 MULTIPLE PROJECT CONNECTION
CENTUM VP manages FCS and HIS engineering data, generated by the system builder functions, by the unit of
project. The multiple project connection is a function to integrate operation and monitoring of the multiple projects.
CENTUM VP HIS integratively monitors CENTUM VP, CENTUM CS 3000, CENTUM CS 1000, and CENTUM CS
projects without changing the identical names (e.g. tag name, project name, and plant hierarchy name) and common
resources (e.g. engineering unit, and operation mark).
There are two ways of multiple project connection.

 Hierarchical Connection
CENTUM VP project on the upper-layer is able to operate and monitor lower-level projects. In this case, CENTUM
VP on the upper-level project requires installing a multiple project connection package. From the lower-level
projects, operation and monitoring of the CENTUM VP on the upper-level is not available. Following types of multiple
connections are available.

 Bi-directional Connection
Operation and monitoring of the connected projects are enabled bi-directionally. The bi-directional connection is
applicable only for CENTUM VP projects and/or CENTUM VP and CENTUM CS 3000 projects. Multiple project
connection packages are required for both upper- and lower-levels of the systems.

For coaxial cables (YCB111 and YCB141):
YCB141 is used with HIS and a compact type FCS (for FIO).
YCB111 is used for other components. When connecting YCB141 and YCB111 with cables, use a Bus
Adapter Unit (YCB147 or YCB149) or Bus Repeater (YNT512).
For YCB111 cable, a ground unit (YCB117) is required per segment (*1).
For optical fiber cable:
Use YNT511D/YNT522D Optical Bus Repeater

*1: In case V net is connected with optical bus repeater, the definition of a segment is an area segmented by repeaters.

Transmission Distance:
For coaxial cables (YCB111 and YCB141):
Transmission distance: Max. 500 m (for YCB111),
Max. 185 m (for YCB141)
When only YCB141 cable is used, the number of stations to be connected is max. 30 stations/segment.
When YCB111 and YCB141 are used in combination:
Length of YCB141 + 0.4 x Length of YCB111 ≤ 185 m0

*1: In case V net is connected with optical bus repeater, the definition of a segment is an area segmented by repeaters.

<<Contents>> <<Index>> 8
For Bus Repeater and Optical Bus Repeater:
With bus repeater (YNT512S or YNT512D), the transmission distance is extended up to 500 m.
With a pair of optical bus repeaters (YNT511S or YNT511D) it is up to 4 km.
With a pair of optical bus repeaters (YNT522S, YNT522D) it is up to 15 km.
Bus repeaters and optical repeaters can be mounted on to the two stations are maximum 8 units.
And the optical repeaters are used by a pair (2 units/pair).
The number of bus repeaters limits the transmission distance:
L = 24 – n
L: Transmission distance (km)
n: Number of bus repeaters and optical bus repeaters

The total transmission distance is the smaller of the sum of the maximum extension distance for each device and the
length of the coaxial cable length, and the value of L calculated by the above calculation.

Figure Example of Optical Bus Repeater Connection

Case 1: From HIS001 to FCS001
When a pair of optical bus repeater for 15 km is mounted, the transmission distance by the number of bus repeater
and optical bus repeater is 24 - 2 = 22 km, while the sum of the maximum extension distance for each device and
coaxial cable length = 0.5 + 15 + 0.5 = 16 km. Therefore, the total transmission distance is 16 km.

Case 2: From HIS001 to FCS004

When 4 optical bus repeaters (one pair of 4 km and one pair of 15 km) are mounted, the transmission distance by
the number of bus repeaters and optical bus repeaters is 24 - 4 = 20 km, while the distance for each device and
coaxial cable length = 0.5 + 4 + 0.5 + 15 + 0.5 = 20.5 km. Therefore, the total transmission distance is 20 km.

Case 3: From FCS001 to FCS004

When 6 optical bus repeaters (one pair of 4 km and two pairs of 15 km) are mounted, the transmission distance by
the number of bus repeater and optical bus repeater is 24 - 6 = 18 km, while the sum of the maximum extension
distance for each device and coaxial cable length = 0.5 + 15 + 0.5 + 4 + 0.5 + 15 + 0.5 = 36 km. Therefore, the total
transmission distance is 18 km.

Limitations to Optical Bus Repeater

Optical bus repeaters can be installed up to 4 pairs (8 units) among stations. The following figure shows an
example of the optical bus repeaters.

 REMARKS FOR SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
 Use of server due to the number of computer in a system
When a CENTUM VP system consists of five or more computers, for use as HIS and others, consider if a server (OS:
Windows Server) is required or not for storing CENTUM VP project data. A server is required when a CENTUM VP
system with nine or more computers and LHS5425 Expanded Test Functions are applied. In case LHS5170 Access
Administrator Package (for FDA:21 CFR Part11 Compliant) is applied where there are nine or more computers
connected, provide a server for historical data storage.

Project Data Storage

When a CENTUM VP system consists of more than five clients use below calculations to judge if it requires a data
storage server or not. In case the calculated value is greater than the value on the right side (i.e. 9) save the project
data in a server.
Judging Criteria
• SSS5700 Engineering Tool for Fieldbus is not in use

Equation 1 No. of Exaopc + No. of HIS + {(No. of ENG – 1) x 2} ≥ 9

• SSS5700 Engineering Tool for Fieldbus is in use

Equation 2 No. of Exaopc + No. of HIS + {(No. of ENG – 1) x 2} + 2 ≥ 9

• LHS4450 Multiple Project Connection Function is in use.
Calculate and judge by the criteria shown in the below table. When the number of stations is greater than the
value on the right side of the equation, project data has to be stored on a server. Prepare two servers when the
calculation results require one each for both upper and lower levels of the project. However, a server is not required
when CENTUM CS is used for the lower-level project, and calculation is applied only for the upper-level project.
Table Judging Criteria

SSS5700 Engineering Tool for Fieldbus

Not in use In use

Multiple Project Connection Function is Upper-level project Equation 1 Equation 2

in use Lower-level project Equation 3 Equation 4

Judging Criteria

Equation 3 No. of Exaopc + No. of HIS + {(No. of ENG – 1) x 2} + α ≥ 9

Equation 4 No. of Exaopc + No. of HIS + {(No. of ENG – 1) x 2} + 2 + α ≥ 9
α: No. of HIS with LHS4450 Multiple Project Connection Packages on the upper-level project
No. of Exaopc: No. of computer with NTPF100 Exaopc OPC interface package.
(LHS2411 Exaopc OPC interface package is excluded.)
No. of HIS: No. of computer with LHS1100 Standard Operation and Monitoring Function
(Count all the number of this package used in the project.)
No. of ENG: No. of computer with LHS5100 Standard Builder Function.
(Count all the number of this package used in the project. When it is resided with the standard operation and
monitoring function, count them independently.)

Audit Trail Management Data Storage

When the sum of computers is nine or more (for ENG, and Recipe Management computer) for stations connected
to CENTUM VP while LHS5170 Access Administrator Package (FDA: 21 CFR Part11 compliant) is resided, save
the audit trail management data in a server. Calculate the sum of computers to be connected by using the following
Equation 5. When the calculation result is eight or less, there is no need for server.

Equation 5 No. of stations connected = No. of recipe management package + No. of ENG
No. of Recipe Management Package: No. of computer with LHS5166 Recipe Management Package (VP Batch).
ENG: No. of computer with LHS5100/LHM5100 Standard Builder Function.

 COMPLIANCE TO FDA: 21 CFR PART 11
Part 11 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR Part 11) is a regulation issued by the U. S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) providing a criteria of electronic records, electronic signatures, and handwritten signatures
executed to electronic records as equivalent to paper records and handwritten signatures executed on paper. The
main categories of the FDA: 21 CFR Part 11 requirements to the process control system can be interpreted as
“limiting system access to authorized individuals” and “audit trail” functions.

 Limiting System Access (Individual Authentication)

CENTUM VP has two approaches for limiting access to the system; one is “engineer/operator authentication” and
the other is “confirmation of authentication.” Engineer/operator authentication is to identify engineers and operators
in operation as well as to maintain operation records. Names of the engineers and operators are registered to the
system in advance, and if their names and the passwords are not identified, the control system does not allow them to
perform further operations. Confirmation of authentication is to confirm if an engineer or an operator has appropriate
authorities to perform certain operations. The engineer/operator authentication and the confirmation of authentication
will be performed independently as necessary.

 Audit Trail Management

CENTUM VP audit trail function saves change data to the predefined database whenever an engineering work that
may influence the product quality such as data downloads to FCS. All the actions performed are also stored in the
historical log file. With this function, who, when, what, how, and why data is changed can be traced back.

Here is an example of CENTUM VP system configuration complied with 21 CFR Part 11. LHS5166 Recipe
Management Package of VP Batch is adopted for recipe management.
