 FEATURES

l High Performance

• Applicable to a variety of processes, from sequence

control processes to analog control processes.

• Intercommunication with other autonomous

controllers or other equipment for inter-linked control

actions, in addition to stand-alone operation.

• Using Versatile Data Server Software (VDS) or

SCADA Software (FAST/TOOLS) together allows

a system with enriched operation and monitoring

functions to be built up.

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

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

(OLE for Process Control) client on a PC.

• Duolet application is Java language application and

enables users to implement the following functions

on FCN-500; displaying images on a Web browser,

saving data files, transferring files using the FTP

protocol, sending/receiving e-mails and public

network connection using the PPP protocol.

l High Reliability

• RAS features (CPU self-diagnostics, temperature

monitoring, I/O diagnostics, and more)

• Memory with error-correcting code (ECC)

• Low heat dissipation, eliminating the need for a

cooling fan

• The Ethernet control network, CPU, power supply

module, and E2 bus/SB bus (FCN local bus) can all

be duplexed for an FCN-500.

l    Engineering    Efficiency

• Five IEC 61131-3 compliant programming languages

are supported, enabling the user to selectively use

these languages according to their purposes of use

and applications.

• Control logic can be encapsulated into software

parts for reuse, allowing efficient and quality system

configuration.

• Application Portfolios packed with Yokogawa’s

application expertise, enable easy implementation of

advanced functions, including control-loop instrument

blocks and communication with PLCs.

l Easy Maintenance

• Online download function allows a control application

to be modified during system operation

• All modules are hot-swappable with an FCN-500.
