YOKOGAWA FCN/FCJ Autonomous Controller Functions

YOKOGAWA FCN/FCJ Autonomous Controller Function

Notation in this document:

• The term “FCN” refers to the module consisting type

autonomous controllers.

• The term “FCN-500” refers to the autonomous

controllers with NFCP501/NFCP502 CPU module.

• The term “FCN-100” refers to the autonomous

controllers with NFCP100 CPU module.

• The term “FCN-RTU” refers to the low power

autonomous controllers with NFCP050 CPU module.

• The term “FCJ” refers to the all-in-one type

autonomous controllers.

High Performance

• Applicable to a variety of processes, from sequence

control processes to analog control processes.

• Intercommunication with other autonomous

controllers or other equipment for inter-linked control

actions, in addition to stand-alone operation.

• Using Versatile Data Server Software (VDS) or

Supervisory Systems (FAST/TOOLS) together allows

a system with enriched operation and monitoring

functions to be built up.

• An FCN/FCJ OPC server for Windows can be used

for accessing the data of an FCN/FCJ from an OPC

(OLE for Process Control) client on a PC.

• Java-enabled — enables users to implement various

applications, including displaying images on a Web

browser, saving data files, transferring files using the

FTP protocol, sending/receiving e-mails and public

network connection using the PPP protocol.

With InfoWell, applications such as web browsers

and e-mail communications can be utilized without

programming.

l High Reliability

• RAS features (CPU self-diagnostics, temperature

monitoring, I/O diagnostics, and more)

• Memory with error-correcting code (ECC)

• Low heat dissipation, eliminating the need for a

cooling fan

• The Ethernet control network, CPU, power supply

module, and SB bus (FCN local bus) can all be

duplexed for an FCN-100.

• The control network can be duplexed for an FCJ.

l Engineering Efficiency

• Five IEC 61131-3 compliant programming languages

are supported, enabling the user to selectively use

these languages according to their purposes of use

and applications.

• Control logic can be encapsulated into software

parts for reuse, allowing efficient and quality system

configuration.

• Application Portfolios packed with Yokogawa’s

application expertise, enable easy implementation of

advanced functions, including control-loop instrument

blocks and communication with non-Yokogawa PLCs.

l Easy Maintenance

• Online download function allows a control application

to be modified during system operation

• All modules are hot-swappable with an F

FCN-100 is a controller module consisting of CPU, I/O,

and other modules as necessary. It supports a variety

of I/O modules, provides a highly reliable system with

duplexed power supply, CPU and control network

options as well as superb scalability.

FCJ is an all-in-one controller with a built-in I/O

interface — ideal for installing inside machine

equipment as well as configuring a distributed system.

Its control network can be duplexed.
