Software (for Development and Maintenance)
There are 2 Software for Stardom FCN/FCN-RTU/FCJ:

1) Resource Configurator
2) Logic Designer

By Yokogawa By Microsoft

Resource Configurator and Logic Designer are software tools to be installed on a PC

for FCN/FCJ development and maintenance. Routine and advanced setup by
accessing an FCN/FCJ as a Web server can also be carried out using a Web
browser such as Internet Explorer.

Resource Configurator Functions

Downloading Setup Information

Downloading setup information to the FCN/FCJ using
Resource Configurator writes the setup information to the
FCN/FCJ system card.
In addition, setup information for each I/O module is
downloaded to the I/O module.
(Only setup information that has been changed is
downloaded.)

TIP: I/O Module Setup Information

Setup information downloaded to an I/O module is stored in
its memory. Hence, such setup information would need to
be rewritten when an I/O module is replaced.
(When replacing an I/O module, you may specify to have the
system automatically write setup information stored on the
system card to the memory of the I/O module).

● What Happens When You Connect to an FCN/FCJ

When you connect to an FCN/FCJ using Resource

Configurator, the following information is automatically

Logic Designer Functions
● Programming Languages
The following 5 programming languages, all compliant to the
IEC61131-3 International Standard are available, and may be selected
based on your application requirements and preferences.
- FBD (Function Block Diagram)
FBD implements data processing by modularizing various functions
into blocks and connecting the blocks using signal lines. By supporting
system development according to data flow, FDB is most suited for
continuous control of analog signals.
- LD (Ladder Diagram)
Ladder Diagram is the most widely used programming language for
PLC. Using symbols of contacts and coils as basic elements, it
enables graphical coding of logic operations.
- SFC (Sequential Function Chart)
SFC is suited for building process sequence applications. It enables
clear description of sequential control. Combining SFC describing
sequential control and LD describing non-sequential control such as
exception handling allows building of neat sequence programs.
- IL (Instruction List)
Instruction list is a standardized mnemonic language. By allowing one
operator and its operands to be coded on a single line, it avoids
ambiguous expressions but is cumbersome for coding complex logical
relationships.
- ST (Structured Text)
ST is a textual language similar to high-level programming languages
such as PASCAL, which allows multi-branch process applications to
be coded using IF-THEN-ELSE statements, as well as complex

debug control applications to be executed on an
FCN/FCJ.

Logic Designer Functions

● Debugging Support

Logic Designer provides the following functions, which

greatly simplifies debugging and maintenance of control
applications.

- Software Wiring Function

Software wiring to I/O modules using connection definitions
enables debugging without real external signal input.
- Online Layout and Value Display
Values of variables in a program can be displayed and

execution. Stepwise execution can be carried out
subsequently.

- Logic Analyzer Function

The logic analyzer function records variable values at
specified time intervals, and displays the result graphically.

- Watch Window
Registering variables to a Watch Window enables
monitoring of their values.
