1. Introduction

Congratulations on your recent purchase of the Monitoring &
Control Server Unit.

The SVR-MMF(FIT) is a Monitoring & Control Server with a data
logging function that incorporates all the necessary functions in a
compact unit.
The unit performs monitoring and logging of the data collected from
I/O modules (CPU-CA10(FIT)) and other stacked devices. The
various settings for the unit can be edited using an easy-to-use
browser interface.
By connecting this computer to other members of the F&eIT series
of devices, you can configure a built-in controller in an optimal
manner.

Features

- Uses the F&eIT protocol to collect data from other F&eIT series
devices.

- Monitor display of collected data.

- Collected data can be stored and maintained on a CompactFlash
card.

- Monitors input data and can use e-mail to notify of abnormal
conditions.

- Supports the F&eIT protocol for compatibility with other F&eIT
series devices.

- Achieves an ultra-compact size (52.4mm×64.7mm×94mm) no
larger than a cigarette.

- A fan-less implementation through the use of a power miser CPU.

- Packs an Ethernet I/F (10M/100M).

- Incorporates an expansion bus (connectable to F&eIT series
modules).

- As in the case of other members of the F&eIT series, a mechanism
for attachment to the 35mm DIN rail is provided in the module
system unit as a standard item. The system features a unique
configuration for its connection to a module on the side in a
stacking manner, which allows you to configure the system simply
and elegantly without using backplanes and other connecting
devices.

System Configuration Image

Multiple I/O Controller Units and Monitoring & Control Server can
be installed on the same network. In this manner, when connected to
an Monitoring & Control Server a host controller can input and
output signals to and from the devices that are connected to a
subordinate I/O Controller Unit.

Explanation of names

- Monitoring & Control Server:
This refers to the product SVR-MMF(FIT).

Data can be collected from I/O Assist Servers and I/O controllers
connected to the network as well as from connected device
modules.
The collected data can be displayed graphically by the monitoring
function. Also, the internal programming function allows
monitoring to be customized easily to suit the application by, for
example, outputting alarms when upper or lower limits are
exceeded or sending notification at fixed time intervals.
The collected data can be stored on the unit’s CompactFlash card
and sent to other network hosts using e-mail or FTP.

SVR-MMF(FIT)2

Introduction

- I/O Assist Server Unit:
The I/O Assist Server Unit supports the management function that

enables it to collect data from, and set data to, I/O Controller Units
that belong to the same group as the Group ID that is set by using
the Group ID switches of the SVR-IOA(FIT) ("Assist Server"),
which is a CONTEC product. Group IDs can be set in a range of 0
to 7.
By connecting local terminals and office terminals by means of a
Web browser, it is possible to monitor the status of the devices that
are connected to an I/O Controller Unit.

- I/O Controller Unit:
The I/O Controller Unit is a general term that refers to any

combination of this product, the CPU-CA10(FIT), with device
modules.
Each device contains a Group ID SW and a Unit ID SW; these
switches must be set so that they are unique within the network.
The I/O Controller Unit transmits data collected from the devices
to the I/O Assist Server Unit that bears a specified Group ID.
Group IDs can be set in a range of 0 to 8, whereas Unit IDs are set
in a range of 0 to 7.
When the Group ID is set to 8, no data is transmitted to the I/O
Assist Server; instead, controls can be performed directly from a
terminal to the I/O Controller Unit.

The following device modules are available:
an 8-point digital input, an 8-point digital output module
(DIO-8/8(FIT)), a 16-point digital input module (DI-16(FIT)), a
16-point digital output module (DO-16(FIT)), an 8-point input
analog/digital converter module (ADI12-8(FIT)), a 4-point output
digital/analog converter module (DAI12-4(FIT)), and a 2-point
input counter module (CNT24-2(FIT)).
Further details on this topic may be found in the respective device
module manuals.

- HUB:
This is a line concentration device that is used when a LAN is

constructed using twisted-pair cables.
The F&eIT series includes an 8-port switching HUB unit
(SH-8008(FIT)) that is equipped with a DIN rail mounting
mechanism.

Creation and a Display of a Processing Task

- File Setup: Specifies settings for saving collected data to a file.

Files for storing collected data
can be created in the RAM area
or Cf area.
Files created in the RAM area are
lost when the power to the device
is turned off.
Files created in the Cf area are
not erased when the power is
turned off but data may be lost if
the power is turned off during a
write operation.

Specify the size of the file.
When the saved data exceeds the
file size, old data is deleted and
new data saved at the end of the
file.

Figure 7.7. File Setup

- Task Setup: Specifies the operating mode for a running task.

- Task Run: Set the execution mode for the created tasks.
The available modes are “Parallel” and “Serial”.
When “Serial” is specified, task 1 executes after task
0 completes (when an instruction passes control

outside the task screen). Tasks are executed in
order starting from the lowest task number.
Task 0 executes again after task 9 completes.
When “Parallel” is specified, the instructions
from one cell are executed from task 0 then the
instructions from one cell are executed from
task 1.

Figure 7.8. Task Setup

Tasks are executed in order starting from the lowest task number.
After task 9 executes, the instructions in the second cell for task 0
are executed. If operations such as control, data collection, and
sending mail are implemented in separate tasks, this prevents the
processing time required for mail sending from affecting control
operations.

The Kind and Outline of Parts Which Can Be

Used

Components that can be selected from [Item] on the Menu bar are
described below.
Each component represents a processing function.
When processing completes, execution proceeds to the next cell.
The next cell is determined by the “Flow” setting for the component.

(1) Set: Input or output the device value to or from the specified

TAG number variable.

External view of the Properties dialog box
component

Figure 7.24. Set

If [IO Read/Write] is set to [read], the component sets the device
value in the TAG number variable. If [write] is selected, the value of
the TAG number variable is output to the device.
The device is specified by the Group ID, Unit ID, Device ID, and
Channel.
A [Group ID] value of 9 indicates one of the local devices stacked
with this device.
The [Bit] parameter can be set to 0 to 7 or to [all]. If [Bit] is set to
between 0 and 7, the specified bit only is input or output.
Bit: 0 is the LSB (the result of ANDing the variable with 0x01).

Select [all] to input or output the entire channel value.
