FSC-specific terms

FSC

Fail-safe controller.

SER

SER channel

SOE

BaseSER Number

Sequence of events recorder.

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.

Sequence of events.

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

Differences between serial and Ethernet controllers

The server supports serial and Ethernet FSC controllers. However,
these two controller types are different, and following differences
apply:

n Serial controllers use Modbus; whereas Ethernet controllers use a

proprietary protocol based on Modbus.

n The diagnostic scan rate is not configurable in Ethernet

controllers.

n The Base SER is not required for Ethernet controllers.

n There is a separate test utility for each type of controller.

n System Information and Extended Diagnostics are available for

Ethernet controllers.

Architectures for Honeywell FSC

Honeywell FSC interface supports connection to the server via serial
or Ethernet connection.

Serial connections for Honeywell FSC

The server communicates with serial controllers using a point-to­point 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.

Figure 1-1: Point-to-point configuration

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.

Ethernet connections for Honeywell FSC

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.

synchronizes the time on slave controllers. See the topic titled "About

information.

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:

n Redundant connection to a single Central Part via a single,

redundant 10018/E/E COM module

n Redundant connection to redundant Central Parts via a single,

non-redundant 10018/E/1. COM module on each Central Part

Communication settings for Honeywell FSC

The communication settings are specific to the controller type (serial
or Ethernet).

Serial connection settings for Honeywell FSC

The RS-232 connection is made to the controller's COM module,
which can be of the following types:

n 10004/./.

n 10014/./.

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.

Ethernet connection settings for Honeywell FSC

The Ethernet connection is made to the controller's 10018/E/1 or
10018/E/E COM modules.

Communication address

To communicate with an Ethernet 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.
