A3.2 Contact Inputs/Outputs> A3-12
A3.2 Contact Inputs/Outputs

Using contact inputs/outputs, an FCS can receive and output ON/OFF signals from/to field
equipment.
n 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.

n Contact Inputs/Outputs : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

Contact I/O indicates the I/O interfaces that receive or send ON/OFF process signals.
The ON/OFF signal of process data represented by a digital value 1 or 0, and attached with a
data status signal to represent the quality of the data.
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
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.

The models of contact I/O modules (IOM Model) and the types of I/O signals are shown as
follows.

SEE
ALSO • Dual-redundant configuration for status output modules in CENTUM-XL and in KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS are
different. For more information about it, see the following:

Architecture of KFCS2, KFCS, and FFCS”
• For more information about data updating period of remote nodes, see the following:
“l Contact I/O Data : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS” in “n Data Flow in Process I/O” of C7.1.3, “Timing of Process

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.

l 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.
• 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.
l 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.
n 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.
SEE

“l Contact I/O Data : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS”
“l Contact I/O Data : LFCS2/LFCS/SFCS”

n Condition Testing for Contact Inputs

For the function blocks or sequence table blocks and logic chart block specified in sequence
connection, the contact input signal’s ON/OFF status may be applied for condition test.

module, the segment number is set to 1 for analog input/output and set to 2 for HART variable. When using process input/output
module, the segment number is always 1.
l Condition Testing for Status Inputs

For status input signal, PV is equal to ON when the input is ON, PV is equal to OFF when the
input is OFF.
l Condition Testing for Pushbutton Inputs

For pushbutton input signal, a change of the input from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF may be
detected. (Whether OFF to ON or ON to OFF is to be used is specified in the IOM Builder.) When
a change is detected, PV is equal to ON. It then changes to OFF after one scan cycle.

A3.2.2 Contact Output

Using contact outputs, an FCS can output ON/OFF signals to field equipment.
n 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.

l 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 modules
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-
proportioning output.

l Types of Contact Outputs : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
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.
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 (PW) or Time-Proportioning ON/OFF Output (TP).
• Status/Pulse-Width Output
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
the ON/OFF output status at the moment that the error occurred. For modules with Fallback
but [All points turn off] option is checked, the modules output OFF signals from the moment
that the error occurred.
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

l 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-proportioning
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
the ON/OFF output status at the moment that the error occurred. For modules with Fallback
but [All points turn off] option is checked, the modules output OFF signals from the moment
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.

n 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
l 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.

The syntax form for a latched contact output is shown below.

Figure Timing Chart for Latched Contact Output
If a latched syntax is scripted in a block other than sequence table block, such as an logic chart
block or other blocks in which output manipulation and terminal connection for sequence link are
available, it will behave the same as non-latched output.

l 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 connection
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.
The syntax form for non-latched contact outputs is shown below.

corresponding operations, see the following:

Manipulation for Other Function Blocks and I/O Data”
l Pulse Contact Output : PFCS/KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS/SFCS

Pulse contact output means the output will switch to ON for only one second when the logical
computation result is “True.”
If the entry in the action signal field of the sequence table is pulse type, the output will be ON
when the rule for Y action becomes True, at the same time, the sequence table will give a status
output to the output module, make the contact output ON. After one second, the corresponding
output on the status output module will be turned OFF by processor unit of PFCS/SFCS or FCU
of KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS, so as to make the contact output OFF.
The syntax form for pulse type contact output is only for sequence table.
The syntax is shown as follows. If this syntax is used in LFCS2/LFCS, the action signal will not
take action.

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.

l 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.
Example of non-latched type contact:

%Z021101.PV.L . . . . . . . . Y
Example of latched type contact:
%Z021101.PV.H . . . . . . . . Y

l 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.
The syntax form for flashing contact outputs is shown below.
%Znnusmm.PV.F
u : Unit Number
s : Slot Number
u : Slot Number
A timing chart for flashing contact outputs is shown below.

When above syntax is used in logic chart block or in the blocks whose terminals designated
for sequence connection, the output “flashes” ON and OFF at an interval of approximately one
second when the logic computation results in True. While the “flashing” stops and ON all the time
when the computation results in False.

n 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.ai
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.

n Fallback (FBEN) – FIO Analog Input/Output : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

▼ Fallback Specification, Fallback – Maintain Current Value
Whether or not the operation of the fallback function is performed is set in the I/O module
properties. [Fallback Specification] check box is available on IOM builder.
By default, this check box is checked. If the modules are in dual-redundant configuration,
[Fallback Specification] can not be unchecked.
• If [Fallback Specification] has been checked, either “Maintain Current Value” or “Output” can
be specified for each terminal with IOM Builder.
• If [Fallback Specification] has not been checked, the current value is retained when an
abnormality occurs in the processor unit or in the interface with the processor unit. However,
even if the processor unit or the interface with the processor unit recovers to the normal
state, the occurrence of that error will not be notified.
If [Fallback Specification] has been checked in the I/O module properties, the fallback output
operation setting is available on the details setting dialog of IOM Builder.
Specify either “Maintain Current Value” or “Output.” The default is “Maintain Current Value.”
The FBEN can only be set for the signals (terminals) of the following I/O modules:

n Point Mode – FIO Contact Input/Output : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

▼ 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:

l Mixing PW and TP : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
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.
l Mixing SO, PW and TP : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

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-numbered 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 8 ms in a database.

SEE
ALSO For the connection method when dual-redundant I/O modules are specified, see the followings in chapter C2.1,
“Data Connection”:
“l Dual-Redundant Contact Input” in “n Data Reference with Respect to Dual-Redundant Input”
“l Dual-Redundant Contact Output” in “n Data Setting with Respect to Dual-Redundant Output”
n Command Line – FIO Contact Input/Output : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

▼ 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:

l CNCTCHK (Front Connector Disconnection Check) :
KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
Specify whether or not to check the disconnection of the front connector. If a front connector
disconnection error is detected when the front connector disconnection check is specified, 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:
• 16-channel status input (ASD143-P)
• 32-channel SOE status input (ADV151-E) (*1)
• 8-channel status output (ASD533-S)
• 32-channel pulse width output (ADV551-P)
• 32-channel status, 32-channel pulse width output (ADV561-P)
AFG30D and AFG40D).

l 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)
l 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)

l 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 becomes
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.

A4. Software Inputs/Outputs

Just like process inputs/outputs, software inputs/outputs can be referred to or set from a
function block or other application function.
n Software Inputs/Outputs
Software inputs/outputs are virtual inputs/outputs that are provided by the FCS’s internal
software.
Two types of software inputs/outputs are available: an “internal switch,” which is used to
exchange logical values between function blocks or other application functions; and a “message
output,” which is used to inform the occurrence of an event.
The organizational structure of software inputs/outputs is as shown below.
Software inputs/outputs

Figure Relationship of Software Inputs/Outputs with Basic Control
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.

n Referencing and Setting Software Inputs/Outputs

n Identification of Software Inputs/Outputs

▼ Element Number
Software inputs/outputs are identified by their element serial numbers.
The classification of element numbers is shown below.
%XXnnnn
%XX : Software input/output element identifier. Varies according to the type of software input/output signal.
nnnn : Serial numbers. Some software input/output elements do not have serial numbers.
The software input/output element numbers are shown in the table below.

*2: For ProSafe-RS SCS, the range of serial number “nnn” becomes 001 to 128.
In factory plant operation, for monitoring purposes user may assign a tag name for each common
switch, global switch and annunciator message output when required.
Tag names and element numbers are used when referencing or setting the software inputs/
outputs in applications such as the application programs written in SEBOL and the Windows
applications, other than the operation and monitoring functions, that are written in Visual Basic.

n Software Input/Output Data Types

Each type of software input/output is shown below.
Table Software Input/Output Data Types
Name Data Format Input/Output
Common switch (%SW) Logical value Both

<A4.1 Common Switch> A4-6
A4.1 Common Switch

Common switches are internal switches used by various control functions to save the
shared logical values in an FCS.
n 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 element 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 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 to %SW4000.
. • The number of system common switches of PFCS is fixed between %SW0001 and %SW0200. The user -difinable common
switches are from %SW0201 to %SW1000.
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 and PFCS.

n Condition Testing and Status Manipulation for Common Switches

The syntax form for common-switch condition testing and status manipulation is shown below.
l 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.
l 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 connection 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.

n System Common Switches : PFCS/SFCS

Common switches (element numbers: %SW0001 to %SW0200) are fixed as system switches
with fixed functions. The statuses of these common switches can be referred to by users.
The data for common switches %SW0001 to %SW0007 that are used as the station start ID
switches and %SW0031, which is used as an extension common switch, are written by users.

n 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.
The status of each station start ID switch upon FCS startup is shown below.

n 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 switches are applicable only in PFCS and SFCS.

<A4.2 Global Switch> A4-17
A4.2 Global Switch

A global switch is an internal switch with the same logical value on all stations in the
same domain.
n 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. FCS can receive the data of
ProSafe-RS SCS as global switches, since SCS also provides scan transmission features.
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.

TIP
The global switches are applicable in all FCSs except standard type PFCS.

n 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
l 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.
l Station Definition
▼ Station
Define whether to receive the values of global switches under the control of other stations
if transferred. You can also define whether to receive from ProSafe-RS SCS with the same
procedure. However, the number of global switches of SCS that can be referred is up to 128.
• 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.

n Global Switch Condition Testing and Status Operation

The specified formats of condition testing and status operation for global switches are described
below.
TIP
l 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.
l 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:

<A4.3 Annunciator Message Output (%AN)> A4-20
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.
SEE
ALSO An annunciator message can be indicated together with its related process data. For more information about this
kind of annunciator, see the following:
A4.5, “Annnunciator Message with Data”
n Annunciator Message Output (%AN)

These special message outputs are used to simulate the annunciator panels of the instrument
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.

n 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
Alarm priority levels and state changes of annunciator message output are shown below.

n 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.
n
• 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 alarm
symbol will flash. The tag mark where the alarm is initiated will also flash to prompt the operator
for acknowledgment operation.

n Condition Testing and Status Manipulation for Annunciator Message

Outputs
The syntax form for annunciator message condition testing and status manipulation is shown
below.
l Condition Testing
When annunciator message 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 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.
l 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 manipulation
of the sequence table. The following syntax form is for the recovery of an annunciator message
output.
%ANnnnn.PV.H -----N

For details on latched type and non-latched type output, see the following:

n 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 operator’s 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
l 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 warning
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.
The timing chart of a timer-repeated warning is shown below.

l Event Repeated Warning
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 therefore be
used for those annunciators without the timer-repeated warning function.
The syntax form for repeated warning status manipulation is as follows.
%ANnnnn.RP.ON ----- Set repeated warning action

%ANnnnn.RP.OFF ----- Reset repeated warning action

active, the timer will be reset and then started by the event-repeated warning action.

<A4.4 Sequence Message> A4-26
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
n Action of Sequence Message

The sequence message is a general term given to the output of messages from the sequence
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> A4-33
A4.5 Annunciator Message with Data

Annunciator message with data means an annunciator message can be output with a
process datum.
n Features of Annunciator Message with Data

To output an annunciator message with data can be done by out a combination of annunciator
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 corresponding
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 process data
can be attached to the message with defined format.
• On the historical message report window, the message text defined on Printout Message
Builder will be output and appended with the following character strings to indicate the alarm
attribute:
Alarm occurred: ALM
Alarm recovered: NR
Alarm repeated: Still
On the process alarm view, (!) mark will be used instead of “Still” character string.
• The message defined for the annunciator element (%AN) of the annunciator message with
data on the Annunciator Builder will be displayed as the comment text on the tuning view,
process report view, and other status display views. For printing out, the messages defined
on the Printout Message Builder will be output.
• 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 designate 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 printout.

<A4.5 Annunciator Message with Data> A4-34
n 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.

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.
n Error Detection
FCS detects the following errors.
l Hardware Error Detection

Errors occurred within FCS are detected by monitoring the actions of various FCS hardware at
their start and on a periodical basis.
l System Software Error Detection

Errors in system software are detected by monitoring the operations of the system software in
FCS.

<B1. Error Detection> B1-2

<B1.1 Hardware Error Detection> B1-3
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.

n 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.
n Monitoring of CPU Operations

When an error action of software is caused by hardware abnormality, this may be considered as
a temporary CPU failure, it is recommended to restart the CPU once.
n 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-redundancy 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 seconds
during communication in the same domain

n Detection of Momentary Errors

The FCS detects momentary errors of the hardware indicated below:
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l Processing retry
When an error is generated during control bus communication, process I/O communication, etc.,
retries are performed.

<B1.2 System Software Error Detection> B1-6
B1.2 System Software Error Detection

FCS detects errors by monitoring the system software operation on FCS. The monitoring
methods include “Monitoring by WDT” and “Task operation monitoring.”
n 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.
n Task Operation Monitoring

FCS constantly monitors all tasks to see if they are operating normally. If any of the necessary
tasks to carry on controlling stops abnormally, FCS terminates immediately.

<B2. Start Operations> B2-1
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 operations are
explained.
n Outline of Start Operation

The start operations of FCS consist of the followings.
l FCS Start Operation

FCS start operation indicates a process during the FCS changes from Stop State to running
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.
l 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.
l Start Operation of Nodes : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

For KFCS2, KFCS or FFCS, 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
abnormalities, 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.
l Start Operation of I/O Units : LFCS2/LFCS

For LFCS2 or LFCS, when abnormalities occurred in I/O units, the I/O signals communicated 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 communication 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 determined by the elapsed
time of I/O units failure and the settings of [Start Mode].
l Start Operation of I/O Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS/LFCS2/LFCS

For KFCS2, KFCS, FFCS, 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> B2-2
B2.1 FCS Start Operation

“FCS start operation” refers to all the actions performed through the process of FCS’s
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.”
n Flow of Start Operation

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.”

Figure Flow of FCS Start Operation

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.”
n 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.
l 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.
l Station STOP
This is a state that all application programs including the control functions are halted although
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
view), 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.
n Cause of Start
The FCS’s cause of start includes “Power on” and “CPU START.”
l Power on
This is to turn on the power to PFCS.
l 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 off-line loading to FCS
• FCS START command received from HIS
• Start operation triggered from FCS control panel

n 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).”

B2.1.2 FCS Initial Cold Start

Initial cold start is to reset all FCS’s internal states and initiates the control operations
from the complete initial status.

n System Initialization Processing for Initial Cold Start

System initialization processing for initial cold start resets all FCS’s 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.

n User Defined Initialization Processing for Initial Cold Start

User defined initialization processing is executed based on the user’s 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.
l 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 operation, the
processing type can be distinguished.
For example, when recovering from prolonged power failure (timer specified, FCS power failure
time ≥ T, 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.

l Example of User Definition Initialization Processing
Let’s 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.

n 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 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 and logic chart blocks don’t operate while windup operation is running.
The windup operation time can be set on the FCS Constant Builder.
• Wind Up Time:
Set 0 to 100 (sec.).
The default is 60 sec.

B2.1.3 FCS Restart

FCS Restart is a start operation that attempts to maintain the status before the operation
stop status as long as possible in order to restart the operation. The start operation
is executed after restarting the suspended function block processing where it was
suspended and completing it.

can define the contents of initialization processing, using the function block for initialization
processing. The user definition initialization processing will not be executed unless it is specified.

Modules
Start operation for I/O module includes Initial Cold Start (MAN) and Restart (AUT).
n 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 transient failure.
l 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.

<B2.3 Start Operation of KFCS2, KFCS and FFCS Nodes> B2-19
B2.3 Start Operation of KFCS2, KFCS and FFCS

Nodes
Two types of start operation – initial cold start (MAN) and restart (AUT) – are available for
the nodes (local node and remote node).
n Start Operation of the Nodes : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

▼ Node Momentary Power Failure Tolerant Time
Two types of start operation–“initial cold start” and “restart”–are 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.

n Initial Cold Start of the Node : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

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.
n Restart Operation of the Nodes : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

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.

n Details of the Start Operation of the Nodes : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

The FCU operates as indicated in the table below from the occurrence of a node (local node or
remote node) abnormality until the start operation of the node is performed.

n Start Operation when Recovering from a Standalone Power Failure of

the Remote Node : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
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.

B2.4 Start Operation of LFCS2 and LFCS I/O Units

Two types of start operation – initial cold start (MAN) and restart (AUT) – are available for
the I/O unit.
n Start Operation of the I/O Unit: LFCS2/LFCS

Two types of start operation–“initial cold start” and “restart”–are available for the I/O unit. The type
of start operation to be executed is determined by the “start mode” of the I/O unit and the no-
response time.
The “start mode” is set with node properties. Set the momentary I/O unit power failure
identification time in the range of 1 to 16,000 msec, or select [MAN] (manual). The default value
of the momentary I/O unit power failure identification time is 2000 msec.

n 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.
n 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.

The initial cold start operation of the I/O module is performed when the I/O module is
recovered from a breakdown or maintenance.
n Initial Cold Start of the I/O Module : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS/LFCS2/LFCS

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.

B3. Operation at Error Occurrence

Operation at error occurrence refers to the operation upon detecting an error in the
process I/O or processor unit during system operation.
The following are types of operations performed at error occurrence:
• Operation based on the power failure/error mode
• Operation at error detection while downloading to I/O module
• Operation of communication I/O module
TIP
The term PI/O used in this chapter denotes “process I/O.”
n Operation Based on the Power Failure/Error Mode : PFCS/SFCS

The failure modes are classified into various types corresponding to the probable failures such as
a power failure, component failure and other errors.
The system will operate according to the applicable failure mode when a problem occurs.

• Remote node power failure (KFCS2, KFCS, FFCS only)
• PI/O power failure (LFCS2, LFCS only)

• System power failure (KFCS2, KFCS, FFCS, LFCS2, LFCS only)
This section describes system operation for each power failure mode.
n 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.
SEE
ALSO • For the initial cold start operation and restart operation, see the following:
B2.1, “FCS Start Operation”
• For the initial cold start operation and restart operation of the I/O module, see the following:
B2.2, “Start Operation of PFCS and SFCS I/O Modules”

n System Operation in Local Node Power Failure State :

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
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
SEE
ALSO For details on the initial cold start operation and restart operation of the node, see the following:
B2.3, “Start Operation of KFCS2, KFCS and FFCS Nodes”
The local node power failure state occurs in cases where the power supply to a local node fails or
the breakdown of the power supply area of a local node occurs.
SEE
ALSO • The fallback actions of the I/O modules in remote nodes at node power supply failure are the same as the
fallback actions at the FCU power failure. For more information about I/O module fallback actions, see the
following at later part of this chapter:

failure, output is resumed from the output reset status when the power is recovered.

n System Operation in the Remote Node Standalone Power Failure State:

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The remote node 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 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 power failure state is the same as that in the local node
power failure state. However, after the remote node’s power is recovered, it takes some time
before the EB401 of the local node higher than that remote node starts up.
SEE
ALSO For the time required for the EB401 to start up, see the following:
“n Start Operation when Recovering from a Standalone Power Failure of the Remote Node : KFCS2/
KFCS/FFCS” in B2.3, “Start Operation of KFCS2, KFCS and FFCS Nodes”
n System Operation at PI/O Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS

“PI/O power failure” is a state in which the process I/O area experiences a power failure and
recovery at an individual node. At this time, operation continues at the RIO bus communication,
field control unit (FCU) and nodes other than the one experiencing a power failure.
A power failure in PI/O alone occurs when a power failure occurs in the power supply for a
specific node or the power supply for the node interface unit (NIU) malfunctions.
l Output Operation of Process I/O Module Area - PI/O Power Failure :

LFCS2/LFCS
As for the output operation of the process I/O area, either the initial cold start operation or restart
operation of the I/O unit will be performed, depending on the start mode setting of the I/O unit and
the duration of the power failure.

The field control unit (FCU) executes a PI/O power failure operation when a power failure occurs
at the connection destination node of a function block that is directly connected for the process
I/O.
Output will resume upon power recovery.
PI/O power failure operation is performed as shown below, based on the type of start operation
defined for each I/O unit (IOU).
• When the IOU start operation is set to MAN (initial cold start)
MAN fallback will be executed, followed by initialization manual (IMAN).
• When the IOU start operation is set to TIME
Initialization manual (IMAN) will be executed at the point the power failure time exceeds the
momentary power failure tolerant time (timer set value). MAN fallback operation will then be
executed.

n System Operation in FCU Power Failure State : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

The FCU power failure state indicates the FCU encounters power failure or just recovered from
the power failure. Under such state, for KFCS2/KFCS, the local node and the remote node hold
their previous operations. Since the power supply to the ESB interface card (SB301) also failed,
the communication between the I/O nodes and FCU through the ESB bus will fail too.
For FFCS, though the modules in the expanded nodes (the local nodes and the remote nodes)
hold their previous operations; the I/O modules dierctly inserted in the slots of the FCU and the
ESB communication will fail.
In addition, the FCU performs either an initial cold start operation or restart operation when the
power is recovered, according to the start condition setting of the FCU and the duration of the
power failure.
SEE
ALSO For the initial cold start operation and restart operation of the FCU, see the following:
The FCU power failure state occurs when a power failure or breakdown occurs in the power
supply area of the FCU.
l Output Operation of the Process I/O - FCU Power Failure :

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
Since the power failure occurred only in FCU, thus all the I/O modules linked to the FCU either
in the local nodes or remote nodes may perform output fallback. However, for FFCS, the I/O
modules directly inserted in the FCU will fail.
The output fallback is an output action specified on the builder. The output module can either hold
the previous value or change to a specified value in accordance with the setting on the builder.
The output fallback operation of the I/O module is set in the detailed settings of the IOM Builder.
• Set either [Maintain current value] or [Output data] for the output fallback.
• If [Output data] is set for the output fallback, set the output value in the range between
-17.1875 and 112.5%.
SEE
ALSO For details on the output fallback operation of the I/O module, see the following:

The following figure shows the output operation from the I/O module in the case of the FCS initial
cold start operation:
• When [Maintain current value] is set for the output fallback:
The output data is shown in a solid line below. The output value just before the occurrence
of a power failure is retained during FCU power failure, and output is resumed with the
retained value when the power to the FCU is recovered.
• When [Output data] is set for the output fallback:
The fallback output value (dashed line in the figure) is output when the power failure time
exceeds the line loss detection time (4 seconds). Output is resumed with the fallback output
value when the power is recovered. If the power failure time does not exceed the line loss
detection time, the output operation will be the same as when [Maintain current value] is set
for the output fallback.

As for the FCS restart operation when the duration of an FCS power failure has exceeded 16
seconds, the FCU starts a control operation 5 seconds after a power recovery. Therefore, it will
be as if the power failure is approximately 5 seconds longer than the duration of the actual power
failure.

n System Operation at FCU Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS

“FCU power failure” 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.
SEE
ALSO For the initial cold start operation and restart operation of the FCS, see the following:
FCU power failure occurs when power failure or malfunction occurs in the power supply area of
FCU.
l Output Operation of Process I/O Area - FCU Power Failure :

LFCS2/LFCS
An output fallback operation is performed in all I/O modules linked to the FCU in the power failure
state while in an FCU 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 in I/O module area can be set in the detail setting on the IOM
Builder.
• When check the [Set Fallback] item, 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.

The following figure shows the output operation from the I/O module in the case of the FCS initial
cold start operation:
The fallback output value (dashed line in the figure) is output when the power failure time
exceeds the line loss detection time (4 seconds). Output is resumed with the fallback output
value when the power is recovered. If the power failure time does not exceed the line loss
detection time, the output operation will be the same as when [Maintain current value] is set
for the output fallback.

n System Operation in the System Power Failure State :

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
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 FCU’s power failure, the system operation is determined by the duration of the
FCU’s power failure even for the system power failure, in the same manner as for the FCU 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 instrument
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 power failure, a remote node power failure and an FCU power failure
have occurred separately.

Figure FCS Initial Cold Start Operation when a System Power Failure has Occurred :
KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
When the power is recovered from a system power failure, an FCS initial cold start operation
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 seconds,
depending on the duration of the power failure, until the EB401 higher than that remote node
starts up after the power recovery.

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.

l Operation for FCS Restart - System Power Failure :
KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
For an FCS restart operation when the duration of an FCU’s power failure was within 16 seconds,
the output value prior to the power failure is re-output to the process I/O area after the FCU,
which is recovered from the power failure, is started.

As for the FCS restart operation when the duration of an FCS power failure has exceeded 16

• 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.

l Operation when the Power Failure Tolerant Timing Varies between the Process
I/O Area and the FCU : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
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 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.

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.

n System Operation at System Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS

“System power 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 power failure and an FCU power failure have occurred separately.
l Power Failure Time at System Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS

This section explains how to measure power failure time when system power failure occurs,
using as an example of an analog output module directly connected to the PID controller 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

l 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.

• 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:
“n System Operation at PI/O Power Failure : LFCS2/LFCS”
• 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 PI/O power failure
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 operation, 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.

<B3.2 Operation at CPU Failure> B3-22
B3.2 Operation at CPU Failure

Listed below are the failure modes when a CPU failure occurs in the processor unit inside
a system:
• Termination of CPU operation
• Processor unit control right transfer (PFCS, SFCS only)
• FCU control right transfer (KFCS2, KFCS, FFCS, LFCS2, LFCS only)
This section describes system operation in each failure mode.

n 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 module 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.
l 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.

l Control Operation of FCS - Termination of CPU Operation : PFCS/SFCS

The control operation of FCS will be initial cold start when termination of CPU operation is
recovered.

n System Operation at Termination of CPU Operation :

“Termination of CPU operation” indicates that the CPU is not working though the power supply to
the CPU in the field control unit (FCU) is normal. Under this state, for KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS, the
ESB bus communication stops. For LFCS2/LFCS, the RIO bus communication continues.
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.
l Output Operation of the Process I/O - Termination of CPU Operation :

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
When the CPU operation stop state occurs, all the I/O modules connected to the FCU perform
output fallback operation when the communication error tolerance time (4 seconds) has elapsed.
For FFCS, the module directly inserted in the slots of the FCU will preform the output fallback too.
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 operation
stop state.
SEE
ALSO For details on the output fallback operation of the I/O module, see the following:

l Output Operation of Process I/O Module - Termination of CPU Operation :
LFCS2/LFCS
The process I/O module area performs output fallback when termination of CPU operation
occurs.
It resumes to output the real output value upon recovery from CPU operation termination.
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.

recovered.

n System Operation at Processor Unit Control Right Transfer :

PFCS/SFCS
“Processor unit control right transfer” is a state in which the control side CPU stops functioning
and the standby CPU assumes control. Operation continues in the process I/O before and after
transfer of the control right occurs.
Processor unit control right transfer occurs when an error is detected in the self-diagnostics of a
processor unit having dual-redundant CPU.
n System Operation at FCU Control Right Transfer :

“FCU control right transfer” means the controlling CPU stops and the standby CPU takes over.
For KFCS2/KFCS, the SB301 (ESB bus interface card) modules will switch the control right in
accordance with the FCU control right transfer. However, the communication with the process I/O
modules will continue during the control right switching.
For FFCS, the communication with the process I/O modules continues during the FCU control
right switching.
For LFCS2/LFCS, the communication with the process I/O modules and the RIO bus continues
during the FCU control right switching.
FCU control right transfer occurs when an error is detected by the self-diagnostics of the field
control unit (FCU) with dual-redundant CPU.

I/O Module
Listed below are the failure modes when an error occurs in the process I/O during system
operation:

• PI/O operation stop (LFCS2, LFCS only)
• RIO bus transmission stop (LFCS2, LFCS only)
• RB301 control right switch (LFCS2, LFCS only)
This section describes system operation in each failure mode.

n System Operation at Error Occurrence in I/O Module : PFCS/SFCS

“Error occurrence in the I/O module” is a state in which all or part of the I/O module fails. At this
time, operation continues in the processor unit and I/O modules other than the one experiencing
an error.
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 an error in the I/O module.
• Control operation of FCS
MAN fallback will be performed when an error occurs in I/O module area. Output resumes
upon recovery.

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.

n System Operation at I/O Module Maintenance/Error :

“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 maintenance/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:
• 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
MAN fallback will be performed when the I/O module maintenance/failure status occurs.
Output resumes upon recovery.

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The I/O module maintenance state denotes a state in which the live line of an I/O module that
is mounted to a node or a FFCS FCU is disconnected and then connected in order to perform
maintenance work on the I/O module. 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 a node or a FFCS
FCU. The subject maintenance/breakdown node or FFCS FCU will remain live and all modules
other than the subject module continue their operations.
Furthermore, the I/O module maintenance state occurs when an I/O module is replaced.
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
An I/O module in which a breakdown has occurred performs an output fallback operation.
However, no output will be performed for a kind of breakdown that disables the output of the
I/O module.
The FCU side performs an initial cold start operation of the I/O module for recovery from the
maintenance/breakdown state of the I/O module.
• FCU control operation
The FCU performs an MAN fallback operation when the I/O module maintenance/
breakdown state occurs. In addition, the FCU resumes output when recovering from that
state.

n System Operation in the SB301 Operation Stop State : KFCS2/KFCS

The SB301 operation stop state denotes a state in which an SB301 mounted to an FCU stops its
operation while the FCU’s power remains on.
The SB301 operation stop state occurs when the SB301 breaks down or is mounted/dismounted.
The system operation that is performed in the SB301 operation stop state consists of the
following:
• Process I/O output operation
All the I/O modules lower than the FCU perform an output fallback operation during the
occurrence of the SB301 operation stop state. In addition, the output of the process I/O is
initiated with the actual output value at the time of recovery by executing an initial cold start
operation of the node in the FCU when recovering from that state.
The FCU performs an MAN fallback operation during the occurrence of the SB301 operation
stop state. In addition, the FCU initiates an initial cold start of the node when recovering from
the SB301 operation stop state.

The EB401 operation stop state occurs when the EB401 breaks down or is mounted/dismounted.
The system operation that is performed in the EB401 operation stop state consists of the
following:
The I/O module of a remote node lower than the EB401 performs an output fallback
operation during the occurrence of the EB401 operation stop state. In addition, the output of
the process I/O is initiated with the actual output value at the time of recovery by executing
an initial cold start operation of the node in the FCU when recovering from that state.
The FCU performs an MAN fallback operation during the occurrence of the EB401 operation
stop state. In addition, the FCU initiates an initial cold start of the node when recovering from
the EB401 operation stop state.

n System Operation in the Local Node Communication Error State :

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The local node communication error state is a state in which an error has occurred in the
communication between an FCU and a local node.
The communication error state with the local node occurs when the transmission of the extended
serial backboard bus (ESB bus) is disconnected, an interface card error occurs, etc.
The system operation that is performed in the communication error state with the local node
consists of the following:
The I/O module mounted to the local node in which a communication error has occurred
as well as the I/O module of the remote node lower than that local node perform 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 cold start operation or
restart operation of the node in the FCU when recovering from the communication error
state.
The FCU performs an MAN fallback operation during the occurrence of the communication
error state. In addition, when recovering from the communication error state, the FCU
initiates either an initial cold start operation or restart operation of the node, depending on
the duration when the local node was not responding.

n System Operation in the Communication Error State with the Remote

Node : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
For KFCS2/KFCS, the communication error with the remote node means an error occurs in the
communication between a local node and a remote node.
For FFCS, it means an error may occur in the communication between a local node and a remote
node, or in the communication between an EB401 card that inserted in a slot of FCU and a
remote node.
The communication error with the remote node also means a poor connection exists in the
enhanced remote I/O bus (ER bus), or an interface card error, etc.
The system operation that is performed in the communication error state with the remote node
consists of the following:
The I/O module mounted to the remote node in which a communication error has occurred
performs an output fallback operation during the occurrence of the communication error
state. In addition, the output of the process control I/O area is initiated by executing either an
initial cold start operation or restart operation of the node in the FCU when recovering from
the communication error state.
The FCU performs an MAN fallback operation during the occurrence of the communication
error state. In addition, when recovering from the communication error state, the FCU
initiates either an initial cold start operation or restart operation of the node, depending on
the duration when the remote node was not responding.

“Node maintenance” is a state in which one entire node is separated from the system in order to
perform maintenance operations. At this time, operation continues at RIO bus communication,
field control unit (FCU) and nodes other than the one subject to maintenance.
The node maintenance status occurs when replacing process I/O unit (IOU).

“PI/O error” is a state in which all or part of a node in the process I/O area fails. At this time,
operation continues at the field control unit (FCU), RIO bus communication and PI/O components
other than the one that has failed.
The PI/O error status occurs when RB401 or I/O module fails, when node internal bus fault
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.

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.

“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

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.

B3.4 Common Operation of the I/O Module at

Problem Occurrence
The KFCS2, KFCS or FFCS performs special output operation of the I/O module
immediately after a power recovery or during the occurrence of an abnormality. The
following explains the details of various output states of the I/O module.
n Output State of the I/O Module Immediately after a Power Recovery :

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
When an I/O module is recovered from a power failure, the I/O module restarts on its own. The
following shows the output state at I/O module restart:
Table Output State at I/O Module Restart : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
I/O module Output state
1.25mA (-17.19%)
Analog output (4-20mA) Subsequently, outputs the value equivalent to
the tight-shut of the function block
0.31V (-17.19%)
Analog output (1-5V) Subsequently, outputs the value equivalent to
the tight-shut of the function block
Contact output Resets to 0
RS communication module Tracks data on the subsystem side
Fieldbus communication module Tracks the field output value for output with feedback
B030401E.ai
Note: If the CPU of the FCU is being stopped, the output value of the analog output will be 0mA (0V).
n Output State of the I/O Module during the Occurrence of an Error :

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The output state of the I/O module when an I/O module breaks down or an abnormality occurs in
devices higher than I/O module is in accordance with the output fallback specification.
l Output State at I/O Module Breakdown : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

The output state of the I/O module when an I/O module breaks down is in accordance with the
output fallback specification. However, no output will be performed for a kind of breakdown that
disables the output of the I/O module.
l Output State of the I/O Module when Higher Devices are Abnormal :
KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The I/O module, after detecting that an access from the higher devices cannot be made for more
than the line loss detection time (4 seconds) because of FCU’s CPU operation stop, a node
abnormality, etc., performs an output fallback operation.

<B3.5 Operation of I/O Module when Downloading is Performed> B3-38
B3.5 Operation of I/O Module when Downloading

is Performed
Downloading to I/O module includes “off-line download” and “on-line download.”
The following section explains the operation of I/O module at downloading.
n Operation of I/O Module when Off-Line Downloading is Performed :

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.
l Output Status of Output Module Subject to Off-Line Downloading :

The table below shows the output status change of output module that was subject to off-line
downloading, for both downloadings with and without definition change.
Table I/O Status for Output Module that Becomes an Off-Line Downloading Target :

B030501E.ai
*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.

l Output Status of Output Module that was not Subject to Off-Line Downloading :
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.
n Operation of the I/O Module when Offline Download to the I/O Module
is Executed : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
When offline download is executed to an FCS, the definition information will be downloaded 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 linked to 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.
IMPORTANT
Be cautious that the following phenomenon may occur during offline downloading:
When start up the system and perform offline downloading (including the IOM downloading) after
adding or replacing the analog voltage output module AAV542 or AAV544, OOP alarm may occur
though rarely.
To deal with this problem, do either of the following:

Pull out the module and then put it back.
Run online downloading.

n 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.
l 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.
l 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 specified, the PV value
will be overshot to the lower limit value.
• A function block that has the MAN fallback function performs an MAN fallback operation.
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.

n Operation of the I/O Module when Online Download to the I/O Module
Is Executed : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
When the definition information of I/O modules is changed by online download, either “IOM
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 contents.
If a new I/O module has been added, or if an I/O module that does not have the matching
definition information as shown below has been mounted, IOM initialization load will be executed.

B030502E.ai
l IOM Continuous Load : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

The IOM downloads while continuing the I/O operation at other than the terminal point where the
definition information of the I/O module has been changed.
l IOM Initialization Load : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

▼ IOM Online Updating
The IOM stops the I/O operation of all points of the I/O modules where the definition information
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 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 milliseconds,
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 fluctuating 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 or OOP 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 view.
• 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 view.
• 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.

The production control system has employed a redundancy system that makes each
section of the FCS dual-redundant. By making each part of the FCS dual-redundant, high
system reliability and operability can be achieved and highly reliable, accurate data can

• At the Control bus 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 system
will transfer the control right to the standby side CPU without interruption.
• 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 malfunctions.
• There is a WDT (Watch Dog Timer) in the processor unit to supervise the execution of
control function.
Whenever the abnormality in control function is detected, the control right is switched from
control side to the standby side, as if the abnormality is in the control side processor.
• In the main memory, error-correction coding (ECC) function is provided so that the transient
bit inversion error in the main memory may be repaired.
• The PI/O bus interface has the function to run the PI/O executions on control side and to
diagnostic the PI/O performance by itself. The same diagnostic function is also running in
standby side PI/O bus interface.
When an abnormality occurs in the control side PI/O bus, the control right is immediately
switched to the standby side PI/O, thus the PI/O executions may be continued.

n 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.
l 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.
l 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 periodically.
l 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 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
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.
l 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.
input will continue. At this time, a system alarm message will be issued in conjunction with the
l Dual-Redundant Contact Output Module : PFCS/SFCS

Contact output modules can have a dual-redundant structure using two modules of the same
type and the same functions by connecting the output terminals to each other in parallel. The
“OR” of the signals from the two modules will be output to the field. 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.

n IOM Dual-Redundant Actions at FCS Power Failure and Different

Malfunction 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 situations
accordingly.
l 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.
l Multi-point Control Analog I/O Module (AMC80) : PFCS/SFCS

• When FCS recovered from a prolonged period of power failure, the smaller numbered card
takes the control.
• 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.
l 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.
l Package Communication Module (ACM1x) : PFCS/SFCS

• When the FCS recovered from a power failure or a Station RUN operation or FCS Offline
downloading, the card in the smaller numbered slot takes the control.

<B4.2 Dual-Redundant Architecture of KFCS2,KFCS and FFCS> B4-10
B4.2 Dual-Redundant Architecture of KFCS2,

KFCS and FFCS
In KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS, 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 power
supply units are operated redundantly.
The dual-redundant architecture of FCU, ESB bus and ER bus is explained as follows.

• Each processor card 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 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 inversion
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 other’s 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 Structure of Duplexed Processor Modules
• Each processor module has two MPUs. Each MPU performs the identical control
computation. The computation results of the two MPUs are compared using a collator
during each control computation cycle.
• If the computation results of the two MPUs match, the collator determines that the
computation is normal and sends data to the main storage and the bus interface unit.
• Because the main storage has an ECC (Error Correcting Code), it corrects transient bit
inversion errors occurring inside the main storage.
• If computation results between the MPU1 and MPU2 do not match, the collator determines
that a computation error has occurred, and then the control right is transferred to the
standby processor module.
• The standby processor module performs the same control computation as the controlling
processor module even when it is in the standby state. Therefore, the standby processor
module can immediately resume the output of control computation data to the bus interface
when it takes over the control right.
• Self-diagnostics is executed on the processor module in which a computation error has
occurred. If no abnormality is detected in the error causing MPU as a result of diagnostics,
the error is determined as a transient computation error, and the module is recovered from
the error state and placed in the standby state. The processor module in standby state
performs the same control computation synchronous with the controlling processor module.
• If an abnormality is detected in the self-diagnostics of the I/O controller inside the controlling
processor module, the control right is transferred to the standby processor module. Inside
the processor modules, faults of the SB buses are diagnosed by accessing each other’s
processor module via the SB buses between duplexed processor modules.
• If all local nodes are abnormal, it is assumed as an ESB bus failure.

n Dual-Redundant Architecture of Extended Serial Backboard Bus

(ESB Bus) : KFCS2/KFCS

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.
l 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.

n Dual-Redundant Architecture of Extended Serial Backboard Bus

(ESB Bus) : FFCS
ESB buses can be duplexed regardless whether the processor module (CP401) has a single or
dual-redundant configuration. Duplexed ESB buses consist of two ESB bus coupler modules
(EC401s) mounted in slots 7 and 8 of the FCU, two ESB buses, and two ESB bus slave interface
modules (SB401s) mounted in local nodes

The duplexed ESB buses are used alternately in normal situation. If an abnormality occurs in one
set of an EC401, ESB bus and SB401, the other ESB bus is used to perform communication.
The error recovery monitoring of an abnormal ESB bus is performed periodically.

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

KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
EB401, Enhanced remote I/O buses and EB501 can be applied in dual-redundant configuration.
l Dual-Redundant Configuration of EB401, Enhanced Remote I/O Buses and

EB501 : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
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 scheme. For FFCS, two EB401 cards can be put in either a
local node or FCU slots next to each other so as to form a dual-redundant scheme.
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 standing
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.

l Switching Control Right of EB401 : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS
The software in CPU decides which EB401 card is running and which is standing by and
switches them from control to standby or vice versa in accordance with the following conditions.
• In the cases that the controlling EB401 card is abnormal and the standby card is normal.
• In the cases illustrated in the following table:
Suppose there are 4 remote nodes in KFCS2, the control right may be switched under the
illustrated circumstances.

Switch Switch Switch Switch Not Switch Not Switch
B040206E.ai
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.

n Dual-Redundant Configuration of I/O Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

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.
l Analog Input Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

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.
l Analog Output Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

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.
l Contact Input Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

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.
l Contact Output Modules : KFCS2/KFCS/FFCS

• 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 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.

Within LFCS2 or LFCS, a dual-redundant structure can be implemented into the field
control unit (FCU) area, PI/O node area, and the power supply units of these areas.
This section describes dual-redundant structures in the field control unit (FCU) area and
PI/O node area.

• 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 computation
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 inversion
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 transient
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 other’s 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 software 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.

n 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 interface 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
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.

l Dual-Redundant Contact Input Module : LFCS2/LFCS
Contact input modules can have a dual-redundant structure using two modules of the same
type and same functions. As for I/O data with 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

redundancy may be realized. The function blocks only use the data on the control side modules.

l Dual-Redundant Contact Output Module : LFCS2/LFCS

Contact output modules can have a dual-redundant structure using two modules of the same
type and the same functions by connecting the output terminals to each other in parallel. The
“OR” of the signals from the two modules will be output to the field. 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 output data are set to 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 monitored 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.

n IOM Dual-Redundant Actions at FCS Power Failure and Different

Malfunction Modes : LFCS2/LFCS
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 situations
accordingly.
l Control I/O Modules (AAM50/AAM51) : LFCS2/LFCS

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
