Configuration Details

1. 2xCPU (Dual Central Processing Units)
   • Provides redundancy for uninterrupted operation. If the primary CPU fails, the secondary CPU takes over seamlessly.
   • Executes control logic, manages I/O data, and ensures real-time process control.
2. 2xCP (Dual Communication Processors/Control Processors)
   • Handles communication between the FCS and other system components (e.g., operator stations, engineering stations, or other FCS nodes).
   • Supports protocols like VNET/IP for high-speed, deterministic communication in Yokogawa networks.
3. 2xPS (Dual Power Supplies)
   • Redundant power modules ensure continuous operation even during power failures.
   • Hot-swappable for easy maintenance without downtime.
4. FAN Unit
   • Cooling system to prevent overheating, critical for maintaining the longevity of electronic components in industrial environments.
5. 2xNIU (Network Interface Units)
   • Connects the FCS to field devices or higher-level networks (e.g., fieldbus networks like Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet I/P).
   • Redundant NIUs enhance communication reliability.

Key Features

• Redundancy: All critical components (CPU, CP, PS, NIU) are duplicated for fault tolerance.
• Scalability: Supports integration with Yokogawa’s I/O modules (e.g., AAI143, AAV141) and third-party devices.
• High Availability: Designed for 24/7 operation in industries like oil & gas, petrochemicals, and power generation.
• CENTUM VP Compatibility: Part of Yokogawa’s DCS ecosystem, enabling centralized monitoring and control via Human Interface Stations (HIS).

Applications

• Process control in refineries, chemical plants, and power facilities.
• Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) integration.
• Batch and continuous process automation.

Documentation & Support

• Technical Manuals: Refer to Yokogawa’s AFG30D Hardware Manual for installation, wiring, and maintenance guidelines.
• Firmware Updates: Ensure compatibility with the latest CENTUM VP versions.
• Yokogawa Support: Contact Yokogawa’s global service network for troubleshooting or spare parts (e.g., replacing failed NIUs or CPUs).
