A node for holding I/O modules can be created.
■ Creating a New Node : KFCS2/KFCS £
Create a new node for installing an I/O module. While selecting the [IOM] folder, select [Create New] - [Node] from the [File] menu. The following new FIO node dialog box for creating a new node will be displayed:

Figure New FIO Node Dialog Box : KFCS2/KFCS £
The definition items of the new FIO node dialog box are as follows:
● Node Type : KFCS2/KFCS £
▼ Type
Two selections, Local and Remote, are available for Type. Specify the type of a node to be created. To create a remote node, it is necessary to define an EB401 (ER bus interface master module) for a local node to which that remote node is to be connected in advance.
If a remote node is specified without defining an EB401 in advance, a warning dialog box will be displayed.

For the definition of the EB401, see the following:
“■ Creating a New EB401 (ER Bus Interface Master Module) : KFCS2/KFCS £” in F1.5.2, “Creating a New I/O Module”

<F1.5 Creating a New IOM>
● Node Number : KFCS2/KFCS £
▼ Node
The node number is used to identify a node unit. Specify a node number between 1 and 15(*1). The default node number is 1.
A maximum of 10(*1) local nodes, a maximum of 14(*1) remote nodes, and a total of 15(*1) local and remote notes when they are mixed can be connected. Also, a maximum of four ER buses can be connected to each KFCS2/KFCS.
*1: The number of nodes for a FCS varies with the database type of the FCS.
Nevertheless, the node number of a local node can be designated within the range of 1 to 10 regardless of the database type.
● Remote Master Specification : KFCS2/KFCS £
▼ Master
Select the installation position of the EB401 (ER bus interface master module) to which a remote node is to be connected. Specify this item only when the node type is remote. The installation position is expressed in the following format:
NODEn\sEB401 n: Node number s: Slot number
● Making the Power Supply Unit (PSU) Dual-Redundant : KFCS2/KFCS £
▼ Dual-Redundant Power Supply
Specify whether or not to make the power supply unit dual-redundant. To make the power supply unit dual-redundant, check this check box. By default, this check box is checked (dual-redundant power supply unit).
● Power Supply Capacity of the Power Supply Unit (PSU) : KFCS2/KFCS £
▼ Power Supply Capacity
The power supply unit has two options, 80W or 40W. When using 80W power supply unit, up to six modules(*1) which can supply power to field transmitter can be installed in one node unit.
If 40 W power supply unit is used, the external power supply is required when the I/O modules providing power to the field transmitters. in this case, check the check box of [24VDC from External Power Unit]. If the installed I/O modules do not supply power to the field transmitters, do not check the check box of [24VDC from External Power Unit]. Thus the 24VDC will not be supplied to the field transmitters.
*1: The following I/O modules may supply power to the field transmitters.
• AAI141-S (Analog Input Module)
• AAI135-S (Analog Input Module)
• AAI143-S (Analog Input Module)
• AAI543-S (Analog Output Module)
• AAI841-S (Analog Input/Output Module)
• AAB841-S (Analog Input/Output Module)
• AAI835-S (Analog Input/Output Module)
• AAP135-S (Pulse Input Module)

● Component Number : KFCS2/KFCS £
▼ Component Numer
Enter the component number within eight single-byte characters. This field is blank by default.
The component number is a number assigned to a cabinet that houses an FCS. This number is used to indicate the connecting source and destination of each cable when cables are wired.
The specification of the component number may be omitted.
● Node Comment : KFCS2/KFCS £
▼ Node Comment
Enter a comment on the node within 24 single-byte or 12 double-byte characters. This field is blank by default. The specification of the node comment may be omitted.
● Changing the Node Properties : KFCS2/KFCS £
While selecting a node folder (NODExx), select [Properties] from the [File] menu. The new FIO node dialog box will be displayed to change the properties of the node. In this dialog box the dual-redundant power supply and power supply capacity of the power supply unit, the component number, and the node comment can be modified.
To change the node type (local/remote), delete the corresponding node, and then create a new node.
● Deleting a Node : KFCS2/KFCS £
While selecting a node folder (NODExx), select [Delete] from the [File] menu, or press the [Del] key on the keyboard. A dialog box that confirms the deletion of the node will be dis-played. Click the [OK] button to delete the node. However, if there is an IOM under the node, the node can not be deleted.

■ Creating a New Node : LFCS2/LFCS £
When a new LFCS is added, one node will be automatically created in primary I/O bus.
You can create more nodes, delete existing nodes and change nodes’ properties.
While selecting the [IOM] folder, select [Create New] [Node] from the [File] menu. The following create new node dialog box will be displayed:

Figure Create New NODE Dialog Box : LFCS2/LFCS £
The create new node dialog box consists of the Type tab and the Unit tab. The definition items of the create new node dialog box are as follows:
● Node Number (Type Tab) : LFCS2/LFCS £
▼ Node Number
The node number is a number to identify a node, which is set between 1 to 8. The default is 1.
● Dual-Redundant Power Supply (Type Tab) : LFCS2/LFCS £
▼ Dual-Redundant Power Supply
Specify whether or not to make the power supply unit dual-redundant. To make the power supply unit dual-redundant, check this check box. By default, this check box is checked (dual-redundant power supply unit).
● HKU Set (Type Tab) : LFCS2/LFCS £
▼ HKU Set
Select “Yes” if you use a housekeeping unit (HKU), “No” if you do not. The default is “No.” If the air aspiration and exhaustion temperatures are 35 degrees C or more and 40 degrees C or more in the I/O Expansion Cabinet respectively, the HKU speeds up the revolution of fans to inhibit the temperature increase.
