YOKOGAWA NFCP100-S00 S3 Control Processing Node module

Overview

YOKOGAWA NFCP100-S00 S3 is a control processing node module designed by Yokogawa Electric for its flagship distributed control system (DCS) – CENTUM VP series. This module is not an independently operating device, but the key brain and heart that constitutes the core of the entire DCS Control layer – FCS (Field Control Station).

FCS is the station in DCS that is directly responsible for on-site process control (such as PID regulation, logical interlocking, and sequential control). The NFCP100-S00 S3 module plays a dual role in it: it is both a controller (executing the control logic written by the user) and a network communication manager (responsible for high-speed data exchange with the upper-level operation station and the lower-level field I/O module). It is the core hardware foundation for achieving factory automation and ensuring the safe, stable and efficient operation of the production process.

Core features and advantages

1. Outstanding reliability and redundant design
With a fanless and low-power robust design, it is specifically designed for 7×24-hour continuous operation in heavy industrial environments.

Support true 1:1 hot standby redundancy. A pair of NFCP100 modules (one primary and one backup) can be configured. When any failure occurs in the main module, the backup module can take over all control tasks without disturbance and seamlessly within milliseconds, achieving “zero downtime” switching. This greatly enhances the availability and security of the system, which is crucial for process industries such as chemical engineering, petroleum, and natural gas that cannot be shut down.

2. Powerful processing performance
Equipped with a high-performance processor, it features powerful computing capabilities and ample storage space, capable of efficiently handling complex control algorithms (such as multi-loop PID, model predictive control, etc.), a large number of logic interlocks (Interlock), and Sequence control programs (Sequence).

It supports multiple task cycles and can allocate different execution cycles for loops with different priorities and control requirements, optimizing system resources.

3. Integrated dual network communication:
Vnet/IP: This is a deterministic real-time control network independently developed by Yokogawa. NFCP100 conducts high-speed and reliable data communication with upper-level human-machine interface (HMI) stations (such as HIS operator stations) and engineer stations via Vnet/IP, ensuring the real-time nature of operation instructions and process data.

Internal backplane bus: It exchanges data with various I/O modules (such as AI, AO, DI, DO modules) on the lower layer through the FCS backplane, collects field instrument signals and outputs control instructions.

4. Seamless system integration and scalability
As part of the CENTUM VP ecosystem, this module is fully compatible with Yokogawa’s various I/O modules, power modules, etc., and can be flexibly configured to meet the various needs of projects ranging from small to super-large.

It supports integration with third-party PLCS, safety instrumented systems (SIS), device packages (Package), and enterprise information networks through gateways.

5. Mature engineering software support
Configuration, programming, debugging and maintenance are carried out through Yokogawa’s unified engineering software platform “CENTUM VP System View”. This software offers multiple programming languages in compliance with the IEC 61131-3 standard (such as LD, FBD, SFC, ST), and integrates a rich control function library, which greatly enhances engineering efficiency.
