FCS Constants
FCS CONFIGURATION
Under the “FCS Configuration”, the user can define set up items specifically for that FCS. Some
definable items are:
Definition Item
• Start Condition: Defines the starting conditions the FCS will go through when returning from a power
down condition.
Ø MAN (Initial Cold Start): This resets all of the FCS internal functions, and processing starts from
the first block. Blocks connected to the I/O will be placed in “MAN” mode and Sequence Tables in
“AUT” mode.
Ø AUT (Restart): Completes the function block processing order before the power failure. Blocks
return to the state or mode they were in before the power failure.
Ø TIM: Allows the FCS to use the “Momentary Power Failure Detect” time shown below when
recovering from a power failure. If the power failure is less than the allotted time, the FCS returns
as “AUT” mode, if the time is longer than defined, the FCS returns as “MAN”.
• Momentary Power Failure Detect: Allows the user to define the maximum length of a detected
power failure. This will determine if the FCS will either restart or go through a cold start. This field only
applies if the start condition is “TIM”.
• Digital Filter Coefficient: Used to buffer the input signal and minimize over control because of
process noise.
Scan Transmission Definition Item (For CS3000 "Global Switches" which allows FCS to FCS flagging
across the Vnet)
• Self Station Buffer Size: Define the buffer size to transfer. "0" for no transfer, "32" bytes for all 256
bits.
• Station Definition Type: Default is "0", which does not receive global switches from any other FCS. If
a "1" is defined, then the FCS (or any FCS) whose global switches will be read by this station are
defined.
Node Types:
• Local: ESB Bus. This is the 128 Mbps bus with a maximum length of 10 meters (33 ft). Only 10 nodes
in the Vnet I/P FCS can be defined as local
• Remote: RIO Bus. This is the 10 Mbps bus with a length of 185 meters (600 ft) that can be extended
up to 2 km (1.25 mi) using fiber optics and bus repeaters.
Module Units:
Nodes: Node number 1 – 10 for FIO in the Vnet FFCS; 1-15 for the Vnet I/P FCS. The FCS is always
considered as node #1.
Remote Node: (if remote node otherwise grayed out)
Master NIU and address
Address of Left-Hand Side EB501
Address of Right-Hand Side of EB501
Power Supply Unit: Dual, 80W or 40W or 24VDC
Component Number: Capital Equipment ID, optional
Node Comment: Comment, optional
Output in a lump:
Data is sent with completion of scan time
Output immediately:
Data is sent right after calculation is done
Analog I/O
AAB841 8 input / 8 output, non-isolated, 1-5V in and 4-20mA out. (6 maximum per Node Unit)
AAI135 8 inputs, isolated, 4-20 mA. (6 maximum per Node Unit if mixed with other AI/O cards)
AAI141 16 inputs, non-isolated, 4-20 mA. (6 maximum per Node Unit)
AAI835 4 inputs / 4 outputs, isolated, 4-20mA. (6 maximum per Node Unit if mixed with other AI/O
cards)
AAI841 8 input / 8 output non-isolated, 4-20 mA. (6 maximum per Node Unit)
AAP135 8 channels, isolated Pulse input module (0-10 KHZ). (6 maximum per Node Unit)
AAR145 12 channels, isolated, RTD or POT, uses “KS” cable.
AAT141 16 channels, isolated, TC or mV.
AAT145 16 channels, isolated, TC or mV, uses “KS” cable.
AAT181 12 channels, isolated, RTD or POT.
AAV141 16 inputs, non-isolated, 1-5 V.
AAV142 16 inputs, non-isolated, -10 to +10V.
AAV542 16 outputs, non-isolated, –10 to 10V.
Digital Input/Output:
Also definable are the tag mark, security level, and label color when it is selected.
SWITCHES
Communication I/O
This is used with sub system (like a PLC) communications, there are 1000 element numbers available
with a standard FCS, and 4000 with an enhanced CS3000 FCS.
Common Switches
Common switches are flags inside the FCS, and can be used for event signaling to sequence tables.
• 4000 are available for CS3000.
• Switches can be given tag names.
1-400 are Reserved for System use. Switches 1-7 are used in the FCS start operation. The following
chart is from the on-line manual and describes the function of the switches.
FCS Configuration
1. Double click on “FCS0101” in “STUDENTV” and the builders for the field control station appear.
2. Click on “Configuration”, and then double-click on “StnDef” in the “Opened Folder” portion of the
window. The station definition window appears.
3. Move the pointer to the right most icon above “Scan Transmission”, and “Show/Hide detailed
setting items” will appear at the bottom left corner of this builder window. Click on this icon and a
new category will appear.
• NOTE: The “Show/Hide detailed setting items” icon must be selected on any builder to view or
change all of its configurable items.
4. Click on “Detailed Setting”, and change “Interval of Repeated Warning Alarms” to 300 seconds.
Now, save and exit from this builder.
