FCN/FCJ

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

Durable Hardware

Both the FCN and the FCJ have 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.

*Please check to see if your model comes with ECC memory.

Secure control even in hazardous applications

Both the FCN and FCJ have received ATEX type n certification, FM approval and CSA certification and provide safe and secure control even in hazardous applications. Optional corrosion-proof coatings are also available.

Minimize Downtime

The I/O, power supply, CPU, and other modules are hot swappable, ensuring that your processes can continue without interruption. When exchanging modules, you can select "Hold last value" or "User preset value" for the output modules to keep your processes safe.

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.
