This reference provides only supplemental information to interface FSC controllers with the server. For detailed information about installing and configuring FSC controllers, see the manufacturer's documentation.
FSC
Fail-safe controller.
SER
Sequence of events recorder.
SER channel
An FSC setting required so that the server can extract SOE data from the controller. The server uses the SER channel to poll for SOE data.
SOE
Sequence of events.
Base SER Number
The unique ID assigned to a serial (non-Ethernet) controller so that the server can extract SOE data from that controller.

Chapter 1 - Planning considerations for Honeywell FSC controllers
The server supports serial and Ethernet FSC controllers. However, these two controller types are different, and following differences apply:
nSerial controllers use Modbus; whereas Ethernet controllers use a proprietary protocol based on Modbus.
nThe diagnostic scan rate is not configurable in Ethernet controllers.
nThe Base SER is not required for Ethernet controllers.
nThere is a separate test utility for each type of controller.
nSystem Information and Extended Diagnostics are available for Ethernet controllers.
Honeywell FSC interface supports connection to the server via serial or Ethernet connection.
The server communicates with serial controllers using a point-to- point or multi-drop RS-232 link and FSC Modbus protocol.
Point-to-point configuration
A point-to-point configuration consists of a controller with a single
COM module connected to a port on the server through a serial link.

Multi-drop configuration
A multi-drop configuration consists of a redundant FSC controller with two COM modules connected on the same serial link which connects to a single port on the server.
Note that this type of configuration does not constitute server communications redundancy, but it does provide a means of talking to a redundant FSC system across a single channel.

Chapter 1 - Planning considerations for Honeywell FSC controllers
FSC network configuration
Using an FSC network configuration, a single FSC controller manages the data that the server requests or controls. One controller, designated as a 'master' controller, is responsible for gathering SOE data from the FSC network. This enables SOE data from any networked controller to be obtained from the master controller.
A master controller is also useful for time synchronization. The master controller is responsible for time synchronization on the FSC network—synchronizing the time on the master controller also synchronizes the time on 'slave' controllers. See the topic titled "About time synchronization on Honeywell FSC controllers" for more information.

Redundancy for serial controllers
Serial FSC controllers support communication redundancy. This is not the same as the multi-drop configuration. Communication redundancy involves a separate physical connection to communicate with the FSC controller.

Chapter 1 - Planning considerations for Honeywell FSC controllers
The server communicates with Ethernet controllers using a proprietary protocol based on the Modbus protocol. Process data connections to the FSC are made on TCP port 51000. Information scan connections to the FSC are made on TCP port 51001.
ATTENTION: Connecting or configuring a single FSC Ethernet controller to multiple servers is not a supported configuration.
Point-to-point configuration
A point-to-point configuration consists of a controller with a single COM module connected to a port on the server through an Ethernet link.

Redundancy for Ethernet controllers
Ethernet FSC controllers support communication redundancy. Communication redundancy involves a separate physical connection to communicate with the FSC controller.
The server supports the following redundancy options:
nRedundant connection to a single Central Part via a single, redundant 10018/E/E COM module
nRedundant connection to redundant Central Parts via a single, non-redundant 10018/E/1. COM module on each Central Part

The communication settings are specific to the controller type (serial or Ethernet).
The RS-232 connection is made to the controller's COM module, which can be of the following types:
n10004/./.
n10014/./.
Communication address
To communicate with a serial FSC controller, the server uses a communication address, which can be calculated using the FSC System number specified when configuring the controller.
You use the FSC configuration utility, FSC Navigator, to specify the FSC System number, which must be unique within a system of FSC controllers.
The communication address is equal to four times the FSC System number.
Modbus data tables and function codes
Serial FSC controllers use the following Modbus data tables and function codes.
In Quick Builder, you need to define a separate 'logical' controller for each data table to which the server needs access. For example, if the server needs access to the Discrete Output table and the and Input Register table, you need to define two logical controllers.
