FCN-500

High reliability and high speed are essential for the systems that control your critical processes. The dual redundant model of the field control node (FCN) autonomous controller ensures that these processes continue without interruption even when a module is replaced.

Exclusive features for FCN-500

• Modular type PLC/RTU

• Wider operation temperature (-20 to 70 ℃*)

• Dual redundant configuration for CPU unit, power supply unit, and control networks

• 4 network ports model available

• Improved file system stability in case of power failure

• PC-less maintenance capability using SD card

• Online changeable battery
                    *Depending on I/O modules

For steady operations, high reliability is an essential requirement in the systems that controls and acquires data from various devices and processes and which interlink with other controllers in the control domain. The STARDOM autonomous controllers FCN-500 have rugged and highly reliable software and hardware, and as an optional feature support dual-redundant configurations for mission-critical applications.

Never Interrupts Your Process

High reliability is essential for the systems that control your critical processes. The dual redundant capability of the field control node (FCN) autonomous controller ensures that these processes continue without interruption even when a damaged module is replaced.

• CPU unit, power supply unit, FOUNDATION™ fieldbus module, and control network can all be dual redundant.

• Automatic switchover to stand-by CPU

• Automatic data transfer from control side to replaced stand-by CPU

• Hot-swappable modules including CPU and I/O modules

• Fault-tolerant design (including ECC memory)

Durable Hardware

FCN-500 has a highly durable design. In addition to features such as fan-less cooling, there are no IC chips on the backplane, preventing mechanical failures. Furthermore, the use of error check and correct (ECC) memory prevents software failures.

Advanced Self Diagnosis

Rich diagnostic functions make it possible to keep track of CPU temperature, SRAM memory status, and I/O module status. In addition to the diagnostic functions that are performed by the CPU, the analog input modules have embedded self-diagnostic functions that can detect disconnected wires and short-circuits by continuously monitoring the loop status.
