Vnet/IP Stations

HIS

An HIS serves as a human machine interface of the CENTUM system that is used for operation

and monitoring. Software packages installed on a computer or on a console HIS, consisting of a

computer and Open Display Console Assembly. You can install and run operation and monitoring

functions, and/or engineering functions on an HIS as necessary.
A Vnet/IP interface card is required to connect to Vnet/IP.

ENG

An ENG is a station with engineering functions that performs CENTUM system configuration and

maintenance management. It can be the same station as the HIS.
A Vnet/IP interface card is required to connect to Vnet/IP.

FCS

An FCS performs process control and manages communications with subsystems such as

PLCs.
The following types of FCS are available for Vnet/IP and FIO:

AFV30S:

Field Control Unit (for Vnet/IP and FIO, 19-inch Rack Mountable)

AFV30D:

Duplexed Field Control Unit (for Vnet/IP and FIO, 19-inch Rack Mountable)

AFV40S:

Field Control Unit (for Vnet/IP and FIO, with Cabinet)

AFV40D:

Duplexed Field Control Unit (for Vnet/IP and FIO, with Cabinet)

AFV10S:

Field Control Unit (for Vnet/IP, 19-inch Rack Mountable)

AFV10D:

Duplexed Field Control Unit (for Vnet/IP, 19-inch Rack Mountable)

APCS

An APCS performs control functions with a station to improve advanced control and plant

efficiency.

The APCS requires installation of the “LFS1200 APCS Control Functions.” A Vnet/IP interface

card is required to connect to Vnet/IP.

UGS

A UGS is a station that integrates subsystem controllers such as STARDOM controllers (FCN/

FCJ) or third party PLCs with the CENTUM VP system. It is connected by subsystem controllers

and various communication protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet/IP, and OPC DA. Similar to the

FCS, you can operate and monitor UGS from the HIS.

The UGS requires installation of the “LBC1500 Unified Gateway Station Standard Function

(UGS).” A Vnet/IP interface card is required to connect to Vnet/IP.
