Introduction
ProSafe-RS can be integrated with FAST/TOOLS, a Yokogawa SCADA system. When Pro-
Safe-RS is integrated with FAST/TOOLS, the SCSs of ProSafe-RS system can be accessed
by FAST/TOOLS through Vnet/IP-Upstream network.
This document describes FAST/TOOLS Integration. When you perform engineering works
and maintenance works for FAST/TOOLS Integration, you should fully understand Part-C in
this document.
Regarding the engineering details of FAST/TOOLS, please refer to the User's Manual of
FAST/TOOLS.
For engineering works in a non-integrated environment or engineering works for CENTUM in-
tegrated system, read ProSafe-RS Vnet/IP (IM 32Q56H10-31E).
Note that the term "Vnet/IP" that has been traditionally used in FAST/TOOLS Integration is
described as "Vnet/IP-Upstream" in R3.02.10 and later. When you refer to ProSafe-RS IM
other than this document, replace the network name "Vnet/ IP with "Vnet/IP-Upstream."
In this document, the system whose type of safety control unit connected to Vnet/IP-Upstream
in FAST/TOOLS Integration is only SSC57 is called "Upstream system." Also, the station con-
nected to Vnet/IP-Upstream and equipped with a Vnet/IP device is called "Vnet/IP station."

n Guidelines for Selecting a Power Supply Unit

Regarding the system of the Product, you must take note of the following precautions by us-
ing a power supply unit to satisfy the various requirements of the EMC regulations:

xiii
• Prevent power supply problems such as power failure or short interruptions.
• Protect the power supply unit against power line noise and lightning surge.
• Suppress power supply harmonic current from devices.
You must consult with the power supply unit suppliers, and then select and install a suitable
power supply unit with the considerations described in the following sections.
l Notices on Deciding the Output Capacity of Power Supply Unit

Consult with the power supply unit suppliers and decide a suitable output capacity of the pow-
er supply unit with the following considerations:
• Power consumption
Power consumed in both volt-ampere (VA) and watt (W).
• Device crest factor
Ratio of the peak value to the effective value of input current supplied to each device.
• Device inrush current
The maximum inrush current when power is turned on.
• Power failure backup time
Time required to back up the devices when power fails.
• Reserve capacity
An extra power capacity for additional devices and so on.
SEE
ALSO For more information about power consumption (VA/W) and inrush current, refer to:
l Crest Factor
The crest factor refers to the ratio of the peak value to the effective value of any input current
of a device.
Input voltage waveform
Input current waveform Approximately 5 ms

Peak value
Effective value

Crest factor =
Effective value
Figure Info-1 Input voltage and current waveforms
Crest Factor=Peak value of the current supplied to the device / Effective value of the current
When selecting a power supply unit, you need to estimate the power supply output capacity,
based on the crest factor of the input current supplied to every connected device. Estimate
the device crest factors by using the following approximate values when selecting a power
supply unit:
• 100 V system: Crest factor about 3

xiv
• 220 V system: Crest factor about 6
l How to Decide the Power Supply Unit

The commonly used methods for determining the power supply unit capacity with considera-
tion of the crest factor are shown below. Note that the power supply unit capacity should be
finally decided after consulting with the power supply unit supplier:
• If the power unit crest factor is larger than the device crest factor, the power unit can be
used to its full rated capacity. However, factors such as device inrush current, backup
time, and reserve capacity must be taken into consideration separately.
• If the power unit crest factor is smaller than the device crest factor, the power unit capaci-
ty must be calculated using the following formula. Factors such as device inrush current,
backup time, and reserve capacity must be taken into consideration separately.
Power unit output capacity = Total device power consumption × Capacity coeff
icient
Capacity coefficient = Device crest factor/Power unit crest factor
l Inrush Current
When a device is turned on, the large inrush current flows in because of the momentary
charging current for capacitors. Therefore, the minimum requirement is that the inrush current
produced by turning on some devices should not cause any voltage fluctuations that may af-
fect other devices. For turning on all devices together, a soft start or switching to uninterrupti-
ble backup power should be required.
When the power is turned on, the inrush current can trip the overload protector, and then may
switch to the backup power or commercial power supply. You should select a power supply
unit that can automatically and seamlessly recover the normal power supply when overload-
ing ends.
l Suppressing Harmonic Current

To suppress the power supply harmonic current that flows to a low-voltage distribution sys-
tem, a power supply unit or an active filter as described below should be installed between a
device and the low-voltage distribution system:
• A power supply unit that can suppress the power supply harmonic current, such as a high
power factor inverter-type uninterruptible power unit
• An active filter unit for suppressing the power supply harmonic current
For Europe, you must select a power supply unit that can meet the requirements on the limits
for harmonic current emissions of the EMC Directives.
Aside from determining the output capacity of the power supply unit, you should also deter-
mine the capacity of the harmonic current suppressing unit after consultation with the supplier
of your power supply unit.

<A. Integration with FAST/TOOLS function> A-1
A. Integration with FAST/TOOLS

function
In a system integrated with FAST/TOOLS, ProSafe-RS SCSs can be accessed from FAST/
TOOLS via Vnet/IP-Upstream network.
A network with FAST/TOOLS Integration function works in the Standard, Wide-area, or Nar-
rowband mode. Specifications, including the network mode and network configuration depend
on the type of the Safety Control Unit in SCS that is connected to the Vnet/IP-Upstream net-
work.
FAST/TOOLS Integration function includes functions that are common in all network modes,
and functions for the Narrowband mode only.
Functions including the gas flow rate calculation and the data buffering are available in
SCSU1 as well as the conventional FAST/TOOLS Integration function.

<A1. FAST/TOOLS Integration configuration> A1-1
A1. FAST/TOOLS Integration

configuration
The SCSs that can be used for FAST/TOOLS integration are SCSP1, SCSP2, and SCSU1.
FAST/TOOLS Integration network using SCSP1 and SCSP2 can be set to Standard mode
and Wide-area mode.
FAST/TOOLS Integration network using SCSU1 can be set to Standard mode, Wide-area
mode and Narrowband mode. Narrowband mode has limits on the number of windows that
can be displayed and the number of SCSs that can be connected.
n Notes on integration with FAST/TOOLS

Precautions for FAST/TOOLS Integration are as follows:
IMPORTANT
• Install FAST/TOOLS and SENG in different computers.
• You cannot grant licenses for both CENTUM VP/CS 3000 Integration Engineering Pack-
age and FAST/TOOLS Integration Engineering Package to the same computer.
• Do not install CENTUM software in computers that use FAST/TOOLS Integration Engi-
neering Package.
• The Vnet/IP network of a CENTUM system and the Vnet/IP-Upstream network of a FAST/
TOOLS Integration system must be physically segregated. Connection via a switch or a
router is not allowed, either.
• ProSafe-RS systems built on a V net network cannot be integrated with FAST/TOOLS.
Therefore, the V net router (AVR10D) cannot be used also.
• Connection via Exaopc interface is not allowed in a system integrated with FAST/TOOLS.
• The Standard mode and Wide-area mode can be set for each domain. However, the Nar-
rowband mode cannot be set for each domain and must be set to all domains. It cannot
be used together with other modes.

<A1.1 Outlines of FAST/TOOLS integrated system> A1-2
A1.1 Outlines of FAST/TOOLS integrated

system
The following describes the functions in the FAST/TOOLS Integration system and the system
configuration:
• On a safety engineering PC (SENG) having a license for the FAST/TOOLS Integration
Engineering Package, you can define domain properties and the tag names for the data
of SCSs accessed by FAST/TOOLS.
• From FAST/TOOLS, the data of STARDOM FCN/FCJ and ProSafe-RS SCS can be com-
prehensively monitored.
• Vnet/IP-Upstream is used as the control bus for linking ProSafe-RS, FAST/TOOLS,
STARDOM and PRM.
• The field devices connected to STARDOM and the field devices connected to ProSafe-
RS can be comprehensively managed through PRM.
• Since SCSU1 supports SCS data buffering and the gas flow rate calculation, you can
configure the system without STARDOM.
IMPORTANT
• FAST/TOOLS integration is certified as Interference-Free.
• The system should be configured so that abnormalities in SCS and the devices connec-
ted to SCS are all detected by the ProSafe-RS system, and the diagnostic information
upon detection of abnormality should be confirmed on SENG.
n System configuration
The following illustrates a sample system configuration in Wide-area mode/Narrowband mode
of Vnet/IP-Upstream network in FAST/TOOLS Integration configuration.
The SCSs that can be used for FAST/TOOLS Integration configuration are SCSP1, SCSP2,
and SCSU1.

n Upstream system SCS overview

SCSU1 is provided as an SCS for building an Upstream system. If the type of SCS connect-
ing to Vnet/IP-Upstream network includes only SCSU1, Vnet/IP-Upstream network can be
used in Narrowband mode. Also, the Gas flow rate calculation FB is supported only in
SCSU1.

n Data when starting SCS

The data specification for SCSU1 is the same as other SCS's. SCSU1 has data retaining
function that stores retainable data in memory with battery backup that is not supported by
other SCSs.
The following describes the in-memory data status when SCS is started after offline down-
load, started after power is restored, and manually restarted.

n Components of FAST/TOOLS Integration system

The following are necessary components to connect a FAST/TOOLS integrated ProSafe-RS
system to a Vnet/IP-Upstream network.

l Vnet/IP station
A station in which a component with a Vnet/IP interface is installed is called a Vnet/IP station.
The Vnet/IP station in a domain is connected to Layer 2 switch in each bus.
• SENG
An SENG is connected to the Vnet/IP-Upstream network through a Vnet/IP interface card
(VI702/VI701) installed on the computer. The VI702/VI701 card has two ports for connec-
tion to the UTP cables to support Vnet/IP-Upstream bus redundancy.
• SCS
SCS is used as a safety controller for the FAST/TOOLS Integration system. The Safety
Control Stations that can be connected to Vnet/IP-Upstream include SSC60S/SSC60D
(SCSP2), SSC50S/SSC50D (SCSP1), and SSC57S/SSC57D (SCSU1).
l Vnet/IP-Upstream domain
A Vnet/IP-Upstream domain consists of two independent subnets on each bus.
You can define up to 31 Vnet/IP-Upstream domains. A Vnet/IP-Upstream domain cannot han-
dle a Vnet station.
l Layer 2 switch
Vnet/IP stations and general-purpose Ethernet communication devices in a domain are con-
nected to Vnet/IP buses through the Layer 2 switches (L2SW). At least one L2SW is required
for bus1 and bus 2 respectively.
l Layer 3 switch
A layer 3 switch (L3SW) is used to connect between Vnet/IP-Upstream domains on each bus.
l Router
This is used to connect Vnet/IP-Upstream domains in a wide-area network.
l Ethernet device
STARDOM stations and general-purpose Ethernet communication devices in which a Vnet/IP
interface card is not installed are connected to bus 2 of Vnet/IP-Upstream.
IMPORTANT
• When the bandwidth used by Vnet/IP-Upstream is 100 Mbps, control the traffic flowing
from general-purpose Ethernet devices into a Vnet/IP-Upstream network according to the
engineering guidelines of FAST/TOOLS.
• When the bandwidth used by Vnet/IP-Upstream is 1 Gbps, use a hub to control the traffic
flowing from general-purpose Ethernet devices to a Vnet/IP-Upstream network so as to
prevent it from exceeding 300 Mbps (for example, three 100 Mbps ports).
To connect Vnet/IP-Upstream network to an external network such as wide-area network,

separate the network using a router.

IMPORTANT
In a system using open communication on bus 2 of Vnet/IP-Upstream, when you connect
SCSs in Vnet/IP-Upstream network where general-purpose Ethernet devices are connected,
use intelligent switches such as Layer 2 switches in order to prevent multi-casting of open
communication from flowing into the SCSs.
l STARDOM Controller
Open communication is performed between a STARDOM controller (FCN/FCJ) and a FAST/
TOOLS station. A network of STARDOM controllers can be configured for redundancy by us-
ing bus 2 as the primary bus and bus 1 as the secondary bus.
l SNTP server
This can be a reference for network time.
In addition to an SNTP server connected to Vnet/IP-Upstream network, a reference for net-
work time can also be an SNTP server that STARDOM references.

<A1.2 Overview of a Vnet/IP-Upstream network> A1-8
A1.2 Overview of a Vnet/IP-Upstream network

Vnet/IP-Upstream is the name of a network for control communication and is compliant with
IEEE802.3 standards. This is a reliable network as redundancy is achieved using Bus 1 and
Bus 2.
The transmission speed depends on the network mode used. The Standard mode supports 1
Gbps, the Wide-area mode supports 100 Mbps or more, and the Narrowband mode supports
2 Mbps up to less than 100 Mbps.
A Vnet/IP-Upstream network is built by using network devices such as Layer 2 and Layer 3
switches, and transmission media such as UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables and optical
fiber cables.
n Communication channels of control communication and open

communication
A Vet/IP-Upstream network is a redundant network for control communication. In Vnet/IP-Up-
stream, redundant buses are configured with independent subnets of bus 1 and bus 2.
Normally, bus 1 is used for control communication. When bus 1 fails for some reason, bus 2 is
used for control communication. Ethernet communication is performed by either installing an
Ethernet network apart from the Vnet/IP-Upstream or using bus 2 of the Vnet/IP-Upstream.
Ethernet communication using bus 2 of the Vnet/IP-Upstream is referred as open communica-
tion. Open communication always uses bus 2. Note that, if bus 1 fails, bus 2 is used for both
control communications and open communications. In this situation, the bandwidth for open
communication is restricted in order to secure the bandwidth for control communication.
If an Ethernet network is installed in your system, replace the phrase "connect to bus 2 of the
Vnet/IP-Upstream" with "connect to the installed Ethernet" when you read the following de-
scriptions, as long as the phrase is used in the context of performing open communications.

<A1.3 Time synchronization of FAST/TOOLS Integration> A1-9
A1.3 Time synchronization of FAST/TOOLS

Integration
Time synchronization is performed among stations connected to the FAST/TOOLS integrated
Vnet/IP-Upstream network. If you connect an SNTP server to Vnet/IP-Upstream network, you
can specify reference time to synchronize. The stations (hereafter referred to as Vnet/IP sta-
tion) connected to Vnet/IP-Upstream network, which is equipped with a Vnet/IP device, can
have their time synchronized by using the time synchronization mechanism of Vnet/IP-Up-
stream network.
n Types of time synchronization

There are two modes of Vnet/IP-Upstream network time synchronization:
• Synchronization with Vnet/IP time that uses the Vnet/IP-Upstream network time master
for time synchronization
• A method that synchronizes to the SNTP server connected to the Vnet/IP-Upstream net-
work
Use the method that synchronizes to the SNTP server, if you connect STARDOM to a
Vnet/IP-Upstream network.
SEE
ALSO For more information about connecting an SNTP server, refer to:
The user's manual of STARDOM
n Overview of time synchronization

Time synchronization in a Vnet/IP-Upstream network is performed for each time group. A time
group is defined for each domain. The time for the entire Vnet/IP-Upstream network can be
standardized by setting the same time group number for all domains. When synchronizing the
stations in a Vnet/IP-Upstream network with UTC (Universal Time Coordinated), an SNTP
server needs to be connected in each time group.
If the SNTP server is not connected or the time of SNTP server is not synchronized with the
standard time, Vnet/IP station is synchronized in the Vnet/IP time method. One Vnet/IP sta-
tion in the time group is the time master station, and all of the Vnet/IP stations in the time
group are synchronized with the time master station.
When the SNTP server is connected to the Vnet/IP-Upstream network, the engineering work
is required by using the Domain Properties Setting Tool on SENG and the Vnet/IP stations in
the time group are automatically synchronized with the SNTP server.

32Q01C10-31E)
n Accuracy of time synchronization

Time management of Vnet/IP stations is performed through Vnet/IP-Upstream network.
A Vnet/IP station performs time synchronization for the entire Vnet/IP-Upstream network. This
reference time is referred to as the network time. Relative accuracy of network time by the
action mode is as follows:
Table A1.3-1 Accuracy of network time in the Standard mode

Station Relative time accuracy
±1 ms. When one bus is abnormal, the accuracy may become worse than ±1 ms

in proportion to transmission delay time variations among domains.

The system software of a Vnet/IP station references the network time, and adjusts the station
system time according to the network time. Because the method of time adjustment is differ-

ent in each station type, the gap at the system time and the network time is as follows respec-
tively.
Table A1.3-4 Accuracies of the system time

The deviation between the network time and the system
SENG or other stations oper- time will be checked all the time. If the deviation ex-
Maximum 500 ms
ating on a computer ceeds 500 ms, the system time will be adjusted to the
network time.
The system time always synchronizes with the network
SCSP2/SCSP1/SCSU1 None
time.
n Time groups
The time group denotes a range in which time synchronization is performed. The entire
Vnet/IP-Upstream network can be defined on one time group. On the other hand, by separat-
ing domains in the same Vnet/IP-Upstream network into time groups, the range in which time
synchronization is performed can be limited.
The time group number to which the domain belongs is 0 to 7. The default time group number
is 1. To perform time synchronization only within a domain, set the time group number to 0.
If an SNTP server does not exist in a time group, one of the Vnet/IP stations in a time group
will act as the time master station, and other Vnet/IP stations in the same time group will syn-
chronize with the time of the time master station.
n Engineering on time group

A time group can be defined using the Domain Properties Setting Tool on SENG.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the time group settings, refer to:
“l Time Group” on page C2-5
n Connection and redundancy of SNTP server

To synchronize the network time of a Vnet/IP station with the standard time, connect an SNTP
server in each time group. Only one SNTP server is connected within the same time group.
Generally, an SNTP server is connected to bus 1 of Vnet/IP-Upstream network. However, if
time synchronization is done with the devices that perform open communication, connect the
SNTP server to bus 2.
For the dual-redundant SNTP servers, one SNTP server needs to be added and connected to
both bus 1 and bus 2. In this case, the time master station in the Vnet/IP network will syn-
chronize the time with the SNTP server that is synchronized with the standard time. If the
SNTP server being referenced fails, the time synchronization will be performed with the other
SNTP server that is normal.
IMPORTANT
If there is a notification that the SNTP server that exists in a time group is not synchronized
with the standard time, all the stations in the time group will synchronize their times with the
time master station in the Vnet/IP network. When the SNTP server time is synchronized again
with the standard time, all the stations in the time group will synchronize their times with the
standard time, instead of the time master station in the Vnet/IP network, at once.

The default IP address of an SNTP server connected to Vnet/IP-Upstream network is as fol-
lows.
• IP address of an SNTP server connected to bus 1 of Vnet/IP-Upstream network:
192.168.<domain number>.254
• IP address of an SNTP server connected to bus 2 of Vnet/IP-Upstream network:
192.168.<128 + domain number>.254
n Time synchronization using FAST/TOOLS as an SNTP server

In Vnet/IP-Upstream Narrowband mode, a computer on which FAST/TOOLS is installed can
be used as an SNTP server instead of installing an SNTP server that is synchronized with the
absolute time. In this case, the OS clock on the computer on which FAST/TOOLS is installed
will be used as reference. Devices that adopts open communication are synchronized with
this SNTP server.
This reference time is communicated to the Time master station within the same time group
with up to 500 ms error by a Vnet/IP-Upstream network time synchronization service and is
reflected on the network time. Therefore, up to 500 ms differences may exist between the
Vnet/IP station time and the time of the open communication devices.
n Time synchronization after powering on Vnet/IP station in Vnet/IP-

Upstream Standard mode
In Vnet/IP-Upstream Standard mode, after a Vnet/IP station is powered on, the time of the
station inches closer to the network time of the same time group. Within 5 seconds after the
station startup, the relative time accuracy becomes 1 second, and within 5 minutes, it be-
comes ±1 ms.
n Time synchronization of SCS connected to Vnet/IP-Upstream

network
The system time of SCS that is connected to Vnet/IP-Upstream network is synchronized with
the network time of the Vnet/IP-Upstream network. Moreover, the DI module installed in the
SCS also synchronizes its time with this network time through SB/ESB buses.
If an SNTP server is available in the network, the SCS stations is synchronized with the
standard time. The accuracy of the synchronization with the standard time depends on the
SNTP server. If the SNTP server is not installed, the SCS is synchronized with the network
time, that is, the time of the time master station of Vnet/IP-Upstream network.
The state of the time synchronization of SCS stations, whether it is synchronized with the
standard time of SNTP server or not synchronized with the standard time but is synchronized
with the time master station, can be found using the following function block or monitored on
the following window.
• Output of the system function block (SYS_NETST)
• SCS State Management window of the SCS Maintenance Support Tool of SENG. The
time synchronization state of SCSP1/SCSP2/SCSU1 is displayed in Time Sync of the list
view when the CPU node is selected.
Even if the state of the time synchronization with the SCS time changes, no diagnostic infor-
mation massage or system alarm is output to notify this event. If the time synchronization
event needs to be notified, create an application logic using the SYS_NETST function block to
output the event to an external alarm lamp or to an annunciator.
Note, however, that the Synchronous Mode of SCS stations on the Communication tab of the
SCS Constants Builder should be set to Vnet/IP regardless the SNTP sever is available or
not.

3.1.3, “SCS Constants Builder” in Engineering Reference (IM 32Q04B10-31E)
n SCS SOER functions connected to the Vnet/IP-Upstream network

SCS SOER functions and behavior have no differences between when they are connected to
the Vnet/IP-Upstream network and when they are connected to the Vnet/IP network. In addi-
tion, SCSU1 SOER functions are not different from those of SCSP1. For more information re-
garding SCSU1 SOER functions, refer to the descriptions on SCSP1.
However, in Narrowband mode, the SOE event collection function is restricted in SENG be-
cause the network bandwidth is reduced.

<A1.4 Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status> A1-14
A1.4 Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status

This chapter explains how to check the Vnet/IP-Upstream bus communication status
n Overview of Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status

In the SCS State Management window of the SCS Maintenance Support Tool on SENG, the
communication status of the buses in the domain that contains the SCS can be checked. By
creating an application logic using the system function block (SYS_NETST) that outputs the
bus status, the bus status can be output to an external alarm lamp for notification.
n Elements of the Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status

The Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status shows the communication status of the entire Vnet/IP-Up-
stream network, i.e., the stations in all the connected domains, as well as the devices (such
as Layer 3 switches) connecting the domains. For example, if abnormality occurs in bus 1 of a
station in domain 5 while you are monitoring through the SCS State Management window on
an SENG of domain 1, you can see the status of bus 1 of Vnet/IP-Upstream indicating abnor-
mality.
The Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status consists of the following three elements:
• Bus status in own domain
• Communication status of devices connecting the domains
• Bus status of other domains

Information of domains is not
broadcasted beyond domains
except the bus status.

Figure A1.4-1 Elements of the Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status
l Indication of the status of communication between stations in a domain

Each station in a Vnet/IP-Upstream domain diagnoses bus statuses mutually by using bus 1
and bus 2. For the dual-redundant station, the control side and standby side diagnose bus
statuses alternately. Each station in a domain indicates the communication status of all sta-
tions for each bus based on the diagnostic information.
Communication statuses for a station are shown as follows.
• Communication status between stations from the control side (*1) to the control side
(*1).
• Communication status between stations from the control side (*1) to the standby side.
• Communication status between stations from the standby side to the control side (*1).
• Communication status between stations from the standby side to the standby side.

<A1.4 Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status> A1-15
*1: Including non-redundant station such as SENG, SCS station with single CPU.
l Bus status in a domain

The bus status in a domain is created from the communication status among stations in each
domain. If the bus status shows abnormality, the meaning varies with the type of failure:
• Either bus failure (either bus 1 or bus 2)
When either bus 1 or bus 2 encounters communication error, the status of the bus will be
indicated as abnormal.
• Both bus failure (both bus 1 and bus 2)
If both buses encounter errors, the first one will be indicated as abnormal. Failure of both
buses cannot be indicated.
TIP If both buses are failed to communicate with a specific station, it will be indicated as the station failure, and
the bus status will not be indicated as abnormal.
l Communication statuses of devices connecting domains

Between Vnet/IP-Upstream domains, communication is performed and monitored by bus 1
and bus 2. Communication status of the devices connecting domains are held as a matrix of
status for all combinations of domains for each bus.
The bus status of one domain can be broadcasted to all the stations in the Vnet/IP-Upstream
network through the communication between the domains.
n Priority of the Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status

The Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status represents a summary of all communication statuses in the
following order:
• Bus Status in Own Domain
If the bus status of own domain is abnormal, it is reflected in the Vnet/IP-Upstream bus
status. In case of either bus failure, the status of the failed bus is handled as abnormal. In
case of both bus failures, only the status of the bus in which abnormality is detected first
is handled as abnormal.
• Communication Statuses of Devices Connecting Domains
While the bus status of own domain is normal, the communication statuses of devices
connecting domains are reflected in the Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status. In case of either
bus failure, the status of the failed bus is handled as abnormal. In case of both bus fail-
ures, only the status of the bus in which abnormality is detected first is handled as abnor-
mal.
• Bus Statuses of Other Domains
If the communication statuses of all devices connecting domains are normal, the bus sta-
tuses of other domains are reflected in the Vnet/IP-Upstream bus status. However, even
if a different bus is abnormal in different domains, the Vnet/IP-Upstream bus statuses of
both buses are not handled as abnormal, and only the status of the bus in which abnor-
mality is detected first is handled as abnormal.

<A2. Vnet/IP-Upstream Standard/Wide-area modes> A2-1
A2. Vnet/IP-Upstream Standard/Wide-

area modes
Vnet/IP-Upstream network works in the Standard, Wide-area, or Narrowband mode. The net-
work configuration and the connection topology depend on the network mode respectively.
Use the Vnet/IP-Upstream Standard and Wide-area modes for a network bandwidth of 100
Mbps or more.
When a Vnet/IP-Upstream domain is created, engineering work is allowed after configuring
the computer as SENG. Set the address, the domain number, and the station number of hard-
ware using a network configuration and a connection topology for your desired network mode.

<A2.1 Network configuration in Standard and Wide-area modes> A2-2
A2.1 Network configuration in Standard and

Wide-area modes
This section describes the components of the systems that constitute a Vnet/IP-Upstream
network in Standard/Wide-are modes.
IMPORTANT
In the ProSafe-RS system where the FAST/TOOLS Integration Package is used, ensure that
no path connects to a V net or CENTUM Vnet/IP network.
n Network configuration overview in Standard and Wide-area modes

To put Vnet/IP-Upstream network into Standard/Wide-area modes, set the network mode by
using Domain Properties Setting Tool.
l Number of domains
Up to 31 domains can be connected. (However, domains that have any CENTUM station can-
not be connected.)
l Specifications of the network in Standard and Wide-area modes

You can select the scale of a domain either as "Standard" or "Wide-area" according to the dis-
tance between stations in the domain. This selection can be made by using the Domain Prop-
erties Setting Tool of ProSafe-RS.
If you select "Wide-area," the specifications of the domain will be as follows:
Communication speed: 100 Mbps or more
Distance between stations: Up to 1000 km (transmission delay is 40 ms or less)
If you select "Standard," the specifications of the domain will be as follows:
Communication speed: 1 Gbps
Distance between stations: Up to 40 km (transmission delay is 1 ms or less)
l Redundancy of open communication

In the Vnet/IP-Upstream network of a FAST/TOOLS integrated system, you can connect the
devices performing Vnet/IP-Upstream open communication and TCP/IP open communication,
not only to Vnet/IP-Upstream bus 2 but also to bus 1. This enables dual-redundant communi-
cation between STARDOM FCN/FCJ and FAST/TOOLS.

<A2.2 Network connection in Standard and Wide-area modes> A2-3
A2.2 Network connection in Standard and Wide-

area modes
This section describes the various types of connections required to build a Vnet/IP-Upstream
network.
• Connect devices included in Vnet/IP-Upstream domain
• Connection between Vnet/IP-Upstream domains

A2.2.1 Connect devices included in Vnet/IP-Upstream

domain
Devices in a Vnet/IP-Upstream domain are connected in a star topology using a Layer 2
switch as the central device. Since the redundantly configured Vnet/IP-Upstream buses must
be separated as independent subnets on each bus, it is necessary to install a Layer 2 switch
for each bus.
IMPORTANT
Multiple stations are connected to Layer 2 switches. It is strongly recommended to provide an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for Layer 2 switches so that they will not stop due to pow-
er failure.
If the Layer 2 switches stop due to power failure, there will be the following effects:
• A communication error will occur if Layer 2 switches for the buses stop due to power fail-
ure.
• For dual-redundant SCS, if the Layer 2 switches for both buses fail, the control will be
switched to the standby CPU in rare cases, causing the dual-redundant SCS to operate
in non-redundant mode.
• If a Layer 2 switch is restarted after momentary power failure, it takes several tens of sec-
onds for the communications between stations to recover.
n Specifications of connection within a Vnet/IP-Upstream domain

Standard or Wide-area setting can be selected as the extended specification of the Vnet/IP-
Upstream.
The specifications of network connection within a Vnet/IP domain are shown below:
l When Wide-area domain is selected

Distance between Vnet/IP stations: Up to 1000 km
Transmission delay: 40 ms or less
Levels of Layer 2 switches: No limit
l When Standard domain is selected

Distance between Vnet/IP stations: Up to 40 km
Levels of Layer 2 switches: Up to 7 levels
Distance between Layer 2 switch and station: Up to 100 m (when using
UTP cable)
Up to 5 km (when optical fiber
cable is used)
Connecting distance between Layer 2 switches: Up to 5 km (when optical fiber
cable is used)

IMPORTANT
Avoid the connection in which multiple communication routes exist between any two stations.
Otherwise, the communication may not be properly performed.

Figure A2.2.1-1 Improper connection
TIP As for a dual-redundant SCS, both the controlling-side and standby-side CPU modules are connected to a
Layer 2 switch with UTP cables, but the SCS is counted as one station.

A2.2.2 Connection between Vnet/IP-Upstream domains

A Layer 3 switch is required for the connection between Vnet/IP-Upstream domains. Install a
Layer 3 switch for each of the dual-redundant Vnet/IP-Upstream buses and connect it to other
domains. By connecting multiple domains using a leased line, a network of domains can be
established over a broad area.
IMPORTANT
Multiple stations are connected to Layer 3 switches. It is strongly recommended to provide an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for Layer 3 switches so that they will not stop due to
power failure.
n Specification when connecting between Vnet/IP-Upstream domains

The specification of connection between Vnet/IP-Upstream domains is as follows:
• Multi-level connection of Vnet/IP-Upstream domains: Max. 15 levels (16 layers) of
Layer 3 switches
• Transmission delay between any domains: Under 250 ms
IMPORTANT
• Avoid the connection in which multiple communication routes exist between any two do-
mains. Otherwise, the communication may not be properly performed.

• If inter-SCS safety communications are performed among domains in a wide-area net-

work, it is recommended that the bandwidth for communication be 100 Mbps or greater.

<A2.3 Outline of station setup> A2-7
A2.3 Outline of station setup

Engineering work to create Vnet/IP-Upstream domains is performed on an SENG. Before
starting the engineering work, you need to set up a computer for use as an SENG.
The engineering for building a system of Vnet/IP-Upstream domain is as follows:
• Network Engineering
Select devices that configures Vnet/IP-Upstream network. In addition, set IP address.
• Engineering for SCSP2/SCSP1/SCSU1 stations on SENG
On an SENG, define the SCSP2/SCSP1/SCSU1 stations and create the applications.
IMPORTANT
In a system using open communication on bus 2 of Vnet/IP-Upstream, when you connect
SCSs in Vnet/IP-Upstream network where general-purpose Ethernet devices are connected,
use intelligent switches as Layer 2 switches in order to prevent multicasting of open communi-
cation from flowing into the SCSs.

n Setting addresses on hardware

This section explains the hardware address, domain number, station number and other set-
ting items for Vnet/IP stations.
l SCS Hardware setting items

SCS hardware setting items include the domain number and the station number for each
Vnet/IP station. The Vnet/IP-Upstream address will be automatically determined according to
the domain number and the station number set on the hardware.
If the station has dual-redundant CPU modules, the same domain and station numbers
should be set on both the control side and stand-by side. If the control side and standby side
have different numbers, the CPU of the standby side cannot start for dual-redundant opera-
tion.
Usually, set the FIX switch on the CPU module of the SCS to OFF. OFF means Auto Negotia-
tion. By default, OFF is set.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the hardware setting, refer to:
• 4.2, “Processor Module” in Safety Control Stations (Hardware) (IM 32Q06C10-31E)
• 6.7, “Setting the Vnet/IP Interface Card Station Address” in Safety Control Stations (Hardware) (IM
32Q06C10-31E)
l Domain number
The Vnet/IP-Upstream domain number needs to be set within the range from 1 to 31.
The domain number can be set by the DIP switch on the hardware.

<A2.3 Outline of station setup> A2-8
l Station number
The Vnet/IP station number needs to be set within the range of 1 to 64. The station numbers
in the same domain should not be identical.
The station number can be set by the DIP switch on the hardware.

<A3. Vnet/IP-Upstream Narrowband mode> A3-1
A3. Vnet/IP-Upstream Narrowband

mode
Vnet/IP-Upstream network is the network to distribute small-sized control systems and safety
systems over wells and pipelines distributed in broad areas. Vnet/IP-Upstream network is
used in order to integrate FAST/TOOLS and ProSafe-RS.
In Narrowband mode of Vnet/IP-Upstream network that uses SCSU1 only, SCSs can be in-
stalled at wells distributed in wider area, because network with narrower bandwidth is suppor-
ted.
In Narrowband mode, unnecessary functions are limited depending on usage conditions of
the line.

mode
This section describes the components and specification of the system that is built on a
Vnet/IP-Upstream network.
n Connection specifications in Narrowband mode

To use Vnet/IP-Upstream network in Narrowband mode, you need to set the network mode by
using the Domain Properties Setting Tool.
l Details of connection specifications

The following specification applies when "Narrowband" mode is set using the Domain Proper-
ties Setting Tool of ProSafe-RS. For the items that are not shown below, specification is the
same as when set to "Standard" mode.
Bandwidth: 2 Mbps or more
Distance between Vnet/IP stations: 10000 km or less
Transmission delay: 500 ms or less
Levels of Layer 2 switches within a domain: No limit

<A3.2 Functions and configuration of Vnet/IP-Upstream in Narrowband mode> A3-3
A3.2 Functions and configuration of Vnet/IP-

Upstream in Narrowband mode
When the Vnet/IP-Upstream network is used in Narrowband mode, automatic collection of
SOE events and diagnostic information messages that occurred in SCSs are suspended or
window display is restricted to use the narrow band effectively.
For these purposes, when you use the Vnet/IP-Upstream network in Narrowband mode,
group SCSs and SENGs that have the same narrowband network in their communication
paths, and restrict communication for each of these groups. The grouped unit is called "Nar-
rowband group." Configuring the Narrowband groups is called "Narrowband group definition."
n Overview of the communication procedure in Narrowband mode for

SCS Maintenance Support Tool
This section describes an overview of the communication procedure in Narrowband mode,
comparing with the procedure in Standard/Wide-area modes.
In Standard/Wide-area modes, Message Cache Service periodically creates a list of SCSs it
actually communicate with, and will communicate with all the SCSs in the list one by one.
In Narrowband mode, Message Cache Service creates a list of SCSs to communicate with,
and then verifies each SCS in the list referring to the narrowband group definition information.
As a result of verification, the SENG will communicate only with the SCSs that meet all the
following conditions:
• The SCS belongs to a narrowband group.
• The number of SCSs allowed for communication that is set for the narrowband group to
which the SCS belongs is not exceeded.
• Automatic data acquisition is not suspended for the narrowband group to which the SCS
belongs.
• Automatic data acquisition is enabled for the SCS, or the SCS is included in the back-
ground data acquisition.
For SENG in Narrowband mode, there is a limit on the number of windows that can be dis-
played by using SCS Maintenance Support Tool.
In Standard/Wide-area modes, the SENG is collecting data from SCSs while the SCS Mainte-
nance Support Tool window is displayed. As for SOE viewer and the Diagnostic Information
window, the data collection from the SCSs displayed in the window will continue in the back-
ground even after the window is closed. The automatic data acquisition function of Message
Cache Tool periodically collects SOE events and diagnostic information messages from
SCSs.
In Narrowband mode, you can start only one SOE viewer and only one Diagnostic Information
window. For the collection of SOE events and diagnostic information messages, there are lim-
its on the number of SCSs and limits of timing in which you can perform collection simultane-
ously. If you close the Diagnostic Information window or SOE viewer, collection in the back-
ground is stopped.
SEE
ALSO For more information about background collection and auto collection, refer to:
“n Acquisition of SOE events and diagnostic information messages occurred in SCS” on page A3-4
n Tips for using Narrowband communication line

The following functions of the SCS maintenance support tool are subject to restricted commu-
nication when used in Narrowband mode:
• Collection of SOE events and diagnostic information messages occurred in SCS

• SCS status display
• Display of SOE events and diagnostic information messages
With ProSafe-RS, you can collect SOE events and diagnostic information messages that oc-
curred in SCSs as well as display the SCS status, SOE events, and diagnostic information
messages.
In Narrowband mode, because the communication line bandwidth is narrower than in the
Standard or Wide-area mode, communication for data collection and display functions are
kept minimized.
n Acquisition of SOE events and diagnostic information messages

occurred in SCS
SOE events and diagnostic information messages occurred in SCSs are automatically ac-
quired. Background data acquisition will continue even after SOE Viewer is closed. In the Nar-
rowband mode, automatic data acquisition and background data acquisition can be limited. In
the context of the Narrowband mode, automatic data acquisition and background data acquis-
ition are collectively referred to as "data acquisition."
l Background data acquisition

Background data acquisition is started when a query is run in SOE viewer or when a Diagnos-
tic Information window is displayed.
It will not collect newly generated SOE events or diagnostic information messages after back-
ground collection completes.
Background data acquisition collects data from SCSs displayed in the SOE viewer or Diag-
nostic Information window. It will continue the execution until it collects all the SOE events and
diagnostic information messages that SCS retains. Background collection stops if it collects
all, and will not be resumed until you run a query again in the SOE viewer or until you redis-
play the Diagnostic Information window.
TIP The Diagnostic Information window receives and displays not only the diagnostic information messages col-
lected in the background but also the diagnostic information messages broadcast from SCS. The window dis-
plays the latest diagnostic information messages even after the background data acquisition is completed. It
does not display the diagnostic information messages that it could not receive. In addition, broadcasted mes-
sages are not stored as cache data but only displayed in the Diagnostic Information window.
l Automatic data acquisition

The message collection configured as automatic acquisition (hereafter referred to as automat-
ic acquisition) is started for an SCS when you set the SCS as a target of automatic acquisition
by using the Message Cache Tool. Once automatic acquisition is started, the message cach-
ing service periodically checks if a new SOE event and diagnostic information message are
generated for the preset SCS. If any new SOE event or diagnostic information message exist
in the SCS, auto collection will collect the SOE events and or its diagnostic information mes-
sages and store them as cached data.
n Behaviors in Narrowband mode

If you set the network mode to Narrowband mode by using the Domain Properties Setting
Tool, SCS maintenance support tool will also operate in narrowband mode.
l SCS status display in the Narrowband mode

In the Standard and Wide-area modes, the update cycle of SCS Status Overview window of
SCS Maintenance Support Tool is 1 second. In the Narrowband mode, because the number
of SCSs allowed for communication per display update cycle to retrieve status information is

limited; therefore, updating of the status display is delayed depending on the limited number
of communicated SCSs for each narrowband group.
The behaviors of SCS Status Overview window in the Narrowband mode are as follows:
• The SCS Status Overview window obtains SCS statuses through periodical communica-
tion with SCSs within the number of SCSs allowed for communication per display update
cycle, which is set using the SCS Maintenance Support Tool.
Example:
When 20 SCSs are displayed in the SCS Status Overview window and the num-
ber of SCSs allowed for communication per display update cycle is set to 10, the
SENG communicates with 10 SCSs every second to obtain the status. As a result,
the status display for each SCS is updated at two second intervals.
TIP The number of SCSs allowed for communication per display update cycle is limited by the setting in the Nar-
rowband Group Definition window. Therefore, even if an alarm occurs in an SCS, the status of the SCS may
be displayed as normal until the communication for obtaining the status of that SCS is completed.
Example:
Even if a diagnostic information message indicating Fail is broadcasted and displayed for a certain
SCS, the status of that SCS remains READY.
• Blank will be displayed for the "SCS Status," "CPU Status" and "Comment" of the SCS
whose status is not obtained.
• When navigating from SCS State Management window to SCS Status Overview window
and then returning to SCS State Management window again, the statuses are obtained
from the beginning of the SCS list of the SCS Status Overview window.
• The Diagnostic Information button for SCS whose status is not obtained is displayed in
gray until the status is obtained, but the button is operational. Clicking the button displays
the Diagnostic Information window to enable to check received messages.
• Even if the status in the SCS Status Overview window is not updated, SCS State Man-
agement window can be called for the SCS.
• If a narrowband group where automatic acquisition is paused exists in the Narrowband
Group Definition window of the Message Cache Tool, "(Pause)" is displayed at the head
of the window title of the SCS Status Overview window.
• The Suspended data acquisition checkbox does not affect update of the SCS Status
Overview window. Display of SCS state list is also updated even for SCS that belongs to
a narrowband group with pause state. The purpose of the Suspended data acquisition
checkbox is to pause the collection of SOE events and diagnostic information messages.
• The SENG only obtains the status of SCSs that are displayed in the SCS Status Over-
view window and also contained in the SCS list of a narrowband group. The SENG does
not communicate with SCSs that became hidden as a result of scrolling or resizing the
SCS Status Overview window.
• When the SCS displayed at the top of the list is changed by scroll operation or change of
the window size, statuses are obtained again from the SCS that newly comes to the top
of the list.
• When the SCS that is displayed at the top of the list is not changed by changing the win-
dow size, including by stretching the window downward to expand the display area, sta-
tuses are not obtained again from the top SCS but update of statuses is continued from
the SCS next to the one that was updated before the change of the window size.
• When a displayed SCS is deleted from a narrowband group, the SCS Status Overview
window continues to display the status before the SCS is deleted.
If you have deleted an SCS or a narrowband group definition in the Narrowband Group
Definition window, display the window again to display the latest state.

SEE
ALSO For more information about sample displays in which automatic acquisition is suspended, refer to:
“n Pausing and starting data acquisition process” on page C3-10
l Behaviors of Message Cache Tool in Narrowband mode

Behaviors of the Message Cache Tool in Narrowband mode are as follows:
• Cache data that is stored in other SENG cannot be referred. The controls on Setup dialog
box that adds other SENG to be referred is disabled.
For example, you cannot add stations in the Setup dialog box in Narrowband mode.
• The Narrowband Group Definition Window button on the Setup dialog box becomes ac-
tive.
• If a narrowband group where the automatic acquisition is paused exists in the Narrow-
band Group Definition window of the Message Cache Tool, "(Pause)" is displayed at the
head of the window title of the Message Cache Tool.
l Behaviors of the Diagnostic Information window in the Narrowband mode

The following are limitations on the Diagnostic Information window in Narrowband mode:
• Only one Diagnostic Information window can be displayed.
• When the Diagnostic Information window is closed, the background acquisition of diag-
nostic information messages on the displayed SCS is stopped.
To display the latest diagnostic information messages on SCS for which automatic data
acquisition is not specified in the Narrowband Group Definition window of the Message
Cache Tool, keep the Diagnostic Information window opened.
• Because the number of SCSs allowed for communication in each data acquisition cycle is
limited, the Narrowband mode takes more time to display all the previous diagnostic infor-
mation messages, compared to Standard mode and Wide-area mode.
• Because the number of SCSs allowed for communication in each data acquisition cycle is
limited, if the SENG fails to receive any latest diagnostic information messages, the Nar-
rowband mode takes more time to display the missing messages in the Diagnostic Infor-
mation window, compared to Standard mode and Wide-area mode.
• If a narrowband group where automatic acquisition is paused exists in the Narrowband
Group Definition window of the Message Cache Tool, "(Pause)" is displayed at the head
of the title of the Diagnostic Information window.
• When an SCS is deleted from a narrowband group while its diagnostic information mes-
sage is being displayed, the messages of that SCS will no longer be updated in the Diag-
nostic Information window. In this situation, ACK and DEL operations have no effect on
the messages of the deleted SCS.
When you have deleted an SCS or a narrowband group definition in the Narrowband
Group Definition window, display the window again to display the latest state.
• Diagnostic information messages of SCSs that do not belong to any narrowband group
are not displayed. For such SCSs, cached messages and broadcast messages are not
displayed, either.
l Behaviors of SOE viewer in the Narrowband mode

Behaviors of the SOE Viewer in the Narrowband mode are as follows:
• Only one window of SOE viewer can be displayed.
• Background data acquisition for the SCS displayed in SOE viewer is stopped after the
viewer is closed. To display the latest diagnostic information messages of SCS not speci-
fied for automatic data acquisition, keep the SOE viewer window opened.

• If SOE viewer is kept opened, collection from the SCSs for which automatic data acquisi-
tion is enabled delays because the number of SCSs allowed for communication in each
data collection cycle is limited.
• Since the number of SCSs allowed for communication in each data collection cycle is
limited, it takes more time to display the latest SOE events, compared to the Standard or
Wide-area mode.
• If there is any narrowband group where data acquisition is paused, "(Pause)" is displayed
on title bar of the SOE Viewer.
l Behaviors of SOE OPC interface in the Narrowband mode

Behaviors of the SOE OPC interface in the Narrowband mode are as follows:
• The SCSs specified in the SOE OPC interface setting receive a request for data collec-
tion from the OPC server via the message cache service at a fixed cycle. Therefore, such
SCSs are in the same condition as the SCS for which automatic data acquisition by the
message cache service is specified.
The SCS specified in the SOE OPC interface setting must be added to a narrowband
group beforehand.
• Up to 100 SCSs can be specified in the SOE OPC interface setting.
• The timing of data collection depends on the number of SCSs allowed for communication
that is specified in the Narrowband Group Definition window of the Message Cache Tool.
Therefore, it takes more time in the Narrowband mode, compared to the Standard or
Wide-area mode.
n Avoiding the limitation on the number of windows that can be

displayed
On the SENG in narrowband system, there is a limit on the number of windows of the SCS
Maintenance Support Tool that can be displayed.
In some cases, however, you can avoid the limitation on the number of windows that can be
displayed by configuring the settings regarding the acquisition of SOE events and diagnostic
information messages in the Narrowband Group Definition window.
SEE
ALSO For more information about configuring the Message Cache Tool's settings to avoid limitation on the number
of windows that can be displayed, refer to:
C3.8, “Collecting data from SCSs in a narrowband system in the same way as in the Standard and
Wide-area modes” on page C3-13
n Log of pause and resumption of automatic data acquisition

Pause and resumption of data acquisition are subject to SENG operation history manage-
ment. In an environment where the Access Control and Operation History Management Pack-
age is installed, the pause and resumption of automatic data acquisition are recorded in the
Common operation log database. They are not recorded in the operation log database for
each SCS project.

B1.1 Details of the data buffering function

The data buffering function saves application logic data of SCS with time stamps and allows

SCSs is disconnected, the data buffering function enables you to view the change in data dur-
ing disconnected communication through the operator interface of FAST/TOOLS after the re-
covery of communication. This function is useful for an environment where the communication
between the FAST/TOOLS and the SCS is unstable or FAST/TOOLS is used in Narrowband.

n Event buffering period of data buffering function blocks and number

of events that can be buffered
By connecting a variable of the application logic to a data buffering function block, the SCS
stores information on the variable in the data buffer of the SCS as an event. To the function
block, you must input the ID number of the variable in addition to the value of the variable.
Use any of the following as the trigger for the buffering:
• Change in the data value
• Fixed cycle
• Detection of a trigger
Information saved as an event is as follows:
• Value of application logic variable
• Time-stamp of variable
• ID number of variable
Time-stamp is the current time of the SCS at the beginning of the scan period of the func-
tion block.
The size of an event saved by the data buffering function block is all the same. The data buf-
fer of SCS can store up to 135000 events. FAST/TOOLS collects 100 events at one time. Ad-
just and set the collection period of FAST/TOOLS to avoid SCS data overflow. When the max-
imum number is exceeded, a new event is sequentially saved by overwriting the oldest event.
The data buffer is initialized when the SCS starts up, including the cases where the SCS is
restarted intentionally or restarted due to offline downloading. Events that were saved in the
data buffer before the SCS stops are erased.

Appendix 1.1, “Function blocks for data buffering function” on page App.1-2
n FAST/TOOLS engineering for event collection and items to specify

FAST/TOOLS collects events that are buffered in SCSs. To collect events, determine the fol-
lowing in the engineering of FAST/TOOLS:
• Event scan interval
• Catch up scan interval
To associate a data item of FAST/TOOLS with a variable of the SCS application logic, specify
the following for the data item:
• Tag name of the variable

<B1.2 Engineering for data buffering > B1-4
• ID number of the variable
Once the ID number of a variable is specified for a data item, the data buffering function will
collect data for the data item.

Figure B2.1-1 Functional configuration of the Gas flow rate calculation function
n Gas flow rate calculation function

Gas flow rate calculation function calculates gas flow rate, coefficient of compressibility, and
speed of sound based on AGA specification. For gas flow rate calculation, AGA_3 and
AGA_7 function blocks are used.

n Report data creation function

Report data creation function accumulates and averages the output values of gas flow rate
calculation function blocks and creates daily/hourly closing data for gas flow rate and so on.
For report data creation, AGA_R function block is used.
n Data buffering function

Data buffering function saves SCS application logic data with time stamps and allows FAST/
TOOLS to collect the data.
SEE
ALSO For more information about details of the data buffering functions, refer to:
B1.1, “Details of the data buffering function” on page B1-2
n Data retaining function

The data retaining function retains retainable data at SCS restart. It is realized by storing the
values of retainable data in the battery backed-up memory and restoring it at SCS restart.
The data retaining function is provided in the function blocks related to the gas flow rate cal-
culation function, and used for the following purpose:
• Retain parameter values set to the SCS from external devices such as FAST/TOOLS:
Use the external communication function block with data retaining function
• Retain intermediate results before the closing processing, the last daily closing data, and
the last hourly closing data: Use the report data creation function block
Even if the SCS is restarted before the data are collected by FAST/TOOLS, the closing
data is not lost because the calculation of accumulated values and the average values
continues from the data immediately before the restart.
n External communication function block with the data retaining

function
External communication function blocks with data retaining function enables data setting to
the application logic of the SCS from an external device. External communication function
blocks with data retaining function are ECWR_B, ECWR_I, and ECWR_R.
By using the external communication function blocks with data retaining function, the parame-
ter values to be input to function block of the gas flow rate calculation function can be set from
an external device such as FAST/TOOLS, and the set parameters can be retained.
n Supporting for user defined gas flow calculation

The following FUs and FB are provided to support user-defined gas flow calculation:
• ACCUM
• POWE
• LOGE

SEE
ALSO For more information about ACCUM (Accumulation), refer to:
Appendix 1.2.7, “ACCUM (Accumulation)” on page App.1-44

AGA_R Calculates the accumulated value and average value of the gas flow
rates produced by AGA_3 or AGA_7. Also performs the closing proc-
ess to create the daily and hourly closing data of gas flow rate as report
data.
n Functions provided by Report data creation function block

Report data creation function block provides the following functions:
• Calculation execution control
• Reading parameters
• Closing action at the change of a parameter
• Accumulated value calculation
• Average value calculation
• Gas production time calculation
• Closing processing
• Data retaining processing
SEE
ALSO For more information about details of the AGA_R function block functions, refer to:
Appendix 1.2.3, “AGA_R (Report data creation)” on page App.1-35
n Report data to be created

The report data creation function creates the following report data based on the closing tim-
ing:
• Daily closing data
• Hourly closing data
To create daily closing and hourly closing report data, SCS is holding daily and hourly current
data. Current data is the data after the previous closing but before the next closing process-
ing. The current data is updated at every scan period of application logic. SCS saves the cur-
rent data as closing data at the closing timing and current data is initialized. However, only
ACCUM_ VOLUME of the current data is initialized at the monthly closing. Report data crea-
tion function also outputs the monthly current data. SCS initializes the monthly current data at
monthly closing.
l Closing data (daily closing data and hourly closing data)

Closing data includes daily closing data and hourly closing data. Data contained in the daily
closing and hourly closing data is shown in the following table:

Table B2.2.2-4 Current data (monthly data before closing)


B2.2.3 Function blocks that use data retaining function

The data retaining function is a function that retains the values of retainable data and restores
the retained data when the SCS is restarted. Using a function block with the data retaining
function enables the application logic to run using the values before the restart of SCS. The
data retaining function is an interference-free function that can be used only in SCSU1.
n Retainable data and size

The data that can be retained are some of the internal parameters of the function blocks hav-
ing data retaining function.
• The maximum size of the retainable data per SCS is 6 KB.
• SENG checks the size of retainable data used on the SCS during build. In addition, the
amount of retainable data used appears on the SCS Information dialog box.
The following table shows the function blocks that have retainable data and the size of the
retainable data they use.
Table B2.2.3-1 Function blocks that have retainable data and the size of the retainable data used
Function block name Size of retainable data used by one function block
instance (Byte)
AGA_R 1900
ACCUM 8
ECWR_B 4
ECWR_I 4
ECWR_R 4
n Retaining and restoring retainable data in SCS

Retainable data are stored in battery-backed up memory at every scan period of the applica-
tion logic. Retainable data is restored at the first scan after SCS starts up. When off-line
download other than master database offline download is performed from SENG, the retaina-
ble data is not restored and initialized.
When the retainable data is initialized, the following system alarm is output.
"No. 4151 SCS0101 Retain Data Initialized"
TIP SCS also checks the build time of the SCS database when restoring the retainable data. When a build is per-
formed on SENG, the build time of the database is updated even if the application logic is not changed. When
performing off-line download of database of which build time is changed, the SCS considers it as database
mismatch and does not restore the retainable data.

Message Number 4151 in 2.1, “System Alarms (Message Numbers 4101 through 4199)” in Messages
(IM 32Q02B10-31E)
n External communication function block with data retaining function

External communication function blocks with data retaining function consist of ECWR_B,
ECWR_I, and ECWR_R.
• Using external communication function blocks with data retaining function enables setting
and referencing of data in the SCS from an external device by means of tag name specifi-
cation or Modbus slave communication.

• The external communication function blocks with data retaining function handles a setting
value that comes from outside the SCS as retainable data. The setting value that comes
from outside the SCS can be restored at the restart of the SCS.
• The external communication function blocks with data retaining function are interference-
free function blocks that can be used exclusively on SCSU1. Do not use them for input to
a safety loop.

ing function, refer to:
Appendix 1.2.6, “ECWR_R (External communication with REAL-type data retaining function)” on page
App.1-43
n Precautions when using the data retaining function

Precautions for using the data retaining function are as follows:
• Do not use an instance of function block that uses the data retaining function in two or
more places. Moreover, an instance must be executed once every period. The number of
executions must not be affected by loops, conditional branches, jumps, etc.
• Change the application logic online. When online change or master database offline
download is performed, the retain data of the SCS is retained.
• When you offline download an SCS database after modifying the application logic or per-
forming a build on the SENG, the data retained in the SCS are initialized. If the currently
retained data is important, save it into FAST/TOOLS before performing offline download.
• The system alarm No.4151 is also output when the SCS starts up for the first time after
the battery backed-up memory is lost.
TIP By using the Database Validity Check Tool of SENG before offline download, it is possible to check the build
time and CRC of the database.

<B3.6 Control bus interface card> B3-11
B3.6 Control bus interface card

In ProSafe-RS, install the control bus interface card in an SENG to connect to the safety con-
trol station (SCS). The control bus interface card is a communication card installed in PC/AT
compatible computers.
• To connect an SENG to Vnet/IP-Upstream, use a Vnet/IP interface card (Model: VI702/
VI701). VI701 supports PCI bus and VI702 supports PCI Express respectively. As the
function is the same between VI701 and VI702, the following is described for VI702.
There are two ports on VI702 to support dual-redundant Vnet/IP-Upstream. Install the
VI702 on the computer where the SENG software is installed, and connect the Vnet/IP-
Upstream cables to the VI702. This enables the engineering and maintenance of SCS
from an SENG through Vnet/IP-Upstream.
• Use VI702/VI701 with the firmware version (F) 19 or higher as the control bus interface
card for connection to Vnet/IP-Upstream.
When referring to the IM using the reference links below, replace "Vnet/IP" with "Vnet/IP-Up-
stream."

C. Engineering and maintenance

On an SENG PC with a license for FAST/TOOLS Integration Engineering Package, execute
the following engineering:
• Set up domain properties by using Domain Properties Setting Tool
• Perform engineering for the Narrowband mode in a system that operates in the Narrow-
band mode
• Create application logic by using Multi-Language Editor and download to SCS
• Define tag names using Tag Name Builder.
• Export tag name data to FAST/TOOLS
Execute a test when engineering ends.
Use the SCS Maintenance Support Tool also for the maintenance of FAST/TOOL Integration
configuration. The SCS Maintenance Support Tool can be used both in Vnet/IP-Upstream net-
work and Vnet/IP network in the same way. In addition, information of SCSU1 can be handled
in the same way as SCSP1. However, there is some limitation on the behaviors of the SCS
Maintenance Support Tool in the Narrowband mode.

<C1. Workflow for engineering of a FAST/TOOLS Integration system> C1-1
C1. Workflow for engineering of a FAST/

TOOLS Integration system
For a FAST/TOOL integrated system (environment), the workflow for ProSafe-RS engineering
is as follows:
1. Select the mode of the Vnet/IP-Upstream network suitable for the environment of your
system with the Domain Properties Setting Tool.
2. For a Narrowband mode system, define narrowband groups with the Message Cache
Tool.
3. Perform the basic engineering for SCSs.
4. When using function blocks for gas flow rate calculation in SCSU1, design data necessa-
ry for the gas flow rate calculation.
5. Create application logic by using the Multi-Language Editor. In that case, create external
communication function blocks or external communication function blocks with data re-
taining function for value setting from external equipment such as FAST/TOOLS or Mod-
bus master station, etc.
6. Use the Tag Name Builder to enter information on tag names etc. for the data to be ac-
cessed by FAST/TOOLS. When using function blocks for gas flow rate calculation, define
to associate them with external communication function blocks or external communication
function blocks with data retaining function.
7. Test the engineering result.
8. Export the data of the Tag Name Builder for FAST/TOOLS.

<C1.1 SCS Engineering works for FAST/TOOLS Integration> C1-2
C1.1 SCS Engineering works for FAST/TOOLS

Integration
On a system with FAST/TOOLS integrated, the SCS can also be used to monitor the safety of
the plant and control the plant based on individual requirements which require safety control,
therefore, follow the standard procedures for SCS basic engineering. However, additional en-
gineering is required when FAST/TOOLS is used to display an alarm or allow PRM to control
devices.
n System common switches

The status of SCS system common switch can be accessed from FAST/TOOLS by specifying
the element number (%SWXXXX) in FAST/TOOLS.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the accessible system common switches, refer to:
“● Common switches (Common switches for system)” in “■ Software inputs/outputs” in D1., “Integration
with CENTUM” in Safety Control Station Reference (IM 32Q03B10-31E)
n Process alarms
Process alarms should be managed by using the alarm management feature of FAST/
TOOLS.
n System alarms
System alarms should be confirmed on SENG using the SCS Maintenance Support Tool's Di-
agnostic Information window. The following alarms are effective for maintenance of devices:
• No. 4125 (I/O module channel error occurred)
• No. 4126 (Recovery from I/O module channel error)
SEE
ALSO For more information about alarm management on FAST/TOOLS, refer to:
The user's manual of FAST/TOOLS
n Interface with PRM

If you grant a license for the SOE OPC interface package to an SENG PC, PRM can obtain
all the SENG diagnostic information messages through the OPC server for SENG. Since
CENTUM HIS is not connected, those system alarms that would be generated on HIS in a
CENTUM system cannot be obtained (for example, system alarms regarding Vnet/IP-Up-
stream network are not obtainable).

<C1.2 Notes on engineering works> C1-3
C1.2 Notes on engineering works

When performing engineering works for FAST/TOOLS Integration configuration, the following
items must be noted: configuration for Vnet/IP-Upstream network in Standard mode is the
same as that for Vnet/IP network. Also, follow the notes on SCSP1 for SCSU1, because the
basic engineering works and notes for SCSU1 are shared with SCSP1.
n SCS Constant Builder

On SENG installed with FAST/TOOLS Integration Engineering Package (CHS5700), the fol-
lowing SCS process alarm settings in Communication tab can be ignored:
• Interval of Repeated Warning Alarms
• Alarm Notify Action When AOF Released
In Vnet/IP-Upstream, specify Synchronization with Vnet/IP time for Synchronous Mode in the
Communication tab.
If you use ESB optical bus repeater in SCSU1, as in SCSP1, set Yes for Optical ESB Bus
Repeater in the SCS tab and specify a distance for Maximum Extension Distance.
SEE
ALSO For more information about SCS Constant Builder, refer to:
3.1.3, “SCS Constants Builder” in Engineering Reference (IM 32Q04B10-31E)
n I/O parameter builder

When you use ESB optical bus repeater for SCSU1, configure the setting items for the node
in the same way as for SCSP1 in the I/O parameter builder.
SEE
ALSO For more information about setting method for I/O Parameter Builder node, refer to:
A4.3, “Common input/output setting items” in Safety Control Station Reference (IM 32Q03B10-31E)
n Considerations when using function blocks for FAST/TOOLS

Integration
On SENG installed with FAST/TOOLS Integration Engineering Package (CHS5700), the fol-
lowing SCS function blocks cannot be used. If used, errors will occur when you build the SCS
project.
• Override: OVR_B, OVR_I,OVR_R, OVR_IB, OVR_IR, GOV_B, GOV_IB
• Password: PASSWD
• Manual Operation: MOB_21, MOB_11, MOB_RS, MOA
In addition, the behaviors of SYS_NETST and SYS_SETTIME function blocks in Vnet/IP-Up-
stream network are the same as those of SYS_NETST and SYS_SETTIME in Vnet/IP net-
work.
SEE
ALSO For more information about actions of SYS_NETST function block in Vnet/IP, refer to:
C11.5, “SYS_NETST (control bus status indicator)” in Safety Control Station Reference (IM
32Q03B10-31E)
For more information about actions of SYS_SETTIME function block in Vnet/IP, refer to:
C11.3, “SYS_SETTIME (SCS time setting)” in Safety Control Station Reference (IM 32Q03B10-31E)

<C1.2 Notes on engineering works> C1-4
n Using Modbus slave communication module in FAST/TOOLS

Integration
The notes when using a communication module for Modbus slave communication in FAST/
TOOLS Integration are the same as for SCSP1. If the I/O nodes are extended at a distance of
more than 5 km by using an ESB optical bus repeater module, you cannot use a serial com-
munication module or Ethernet communication module for Modbus slave communication.
SEE
ALSO For more information about precautions for using Modbus slave communication module in SCSP1, refer to:

SCSs connected in a narrowband system must belong to a narrowband group. It is not possi-
ble to display the status or collect SOE events and diagnostic information massages from an
SCS that does not belong to a narrowband group.
In a narrowband group definition, the following items should be specified to restrict communi-
cation for each narrowband group in consideration of network load:
• SCS name included in the narrowband group
• Number of SCSs that can communicate per acquisition cycle of the message caching
service
• Number of SCSs that can communicate per display update cycle of the SCS Status Over-
view window.

<C3.1 Narrowband mode settings and precautions for narrowband group definition> C3-2
C3.1 Narrowband mode settings and

precautions for narrowband group
definition
The Narrowband mode can be configured by switching the network mode to the Narrowband
mode in the Domain Properties Setting Tool.
After the mode is switched to the Narrowband mode, the followings can be configured accord-
ing to the communication bandwidth of each narrowband group.
• Number of SCSs from which data are collected per acquisition cycle
• Number of SCSs that can communicate per display update cycle of the SCS Status Over-
view Window.
• Define narrowband groups and add, change, or delete SCSs
• Settings of automatic data acquisition from SCSs
• Pause and start of the data acquisition
Automatic data acquisition and background data acquisition are collectively referred to as
"data acquisition".
When there is not enough bandwidth, pause the data acquisition for some SCSs, and if suffi-
cient bandwidth becomes available, then you can perform offline download to a target SCS.
n Notes on definitions of a Narrowband group

Observe the following conditions when defining SENG and SCS in a Narrowband group in
Narrowband mode:
• SCSs that are connected to two or more narrowband lines can be included in one narrow-
band group. However, if the bandwidth differs in each narrowband line, configure the nar-
rowband group definition considering the slowest communication speed.
• Do not group SCSs that are routed through the same narrowband line into two or more
narrowband groups.
• When two Vnet/IP-Upstream domains are connected to one narrowband line, include the
SCSs of the two domains in one narrowband group.
• Do not define one Narrowband group in more than one SENG.

C3.8 Collecting data from SCSs in a

narrowband system in the same way as in
the Standard and Wide-area modes
When there is no narrowband line in the communication path between SENG and certain
SCSs connected on a Vnet/IP-Upstream network in the Narrowband mode, you can configure
the Narrowband Group Definition window so that SOE events and diagnostic information
messages are collected from the SCSs in the same way as in the Standard and Wide-area
modes.
To collect data from SCSs in the same way as in the Standard and Wide-area modes when
there is no narrowband line in the communication path to the SCSs, perform the following pro-
cedure.
1. Create narrowband group in the Narrowband group list pane of the Narrowband Group
Definition window.
2. Click the created narrowband group and, in the SCS list pane, add all SCSs whose com-
munication path is not a narrowband line to the narrowband group.
3. Select the Automatic data acquisition check box so that all SCSs are selected.
4. In the Number of SCS setting pane, enter the number of all SCSs that were added to the
narrowband group in step 2 in both the Number of SCSs for data acquisition box and the
Number of SCSs for display update box.

<C4. Defining tag names> C4-1
C4. Defining tag names

To allow FAST/TOOLS to access SCS application logic variables and function blocks, you
need to define tag names using the Tag Name Builder.

<C4.1 Overview of tag name definition> C4-2
C4.1 Overview of tag name definition

Use Tag Name Builder to define tag names for the variables and function blocks in the appli-
cation logic that need to be accessed from FAST/TOOLS. With a tag name defined, the func-
tion block or variable is associated with its corresponding mapping block or element, and be-
comes accessible from FAST/TOOLS by designating in the form "Tag name.Data item." The
procedure for defining tag names is as follows:
1. Define the application logic variables and function block instances in Dictionary View of
SCS Manager.
2. Define tag names and parameters in Tag Name Builder.
To start the Tag Name Builder, do the following: From the SCS Manager, click [Tools] >
[Engineering] to start the Engineering Launcher, and select [Tag Name Builder] from the
menu.
3. Execute a build on SCS Manager to generate SCS databases and download them to
SCS.
4. In order to pass the contents defined on Tag Name Builder to FAST/TOOLS, export the
contents defined on Tag Name Builder into a CSV file and import this CSV file into FAST/
TOOLS.
IMPORTANT
Changes made to the definitions for a tag name that is already imported will not be reflected
in FAST/TOOLS by the above mentioned procedure. To change the definitions for already im-
ported tag names, you need to work on both Tag Name Builder and FAST/TOOLS.
SEE

l Variable Name
To assign a tag name to a function block instance, enter the [instance name] as the variable
name. From among the variables created in SCS Manager, specify the variable name you
want to assign a tag name. A tag name can be defined regardless of the scope of the varia-
ble.
In case of a local variable, enter a scope name after "@."
In case of an internal variable of a user-defined function block, assign an instance name using
Dictionary View of SCS Manager. The variable name is specified in the format of "[Instance
Name].[Internal Variable Name]." Up to two nests are permitted in each variable to which a
tag name is assigned.
Table C4.1-5 Examples of variable specification

Variable name (*1) Scope Description
VAR1 Global Global variable
VAR2@PROG1 PROG1 Local variable of PROG1 function
FB01.VAR3 Global Internal variable VAR3 of user-defined function block instance
FB01
FB01.VAR3@PROG1 PROG1 Internal variable VAR3 of user-defined function block instance
FB01 defined locally in PROG1 function
FB01.FB2.VAR3 Global Internal variable VAR3 of user-defined function block instance
FB2, which is used in user-defined function block instance FB01
(maximum limit of function block nesting)
*1: The variable name can contain up to 69 single-byte characters. Tag Name Builder also checks the following items:
• The variable name consists only of alphanumeric characters and "@," "." or "_". If any other character is used, an error will
occur.
• The variable name begins with an alphabetic character or "_"; otherwise, an error will occur.
• Three or more nests in a variable will result in an error. The variables "FB01.VAR3" and "FB01.VAR3@PROG1" have one
nest, while "FB01.FB2.VAR3" has two nests.
l Tag Name
A name used to access each application logic variable from FAST/TOOLS. A tag name can
contain up to 16 single-byte alphanumeric characters including "_" and "-". Note that tag
names cannot begin with "_" or "-". All characters are converted to uppercase as they are en-
tered. Tag names must be unique within the same station (SCS).
l Tag Comment
A comment assigned to a tag name. It can be defined within 24 single-byte characters.
l Annunciator Message
A message notifying the process error. You can define any string within 80 single-byte charac-
ters.
Default: None

l Unit
A symbol indicating the engineering unit of data such as flow rate and pressure. A unit can be
defined within 6 single-byte characters .
Default: %
l Low Limit
A low limit (SL) is the lowest point of engineering data scale. It can be defined using up to
seven digits including a sign and decimal point. This setting is referenced by FAST/TOOLS
only for display purposes and not used in calculation or alarm processing of the SCS. Enter
the same value as the low limit set on Multi-Language Editor, although a different value can
be set.
Default: 0.0
l High Limit
A high limit (SH) is the highest point of engineering data scale. It can be defined using up to
seven digits including a sign and decimal point. This setting is referenced by FAST/TOOLS
only for display purposes and not used in calculation or alarm processing of the SCS. Enter
the same value as the "High limit" set on Multi-Language Editor, although a different value can
be set.
Default: 100.0
TIP When a builder file (*.edf), a file saved with another name (*.sva), or a CSV file (*.csv) is imported on Tag
Name Builder, the setting items that cannot be used on FAST/TOOLS are not imported and the default values
will be used.
l AGA FB Instance Name

Set an instance of AGA FB (AGA_3, AGA_7, AGA_R) defined with the SCS Manager. Allo-
cate a variable of the row to a configured AGA FB instance parameter. Use an AGA FB pa-
rameter name item to name the parameter that is allocated.
Default: Blank
Can contain up to 69 single-byte characters. In addition, Tag Name Builder also checks the
following items:
• The instance name consists only of alphanumeric characters and "@", "." or "_". Other-
wise, an error will occur.
• The instance name begins with an alphabetic character or "_"; otherwise, an error will oc-
cur.
• Two nests or more will result in an error.
In addition, an error occurs when saving the AGA parameter if the AGA Parameter Name is
set without AGA FB Instance Name specified.
l AGA Parameter Name

Specify the parameter name of AGA FB instance to which a variable will be allocated.
Default: Blank
The type of the parameter name to be allocated depends on the type of AGA FB that is set
with AGA FB Instance Name and the type of a variable to be allocated.
An error occurs when saving the AGA parameter if AGA FB Instance Name is specified but
the parameter name that corresponds to the type of AGA FB or type of a variable to be alloca-
ted is not selected.

l Tag name interface for FAST/TOOLS

If you define a tag name using Tag Name Builder for a function block or variable of SCS that
is accessible from FAST/TOOLS, a mapping block or mapping element is created for it.
FAST/TOOLS can read and write data through the tag name interface. However, some map-
ping blocks and mapping elements are read-only.
An external communication function block is used to specify a parameter on the FAST/TOOLS
graphic window in the AGA gas flow rate calculation. An external communication function
block with the Data retaining function can be used alternatively. Use the Tag Name Builder to
build the relationship of an external communication function block used to enter a value with
AGA function block parameters.
l List of mapping blocks/elements

FAST/TOOLS can automatically import the tag names defined on Tag Name Builder. Howev-
er, some mapping blocks/elements are not supported by FAST/TOOLS, and the tag names for
unsupported mapping blocks/elements cannot be imported. Even if the tag names are not im-
ported, their data can be accessed by FAST/TOOLS using the tag definition engineering fea-
ture of FAST/TOOLS.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the mapping blocks/elements that can be accessed by FAST/TOOLS, refer to:
“n Mapping blocks/elements that can be accessed by FAST/TOOLS” on page App.3-1

<C4.2 Definition of the tag name at the gas flow rate calculation> C4-11
C4.2 Definition of the tag name at the gas flow

rate calculation
For parameters used for the gas flow rate calculation to be entered from a FAST/TOOLS op-
erator interface, enter a tag name in a parameter that is expected to be handled by ProSafe-
RS Tag Name Builder. To use an FB for the gas flow rate calculation, use the Tag Name
Builder to associate the FB for the gas flow rate calculation with an external communication
FB or an external communication function block with data retaining function.
This section defines the tag name at the gas flow rate calculation.
n Relation of variables that set AGA parameter and a value

In the application logic of SCS, bind a variable to receive a value from an outside device such
as FAST/TOOLS with a parameter of AGA FB instance to set a value through a variable . In
the Tag Name Builder, give a name to the variable and then specify the parameter name the
AGA FB instance to be set a value from the variable.
The type of AGA parameter name that can set the value through the variable is different ac-
cording to variable type used to set the type and the value of AGA FB set by the AGA FB
instance name.
The following table shows the type of AGA parameter name that can set a value through vari-
able:

If AGA FB instance name is set without selecting a parameter name that is appropriate to the
combination of variable types used for AGA FB type and the value setting, an error occurs.

n Sample tag name definition when calculating gas flow rate

When you calculate a gas flow rate, associate Gas flow rate calculation FB with External com-
munication FB, or Gas flow rate calculation FB with External communication FB with data re-
taining function. Also, use Tag Name Builder to specify AGA FB Instance Name, AGA Param-
eter Name, External communication FB Instance Name, and tag names.

Figure C4.2-1 Example of the application logic of AGA_3

TIP Debug the application using the gas flow rate calculation function with a logic simulator or a SCS real ma-
chine.
The value of the parameter cannot be set to ECW_*/ECWR_* by the tag name interface, if there is no debug-
ging environment under which FAST/TOOLS is combined with a SCS real machine. In this case, set a value
in the following way.
• Set an appropriate value to the initial value of ECWR_*, and perform off-line download
• Change variable value at the output destination of ECW_*/ECWR_* by debugging function or the forcing
function of Multi-Language Editor.
Place the variable between ECW_*/ECWR_* and AGA_* so that forcing can change the output destination of
ECW_*/ECWR_*. When ECW_*/ECWR_* is connected to EXEC or SET directly, a value cannot be changed
during debugging.

C5. Maintenance of FAST/TOOLS

integrated system (environment)
In the FAST/TOOLS integrated system(environment) the SCS maintenance support tool is al-
so used for the maintenance of an SCS including confirmation of status displays and diagnos-
tic information messages. SCS maintenance support tool handles the Vnet/IP network and
the Vnet/IP-Upstream network the same way. However, the behavior of the SCS maintenance
support tool is restricted due to the narrow communication bandwidth in Narrowband mode of
the Vnet/IP-Upstream network.

<C5.1 Maintenance in Vnet/IP-Upstream network> C5-2
C5.1 Maintenance in Vnet/IP-Upstream network

Even when you connect SCSU1 or SCSP1 to Vnet/IP-Upstream network, you maintain it with
the SCS Maintenance Support Tool. In SCS Maintenance Support Tool, there are places
where Vnet/IP-Upstream network is displayed as Vnet/IP.

5. Connect the existing station that you have disconnected at step 2 to the newly added
Layer 2 switch for BUS1 with a cable.
7. Disconnect the cable between any one of the existing stations and a Layer 2 switch for
BUS2.
8. Connect the additional Layer 2 switch for BUS2 and the existing Layer 2 switch for BUS2
with a cable.
9. Turn on the power of the Layer 2 switch that you have added.
10. Connect the existing station that you have disconnected at step 7 to the newly added
Layer 2 switch for BUS2 with a cable.
12. Carry out the procedure for "Case 1" to add a station.
n Procedures and precautions for adding a Vnet/IP-Upstream domain

Follow these steps when you want to add a domain to a Vnet/IP-Upstream network.
WARNING
Make sure that there are no duplicate station addresses (domain number + station number) in
the system.
l Case 1: When using existing Layer 3 switches (ports are available on

Firstly, carry out steps 1 to 5 as shown below to configure Layer 3 switches for BUS1 and
BUS2. Next, add stations by following the procedures in "■ Procedures and precautions for
adding a Vnet/IP station."
2. Make the necessary settings on the existing Layer 3 switch for BUS1. If the port on the
Layer 3 switch is disabled, enable the port.
4. Make the necessary settings on the existing Layer 3 switch for BUS2. If the port on the
Layer 3 switch is disabled, enable the port.
6. Add stations for the new domain by following the procedures in "■ Procedures and pre-
cautions for adding a Vnet/IP station."
l Case 2: When you need to add Layer 3 switches (no ports are available on
Firstly, carry out steps 1 to 7 as shown below to add Layer 3 switches for BUS1 and BUS2.
Next, add stations by following the procedures in "■ Procedures and precautions for adding a

n Description
• Monitor an input value (IN) at every scan period and stores the value in the buffer when
the input value changed from the previous buffered value. The input value is stored in the
buffer at an initial scan after the SCS starts.
• IDNO indicates the data identification number. The identification number allowed ranges
from 1 to 60000. Data will not be stored in the buffer if a number less than 0 or larger than
60001 is specified.
• Data status (STS) is TRUE only during the scan period when data is stored in the buffer,
and otherwise it is FALSE. A sample output is shown in the following figure:

n Description
AGA_3 uses process input data (SP, DP, T), parameter (PARA), and gas composition data
(COMP) to calculate the gas flow rate. AGA_3 consists of the following functions to calculate
the gas flow rate defined in AGA Reports No.3 and No.8:
• Parameter load processing
• Closing operation on change of parameter
• Process input processing
• Gas composition data load processing
• Detection of halt to gas production
• Unit designation
• Compressibility calculation (AGA Report No.8)
• Gas flow rate calculation (AGA Report No.3, SP, DP, and T as standard)
• Heating value calculation (GPA2172)
• Energy calculation
l Calculation execution control

Calculation starts when the calculation execution flag (EXEC) changes from FALSE to TRUE.
Follow these steps to start the calculation:
1. Specify the values of AGA3 input parameters (PARA) and gas composition (COMP) pa-
rameters.
2. Set the read flag (SET) to TRUE.
Parameters that are set are loaded into the function block.
3. Set the calculation execution flag (EXEC) to TRUE.
The calculation starts.

TIP • After the calculation is started, the calculation proceeds even if the calculation execution flag (EXEC) is
turned off to FALSE.
• Before EXEC is set to TRUE, the parameters are loaded but the calculation is not performed.
l Parameter load processing

When the read flag (SET) is set to TRUE, AGA3 input parameters (PARA) and Gas composi-
tion (COMP) are loaded. The loaded parameters are used for calculation and also output to
PARO and CMPO. PARO and CMPO can be used to refer parameters by using the data buf-
fering function. The initial value of the parameters before the first loading is 0 or FALSE.
PARA and COMP are structure-type input arguments.
Follow these steps when you change the values of multiple parameters in PARA and CMPO
at a time.
1. Turn off the read flag (SET) to FALSE.
2. Change the values of AGA7 input parameters (PARA) and Gas composition (COMP).
TIP Some of the parameters contained in PARA or COMP are linked with each other. If two or more parameters
are changed while SET is TRUE, calculation may be performed while the relation between parameters is con-
flicting.
l Closing operation on change of parameter

AGA_3 detects online or manual modification of calculation parameters. If it detects a change,
it sets the Configuration changed flag (CONF_Q) in the data after calculation (CDAT) to
TRUE. AGA_R will perform the closing processing due to parameter change detection when
CONF_Q in its input parameters becomes TRUE.
Note that, when parameters are read under the following conditions, parameter changes will
not be detected:
• Parameters are loaded before EXEC is set to TRUE.
• The parameters are loaded for the first time immediately after the SCS is restarted or off-
line downloaded.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the parameters for which changes are detected, refer to:
“n AGA_3_PARAM structure” on page App.2-1
l Process input processing (SP, DP, T)

The process input processing determines an input value used for calculation according to the
setting of input data, status, and parameters.
• Input processing of static pressure (SP) and differential pressure (DP)
The following figure shows the input processing of static pressure (SP) and differential
pressure (DP):

(SP(DP)_MNT_VALUE) = Last good value of SP (DP) = SP (DP) at this scan
END
Figure Appendix 1.2.1-2 Process input processing (SP, DP)
• AGA_3 determines the static pressure (SP) by using Static Pressure Maintenance
mode (SP_MNT) of the parameters (PARA) and the SP status (SP_S). It also deter-
mines the differential pressure (DP) by using Differential Pressure Maintenance
mode (DP_MNT) of the parameters (PARA) and the DP status (DP_S).
• In case of abnormal input (the status is BAD), AGA_3 calculates using the latest nor-
mal value (the input value when the status is normal the last time). Since the latest
normal value is not available immediately after SCS startup, it is treated as gas pro-
duction suspended.
• In the maintenance mode, it is possible to continue the gas flow rate calculation while
fixing the input value during maintenance and calibration of a field device.
• Input processing of flow temperature (T)
The following figure shows the input processing of the flow temperature (T):

AGA_3 determines the flow temperature (T) by using Default Temperature Selection (DE-

SEE
ALSO For more information about the behavior while gas production is suspended, refer to:
“l Detection of halt to gas production” on page App.1-26
l Gas composition data load processing

To load the gas composition data contained in Gas composition (COMP), follow the following
methods:
• When gas composition data is manually set from an external device of the SCS:
Set Composition Input Selection (COMP_INPUT_SELECT) of the parameters (PARA) to
1: Manual. The gas composition data in COMP will be loaded when SET is set to TRUE
in the same way as with PARA. In this case, always set the COMP data status (CP_S) to
TRUE.
• When gas composition data is dynamically set via subsystem communication:
2: Live. The gas composition data in COMP will be loaded at every scan interval regard-
less of the SET value. When CP_S is set to FALSE (BAD), the data of COMP at the pre-
vious scan will be used.
l Detection of halt to gas production

When Differential Pressure (DP) < Differential Pressure Cutoff (DP_CUTOFF of PARA),
AGA_3 regards that no gas is flowing. In this case, AGA_3 sets the gas production suspen-
ded flag (NOFL) to TRUE.
When NOFL in the input parameters is TRUE, AGA_R adds this time of the scan to gas pro-
duction downtime, but does not add the flow rate to the accumulation or average value.

l Unit designation
Unit system for process input values and parameter settings is specified using Input Unit Se-
lection (UNIT_SELECT) in the parameters (PARA). The unit system designated in UNIT_SE-
LECT and the unit system for process input values and parameter setting should be consis-
tent.
l Compressibility calculation (AGA Report No.8)

This function block calculates the compressibility factor of each meter based on AGA Report
No. 8 standards.
The type of calculation method for compressibility factor are shown in the following table:
Table Appendix 1.2.1-2 Type of calculation methods for compressibility factor

Type of calculation Compressibility factor calculation
DCM (Detail Characterization Method) Calculate the compressibility factor based on the
composition information given by the COMP argu-
ment.
GCM1 (Gross Characterization Method 1) Calculate the compressibility factor based on CAR-
BON_DIOXIDE given by the COMP argument.
GCM2 (Gross Characterization Method 2) Calculate the compressibility factor based on NITRO-
GEN and CARBON_DIOXIDE given by the COMP
argument.
AGA8 calculation method selection (AGA8_METHOD_SELECT) of the parameter (PARA) is

used to specify the type of calculation.
l Gas flow rate calculation (AGA Report No.3, SP, DP, and T as standard)
Based on AGA Report No. 3 specifications, AGA_3 calculates the gas flow rate of the orifice
plate flow meter.
l Heating value calculation (GPA2172)

This function block calculates the heating value of gas based on GPA2172 specifications. This
function block calculates only the heating value of dry gas.
TIP The calculation conditions are as follows:
• Determine Calculated Ideal Heating Value (CALCULATED_ID_HV) by using the table under Standard
Condition (60 deg F, 14.696 psia) stipulated in GPA2172. In this calculation, the pressure under Base Con-
dition (BASE_PRESS) is considered, but the temperature is fixed to 60 deg F.
• Calculated Ideal Heating Value (CALCULATED_HV) will be determined based on the influence of actual
gas.
l Energy calculation
This function block calculates gas energy by using the following formula:
Energy = flow rate at base condition * real heating value
For the heating value, this function block uses the calculation result of GPA2172. You can use
the gross method heating value (GROSS_HV) in the parameter (PARA) by specifying "0:
Manual" for Energy calculation (ENERGY_CAL_SELECT) in PARA.
l Behavior at abnormal calculation

Calculation does not work correctly if the calculation execution flag (EXEC) is set to TRUE
when parameters are not configured correctly.

Abnormal calculation such as division by zero due to mis-configuration of a parameter will be
checked beforehand and detected as an error. In this case, an error code is set to the Error
cause (ERCD) and TRUE is set to the gas production suspended flag (NOFL). Do not use the
output parameters when an error code is set in ERCD.
If an error occurs in AGA_3, NOFL is set to TRUE and the connected AGA_R ignores the da-
ta of the scan period in which the error occurred.
SEE
ALSO For more information about error codes set in ERCD, refer to:
Appendix 1.2.8, “Error code” on page App.1-47

n Description
AGA_7 uses process input data (SP, T, PULS), parameters (PARA), and gas composition da-
ta (COMP) to calculate the gas flow rate. AGA_7 consists of the following functions to calcu-
late the gas flow rate defined in AGA Reports No.7, No.8 and No.10:
• Process input processing
• Gas composition data load processing
• Detection of halt to gas production
• Unit designation
• Compressibility calculation (AGA Report No.8)
• Gas flow rate calculation (AGA Report No.7, SP, DP, and PULS as standard)
• Calculation of speed of sound (AGA Report No.10)
• Heating value calculation (GPA2172)
• Energy calculation

Follow these steps to start the calculation:
1. Specify the values of AGA7 input parameters (PARA) and gas composition (COMP) pa-
rameters.
Parameters that are set are loaded into the function block.
3. Set the calculation execution flag (EXEC) to TRUE.
The calculation starts.

• Before EXEC is set to TRUE, the parameters are loaded but the calculation is not performed.

When the read flag (SET) is set to TRUE, AGA7 input parameters (PARA) and Gas composi-
tion (COMP) are loaded. The loaded parameters are used for calculation and also output to
PARO and CMPO. PARO and CMPO can be used to refer parameters by using the data buf-
fering function. The initial value of the parameters before the first loading is 0 or FALSE.
PARA and COMP are structure-type input arguments.
Use the following procedure when you change the values of multiple parameters in PARA and
CMPO at a time.
2. Change the values of AGA7 input parameters (PARA) and Gas composition (COMP).
TIP Some of the parameters contained in PARA or COMP are linked with each other. If two or more parameters
are changed while SET is TRUE, calculation may be performed while the relation between parameters is con-
flicting.

AGA_7 detects online or manual modification of calculation parameters. If it detects a change,
it sets the Configuration changed flag (CONF_Q) in the data after calculation (CDAT) to
TRUE. AGA_R will perform the closing processing due to parameter change detection when
CONF_Q in its input parameters becomes TRUE.

• AGA_7 uses Pulse Maintenance mode (PULS_MNT) of the parameters (PARA) and the
PULS status (P_S) to determine the pulse count per scan period (PULS).
• If an abnormal input (with the status BAD) is detected, AGA_7 uses the latest normal val-
ue (input value when the latest status was normal) for calculation. Since the latest normal
value is not available immediately after the SCS activation, it is assumed as the gas pro-
duction suspended.
• If you use using the maintenance mode, you can fix the input value while doing the main-
tenance or calibration of the field devices in order to continue the gas flow rate calcula-
tion.

For more information about the behavior while gas production is suspended, refer to:
“l Detection of halt to gas production” on page App.1-32
l Gas composition data load processing

To load the gas composition data contained in Gas composition (COMP), follow the following
methods:
• When gas composition data is manually set from an external device of the SCS:
1: Manual. The gas composition data in COMP will be loaded when SET is set to TRUE
in the same way as with PARA. In this case, always set the COMP data status (CP_S) to
TRUE.
• When gas composition data is dynamically set via subsystem communication:
2: Live. The gas composition data in COMP will be loaded at every scan interval regard-
less of the SET value. When CP_S is set to FALSE (BAD), the data of COMP at the pre-
vious scan will be used.
l Detection of halt to gas production

When Pulse Count per Scan period (PULS) < Total Pulse Cutoff (PULSE_CUTOFF of PARA),
AGA_7 regards that no gas is flowing. In this case, AGA_7 sets the gas production suspen-
ded flag (NOFL) to TRUE and notifies it to AGA_R.

In turn, AGA_R adds this time of the scan to gas production downtime, but does not add the
flow rate to the accumulation or average value.
l Unit designation
Unit system for process input values and parameter settings is specified using Input Unit Se-
lection (UNIT_SELECT) in the parameters (PARA). The unit system designated in UNIT_SE-
LECT and the unit system for process input values and parameter setting should be consis-
tent.
l Compressibility calculation (AGA Report No.8)

This function block calculates the compressibility factor of each meter based on AGA Report
No. 8 standards.
The type of calculation method for compressibility factor are shown in the following table:

Type of calculation Compressibility factor calculation
DCM (Detail Characterization Method) Calculate the compressibility factor based on the
composition information given by the COMP argu-
ment.
GCM1 (Gross Characterization Method 1) Calculate the compressibility factor based on CAR-
BON_DIOXIDE given by the COMP argument.
GCM2 (Gross Characterization Method 2) Calculate the compressibility factor based on NITRO-
GEN and CARBON_DIOXIDE given by the COMP
argument.
AGA8 calculation method selection (AGA8_METHOD_SELECT) of the parameter (PARA) is

used to specify the type of calculation.
l Gas flow rate calculation (AGA Report No.7, SP, T, and PULS criteria)
Based on AGA Report No. 7 specifications, AGA_7 calculates the gas flow rate of the turbine
flow meter.
l Speed of sound calculation (AGA Report No.10)

Based on the gas composition, AGA _7 calculates the speed of sound within the gas, accord-
ing to Report No.10 specifications.
l Heating value calculation (GPA2172)

This function block calculates the heating value of gas based on GPA2172 specifications. This
function block calculates only the heating value of dry gas.
TIP The calculation conditions are as follows:
• Determine Calculated Ideal Heating Value (CALCULATED_ID_HV) by using the table under Standard
Condition (60 deg F, 14.696 psia) stipulated in GPA2172. In this calculation, the pressure under Base Con-
dition (BASE_PRESS) is considered, but the temperature is fixed to 60 deg F.
• Calculated Ideal Heating Value (CALCULATED_HV) will be determined based on the influence of actual
gas.
l Energy calculation
This function block calculates gas energy by using the following formula:
Energy = flow rate at base condition * real heating value

For the heating value, this function block uses the calculation result of GPA2172. You can use
the gross method heating value (GROSS_HV) in the parameter (PARA) by specifying "0:
Manual" for Energy calculation (ENERGY_CAL_SELECT) in PARA.

cause (ERCD) and TRUE is set to the gas production suspended flag (NOFL). Do not use the
output parameters when an error code is set in ERCD.
If an error occurs in AGA_7, NOFL is set to TRUE and the connected AGA_R ignores the da-
ta of the scan period in which the error occurred.

n Description
AGA_R creates and outputs report data based on the data after AGA calculation (CDAT) and
the report data creation parameters (PARA). Report data includes closing data (daily closing
data, hourly closing data) and the current data (hourly, daily, monthly). Average values and
accumulated values of the gas flow rate are saved as the closing data or current data.
AGA_R consists of the following functions:
• Calculation of accumulated values
• Calculation of average values
• Calculation of gas production time
• Closing processing
• Data retaining processing

• Before the calculation is started, AGA_R reads the preset parameters and stores and restores retainable
data, but it does not perform accumulation, averaging, and closing processing.

When the read flag (SET) is set to TRUE, AGA report input parameters (PARA) are loaded.
The loaded parameters are used for calculation and also output to PARO. PARO can be used
to refer parameters by using the data buffering function. The initial value of the parameters
before the first loading is 0 or FALSE.
PARA is a structure-type input argument.
Use the following procedure when you change the values of multiple parameters in PARA at a
time.
2. Change the values of AGA report input parameters (PARA).
TIP Some of the parameters contained in PARA are linked with each other. If two or more parameters are
changed while SET is TRUE, calculation may be performed while the relation between parameters is conflict-
ing.

AGA_3 and AGA_7 detect online or manual modification of calculation parameters. If they de-
tect a change, they set the Configuration changed flag (CONF_Q) in the data after AGA cal-
culation (CDAT) to TRUE. AGA_R also detects online or manual modification of calculation
parameters. AGA_R performs the closing processing due to parameter change detection by
AGA_3, AGA_7 and AGA_R.

l Calculation of accumulated values

AGA_R calculates the accumulated values of the data included in CDAT (data after AGA cal-
culation) and outputs them to CURH (current hourly data), TDAY (current daily data), and
CURM (current monthly data).
AGA_R does not calculate accumulated values while NOFL (gas production suspended flag)
is set to TRUE.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the timing of accumulated value initialization, refer to:
“l Closing processing” on page App.1-37
For more information about accumulated values that are output, refer to:
“n AGA_R_PARAM structure” on page App.2-8
l Calculation of average values

AGA_R calculates the average values included in CDAT (data after AGA calculation) and out-
puts it to CURH (current hourly data) and TDAY (current daily data). The way of the calcula-
tion of the average value is based on the specification by PARA. The average value calcula-
tion is based on the gas production time.
AGA_R does not calculate average values while NOFL (gas production suspended flag) is set
to TRUE.
The following two types of calculation are supported:
• Flow-dependant time-weighted linear
• Flow-weighted linear
SEE
ALSO For more information about the timing of average value initialization, refer to:
“l Closing processing” on page App.1-37
For more information about average values that are output, refer to:
“n AGA_R_PARAM structure” on page App.2-8
l Calculation of gas production time

AGA_R uses NOFL (gas production under suspension) to calculate gas production time. If
NOFL is FALSE, the scan period is added to the gas production time. If it is TRUE, the scan
period is added to the gas production downtime.
The gas production time included in CURH (current hourly data) and TDAY (current daily da-
ta) are initialized on execution of the hourly closing processing and the daily closing process-
ing, respectively.
l Closing processing
Closing process closes the accumulation value and average value on a monthly/daily/hourly
basis and produces report data.
On hourly closing, CURH (current hourly data) is reflected in PREH (hourly closing data). In
the next scan, the accumulated values and average values that are output to CURH will be
calculated from their initial values, except for ACCUM_VOLUME.

On daily closing, TDAY (current daily data) is reflected in YDAY (daily closing data). In the
next scan, the accumulated values and averaged values that are output to TDAY will be cal-
culated from their initial values, except for ACCUM_VOLUME.
On monthly closing, CURM (current monthly data) and ACCUM_VOLUME of CURH and
TDAY are initialized.
In most cases, it is performed when the current time (Universal Time Coordinated: UTC) that
SCS recognizes becomes the planned closing time (date and time) that your parameter has
specified. It is also performed when the planned closing time has expired at SCS startup and
the calculation execution flag (EXEC) becomes TRUE.
In addition, there is a special closing process that is forcibly performed when FORCE_CLOSE
parameter (PARA) is changed from FALSE to TRUE. Closing process is also conducted when
AGA_3, AGA_7 and AGA_R parameters are changed.
Note that, even when the special closing process has been performed, the timing of the next
closing process will not be changed; The regular closing process will be conducted at the
same time in point as when the special closing process would not have been performed.
The following table describes the types and causes of closing and their relationship with plan-
ned closing time:

PARA) is set.
CURM (current monthly Upon monthly closing or when the initialization flag (NIT_CMON_DATA_Q or IN-
data) IT_ALL_DATA_Q in PARA) is set.
l Closing counter
Executing the closing processing updates a closing counter. The closing counter is incremen-
ted by one when the closing processing is executed regardless of a closing trigger factor.
The closing counter is equipped with the following counters:
• Hourly closing execution counter (HYLY)
• Daily closing execution counter (DYLY)
• Monthly closing execution counter (MNLY)
The closing counter provides retainable data. The value is kept retained after the SCS is re-
started. When the closing counter reaches up to the maximum value, it starts counting over
again from 1. The closing counter showing 0 indicates that the closing processing has not yet
been executed even once.
l Data retaining processing

Data retaining function is used to retain the accumulation value, average value, gas produc-
tion time, and closing data for the last cycle that are used to create the current data. It re-
stores these data in the first scan after SCS is started.
The following output data will be calculated continuously by using the values before SCS is
restarted:
CURH, PREH, TDAY, YDAY, CURM, HRLY, DYLY, MNLY

cause (ERCD). Do not use the output parameters when an error code is set in ERCD.
If an error is detected while AGA_R is calculating, the calculation is continued as a state
where gas production is suspended, like the case where NOFL is set as TRUE.

LMT REAL Upper limit of accumulation value
When the absolute value of accumulated value is higher than
the upper limit value, the accumulated value is reset to 0, and
accumulation continues.
OUT OUT REAL Accumulated value
n Description
ACCUM is a function block that accumulate input values.
The following is the accumulation calculation formula:

Ts
SUMn = X × + SUMn-1
Tk
X: Input value
SUMn: Totalized value
SUMn-1: Previous totalized value
Ts: Scan period (seconds)
Tk: Time scale conversion coefficient
A time scale conversion constant is determined by the totalizer specification switch (SW). The
relationship of the totalizer specification switch with the time scale conversion constant is
shown in the following table: If another value or 0 is specified in SW, the input value (IN) is not
accumulated.
Table Appendix 1.2.7-2 Totalizer specification switch and time scale conversion constant
Totalizer specification switch (SW) Time scale conversion constant (Tk)
1: Accumulation in second 1
2: Accumulation in minute 60
3: Accumulation in hour 3600
4: Accumulation in day 86400
You should configure the Totalizer specification switch (SW) according to the unit of the input
value (IN). For example, if the unit of IN is m3/min, set the Totalizer specification switch (SW)
to "2: Accumulation in minute."
l Accumulation action
An accumulated value is retainable data.
A negative value is allowed to accumulate when the input value is negative. In this case, AC-
CUM accumulates without changing the sign of the input value. An accumulated value incre-
ments when the input value is positive and decrements when it is negative. However, accu-
mulation of a negative value is valid when the Low-Input Cut Switch (LCSW) is set to "Does
not cut low input" or a negative value is set as the Low input cut value.
When the absolute value of the accumulate value exceeds the upper limit, the value is reset
to 0 and the accumulation continues. Specify a value ranging from 1.0E-12 to 1.0E12 as the
upper limit value. If a value outside this range is specified, the upper limit value is set to
1.0E8.
The accumulation does not take place when the status of the input value is set to BAD.
l Resetting operation
RST (Reset an accumulated value) functions as a switch to reset the calculation result of the
accumulation value. ACCUM resets the accumulation value to 0 in the scan period when it
detects RST transitioning from FALSE to TRUE, and accumulates IN values.
n Remarks
• ACCUM is an interference-free function block. Do not use it to input data to safety loop.
• Make your application so that the calculation result does not cause an overflow.
• ACCUM can be used only in SCSU1 running R3.02.10 or later.

ACCUM cannot be used in the SCS simulator.

Data retaining function does not work under a logic simulation test environment.
