Product Overview

The Yokogawa NFCP100-S00 S3 is a high-performance Field Control Node (FCN) autonomous controller CPU module, serving as the core processing engine for the STARDOM industrial automation system. This module is engineered to provide a bridge between traditional PLC-style sequence control and the advanced regulatory control typically found in a Distributed Control System (DCS).

Equipped with dual Ethernet ports and supporting various communication protocols, the NFCP100-S00 S3 facilitates seamless integration between field instrumentation and supervisory levels. It is particularly adept at managing geographically distributed processes, where local intelligence, data logging, and autonomous decision-making are required to ensure continuous operation even during network interruptions.

Key Technical Characteristics

• Autonomous Operational Logic: Unlike standard I/O interfaces, this module retains its control logic locally, ensuring that process safety and control functions continue uninterrupted if the connection to the central server is lost.

• IT-Friendly Integration: Built-in Java support enables advanced IT features directly at the controller level, including web-based HMI displays, FTP file transfer for data logs, and email notifications for alarm management.

• Enterprise Connectivity: Natively supports OPC UA and OPC DA protocols via VDS (Versatile Data Server) or FAST/TOOLS, allowing for effortless data exchange with third-party SCADA systems and Windows-based enterprise applications.

• Robust Network Redundancy: The dual Ethernet ports allow for redundant network topologies, providing fault-tolerant communication pathways between the controller and the supervisory control network.

• InfoWell Application Suite: Features pre-configured software components that allow users to implement standard internet protocols (Email, Web, FTP) without extensive manual coding.

• Hardware Durability: The "S3" enhanced version features improved thermal management and vibration resistance, meeting the stringent environmental requirements of oil and gas, chemical, and utility industries.
