 GENERAL

FAST/TOOLS has been developed with over 40 years of experience by combining our expertise in Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) with requirements from users and industry leaders. The FAST/TOOLS package

is a powerful, modern, exible, distributed operations information and control software package. It implements a

Web-based supervisory control human machine interface, OPC server/client functions, data acquisition from a variety of controllers and devices, alarm management and historical data management. Furthermore it is a leading system package for operations control and information integration with business systems and is available on a wide range of industry standard operating platforms. Many industries and utility companies with a need for data integration and data integrity use FAST/TOOLS from Yokogawa in their applications. FAST/TOOLS is also successful in critical applications

due to its very reliable design, support of redundant and nonstop systems and its on-line conguration capabilities. These properties contribute to high e󰀩ciency and high quality production processes. FAST/TOOLS is also highly

scalable, it can easily grow with the client’s needs, both in the short and long term, avoiding premature obsolescence. As is hardware independent, it is widely supported by standard operating systems, standard network protocols, standard user interfaces, and standard software development tools. FAST/TOOLS provides solution possibilities in a wide range of control execution applications with the following characteristics:

• Multiple Process Site environments

• PLC/RTU based control systems

• Wide area communication

• Intensive (mission critical) control performed by subsystems

• Relatively high content sequential (logic) control

These characteristics are often seen in for example Oil & Gas production and transport, infrastructure, utilities monitoring and control and high performance manufacturing applications. It also allows the flexibility of combining different types of systems to provide hybrid solutions, both on new and existing sites (green and brown field development).

FAST/TOOLS is a user orientated environment. Information ows and architectures have been designed

with information availability in mind. It supports a user environment based on web technologies and can be easily extended with new applications through the use of open interfaces. Secure login and role-based authorization mechanism ensures that information is only available to the appropriate users.

Applications and process information can be rapidly deployed and easily maintained centrally on the server. This so called “zero deployment” means that client applications can be start from any web-browser

and the users get the application. There is no need to manage licenses. Benets include faster application

deliveries increased IT productivity, and widely accepted technology.

Other benets of a user environment are:

• Information can be accessed anywhere an Internet connection is available.

• The information is ‘real-time’ (no waiting time for critical information).

• The information is more secure than it would be on a personal computer.

• Upgrades containing new functions and enhancements are free and automatically deployed there is no need to manually install software or license keys.

Today Web-technologies are used more and more. Instead of specic client programs, Web browser environments become a user interface, a HMI, to an application (see gure below).

The FAST/TOOLS Web HMI consists of a Web HMI Server and a Web HMI Client component that can either run separate from the FAST/TOOLS Server or be installed altogether with the FAST/TOOLS Server environment on a standalone node. Installing the Web HMI Server on a separate node has the advantage that load can be shared between the FAST/TOOLS Server and Web HMI Server.

 SYSTEM SPECIFICA TION

FAST/TOOLS Software Modules

FAST/TOOLS is comprised of function specific software modules (specified in the table below) that connect to the communication data bus BUS/FAST. All FAST/TOOLS modules are event based and submit their events to BUS/ FAST. BUS/FAST passes these events in a highly secure and reliable manner to modules that are subscribed to these events. The result is a very low CPU-load on any system during normal operations.

FAST/TOOLS Functional Components

In addition to the software modules FAST/TOOLS defines four functional components within its software & system architecture which may be distributed across geographical dispersed locations to adapt to any specific application requirements:

Function Description

SCADA Server

Web HMI Server

Web HMI Client

Each FAST/TOOLS system comprises at least one SCADA Server, one Web HMI Server and one Web HMI Client component. These may be configured as a stand-alone or distributed system. The following table provides an overview of which of the specific FAST/TOOLS software modules are installed on each functional system component:

*1: The Web HMI Client only requires a standard supported OS and a Web browser (See System Requirements). Only one

time communication conguration to setup and by any new update new version of the Web HMI is available on the server.

The SCADA Server is the core processing unit of the system. Within a distributed conguration it manages sets of

data such as control objects (tags) and takes care of gathering data from the attached equipment in any distributed

or stand-alone conguration.

A Web HMI Server delivers an operation and monitoring window (HMI) of data & information gathered and processed by SCADA servers to Web HMI Clients.

A Web HMI Client accesses a W eb HMI Server to display process mimics, trends, alarm & events and other operating data. Furthermore each Web HMI client accommodates a full functional application engineering

environment for both database and display conguration. A Web HMI Client can run on the same computer as its Web HMI Server or on a di󰀨erent computer across LAN/WAN networks.

 SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS AND ARCHITECTURES

FAST/TOOLS has a true client/server architecture, which is not limited to stand-alone stations, and allows for distributed functionality.

Where system availability is a prime issue FAST/TOOLS can be configured to run in a redundant configuration. Several redundancy concepts are available as a standard, illustrating the flexibility of FAST/TOOLS. Examples are dual or triple server configurations, redundant networks between the SCADA system servers and clients and/or between SCADA system servers.

FAST/TOOLS supports at least any combination of the following architectures within the specified system dimension limits (see the SYSTEM SPECIFICATION section above).

Stand-alone Concept

Printer

RTU/PLC

SCADA Server

F03E.ai

The ‘Stand-alone’ concept is based on running the complete SCADA data acquisition, supervisory control, engineering and operations environment on one computer. In terms of licensing this requires only one Windows based SCADA Server package (sized to the required number of items for its application). With reference to the ‘Models and Suffix codes’ section in this GS document the minimal license requirement for this architecture – assuming only the standard driver package for field I/O communications is required – is:

The ‘Remote Web HMI Server/Client’ concept allows for more scalability. It is based on running the SCADA data acquisition, applications and real-time database environment on a dedicated heavy duty SCADA server while running the engineering and operations environment on one or more dedicated operator/engineering computers. In terms of licensing the configuration as visualized above requires one Windows, Unix or Linux based SCADA Server package (sized to the required number of items for its application) and two Web HMI Server packages (including one client). With reference to the ‘Models and Suffix codes’ section in this GS document the minimal license requirement for this architecture – assuming only the standard driver package for field I/O communications is required – is:

The ‘Remote Web HMI Client’ concept allows for enhanced HMI flexibility and negligible cost for maintaining remote clients across geographically dispersed locations. It is based on running the Web HMI Server on a dedicated computer serving its associated remote Web HMI Clients. These Web HMI Clients can be easily deployed on any computer device at any location over LAN, WAN and VPN networks. License registration is not required (zero deployment), and is initiated through a standard supported Web browser. In terms of licensing the configuration as visualized above requires one Windows or Linux based SCADA Server package (sized to the required number of items for its application) and one Web HMI Server package (including three client). With reference to the ‘Models and Suffix codes’ section in this GS document the minimal license requirement for this architecture – assuming only the standard driver package for field I/O communications is required – is:

Host to Host Architecture

The FAST/TOOLS Web HMI consists of a Web HMI Server and a Web HMI Client that can either run separate from the FAST/TOOLS Server or be installed altogether with the FAST/TOOLS Server environment on a standalone node. Installing the Web HMI Server on a separate node has the advantage that load can be shared between the FAST/TOOLS Server and Web HMI Server.

The ‘Host to Host’ concept (see gure above) allows for loosely coupling two or more autonomous FAST/TOOLS

systems to exchange or synchronize ‘real-time’ data across independent system domains.

This type of conguration may be used for applications where several systems at a central or across dispersed

process locations need to be fully independent in terms of maintainability and operations, while at the same time exchange key data with other (high level master) FAST/TOOLS SCADA Servers.

Secure Host to Host communication.

To support high levels of data and system security within FAST/TOOLS there is the possibility to encrypted host to host communication as a second level of defense and security besides IT based services such as the native integration with Active Directory Services. Communication encryption between two FAST/TOOLS Systems can be set between two FAST/TOOLS nodes or between the RGS and one FAST/TOOLS node. FAST/TOOLS Host to Host security is based on industry standards that are also used for secure communication on the Internet, such as SSL, DTLS, TLS and public/private keys. This provides an enhanced level of safety encrypted communication between the di󰀨erent FAST/TOOLS systems. Encrypted network communication (AES-256) is supported for: Host Server, Web HMI Server, Web HMI Client and Enterprise Servers connections.

 Enterprise Architecture

For large scale geographically dispersed projects, there may be a hierarchy of individual Process Automation

Systems, which in turn are each responsible for a specic region, and are managed by a higher level system. For these applications FAST/TOOLS provides a exible, scalable architecture for Enterprise Automation Solutions, by supporting multi-level/multi-node congurations. It is possible to balance server functions over multiple machines, for

example for data acquisition or for supporting many HMI clients. This architecture lends itself very well to Enterprise wide remote operations, - monitoring and - maintenance projects for dispersed production sites and supply chain

infrastructures such as oil and gas elds, pipeline grids, water distribution, energy generation, etc.

In ISA-95, the functional levels of an Enterprise Control system are dened. Note that the levels presented in

the sample architecture on the next page relate to a physical business model in which a company consists of a

headquarters, regional o󰀩ces and local o󰀩ces. All these locations can contain systems which together form the Enterprise Architecture. This should not be confused with the automation levels dened in ISA-95, in which the logical information layers of a control system are dened. In the Enterprise Architecture, four major levels are identied (see

sample architecture on the next page). Each level has its typical characteristics and usage.

Process level

The process level contains local DCS/SCADA/PLC systems or other automation control/monitoring equipment that directly interacts with the process. As an example a typical large gas production platform that is controlled by a DCS system and exchanging process information with the area level.

Area level

The area level supervises all processes within a graphical area to provide control over this area. It contains a FAST/TOOLS server node that is connected to all DCS and/or SCADA systems at the process level. A typical application at this level is to control the total amount of production within the area, and to supply production KPI’s.

Business unit level

The business unit level is typically responsible for all areas within the business unit. The business unit contains a FAST/TOOLS server node that exchanges KPI’s and other process data with the Area level. At the business unit level, users are expected to have access to data that is supportive in optimizing production of individual as well as interrelated assets.

Redundant configuration

FAST/TOOLS supports the following two redundancy schemes.

- High Availability Computing (HAC)

- Dual-redundant Platform for Computer

The following table shows the features for the both system.

High Availability Computing Dual-redundant Platform for Computer

Type Active-Standby Fault tolerant (Continuous synchronization on I/O level) Data loss Limited (*2) No data loss SW failure Supported (Change over time)(*1) Not supported HW failure Supported (Change over time)(*1) Supported (within 1sec) Sequence in operation Interrupted during change-over Continuable Remote storage Supported during change-over Not supported Disaster Recovery Supported Not Supported Field I/O size Medium/Large Small

*1: Depending on network-bandwidth and number of items.

*2: Depending on eld update frequency and data bu󰀨er protocol support.

High Availability Computing (HAC)

FAST/TOOLS supports full communication and application redundancy, independent of applied communications media and system server hardware. There are several features available in FAST/TOOLS for building high availability system congurations combined with advanced guidance tools for some typical set-ups. The Hot-Standby software module will take care of handling Dual, Triple, Quad or even Six redundant servers and

redundant hard drive congurations (RAID), independent of applied communications media, geographical distance, di󰀨erent domains, and system server hardware. Additionally, watchdog and heartbeat functionalities will manage

which server is active and which server is standby and how and when to switchover to the standby server. For HAC conguration all the servers must have the same Package including all the Server Package options. For Triple, Quad or higher, please contact Yokogawa Global SCADA Center for details.

Active

Hot Standby

F07E.ai

Figure Hot-Standby software Redundancy

Watchdog

This feature is only applicable for redundant server congurations. In this scenario one Watchdog process runs on

each of the redundant servers. A Watchdog takes a number of inputs relating to the health the ‘active’ system as

well as the current health of the ‘hot standby’ system. It decides whether the system is su󰀩ciently healthy to carry

on, or whether the redundant server should be brought online.

The Watchdog takes the following inputs as a basis for determining the health of the system:

• Current FAST/TOOLS health

• Current state of the network connection to the partner server

• Availability of network devices

• Results of custom scripts

For redundant server pairs twice the package and all the Server Package options must be ordered.

GS 50A01A10-01EN

June 5, 2020-00

<<Contents>> <<Index>>

F29E.ai

The watchdog can support the following congurations:

• Up to 4 network interfaces

• Up to 20 IP device checks

• Provision for periodic checks using custom scripts as input to the health check

Active and Hot Standby

Once a redundant server combination is up and running, one server will be running FAST/TOOLS in its entirety,

whilst the other server will be running a minimum set of FAST/TOOLS functions su󰀩cient to monitor its own system

and its associated redundant counter part. The server that is running the full real-time FAST/TOOLS environment is said to be the ACTIVE server and all SCADA functions will be handled by this machine. The other server that is running the minimum set is said to be the HOT STANDBY server and does not provide any SCADA functions (Note that only one server is allowed to be ACTIVE at any time).

Island situation

The ‘active’ server does not shut itself down in a bad health situation, but will be shut down by the ‘hot standby’

server. The only exception to this is when the server is in an island state. This means that the server detects that it has no connection to the partner, no connection to any other network devices and so is isolated from the rest of the

world. In this case it has no connection to the eld and no-one to shut it down, so the server will shut itself down in this case after a predened timeout.

Initial status

When the redundant servers are initially started they will always start up as a HOT STANDBY server. The servers

in a redundant conguration are of equal value, when the system starts initially and both servers are STANDBY the

server that has been assigned as the PRIMARY server will become ACTIVE and the other (SECONDARY) server will remain in STANDBY mode.

Data synchronization

This mechanism secures - when one or the other server becomes active at any time - that the conguration and

information on both servers is constantly synchronized, so that when the HOT STANDBY server takes over it does

so with the latest conguration and information (mirror function).

Dual-redundant Platform for Computer

FAST/TOOLS supports the Dual-redundant Platform. The dual-redundant function consists of two computers which are regarded as a unit of “logical FAST/TOOLS” to archive a SCADA function. Those two units of the FAST/TOOLS server share an identical Ethernet address, which provides other servers transparent accesses to the data without considering which one of the redundant server is active or not.

In the dual-redundant conguration, one of the two server is active and the other server is on stand-by. For

redundancy, the two units of the server are connected via a dual-redundant control network. Only the active server downloads the engineering data and equalizes them to the stand-by server via the dualredundant control network. When the active server fails, the active side automatically switches (i.e. fails over) to the stand-by server. Manual “switch over” is also available. The fail/switch over takes place in less than a second, thus the components (e.g. other server and subsystem controllers) are not inuenced. Yokogawa has limited the models of computers to be used for the Dual-redundant Platform for Computer. Contact Yokogawa for more details of computer. The reference data of performansce is described below.

 MAIN SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

Process Visualization and Supervision

Human Machine Interface

The FAST/TOOLS HMI is fully Web based and allows the operator to easily and intuitively navigate through the operator displays in a browser-like environment. The HMI is designed for intranet deployment and delivers the benefits of incorporating web technology.

Some of the main benefits are:
