CREATING A NEW PROJECT
When the user needs to create a new project:
1. On “System View”, click on the “System View” folder, and then select “File”, then “New”, the
“Project” on the next menu.
2. When the “Create New Project” window appears, the new project’s name can be defined, along with
a project comment.
3. The “Domain Number” is changeable at this point.
4. “Plant Hierarchy” is only used when a project has a Centum CS as the upper level system and
CENTUM VP is a lower level system.
Remember, at this point all the engineer is doing is entering data for WHAT HAS BEEN ORDERED.
Working with Yokogawa engineers specific FCS and I/O will be ordered based upon the process to be
controlled.

CREATING THE FCS
Creating a new FCS
When a new project is created, this window will automatically appear. If the user wants to create a new
FCS on an existing project, select the project, and then click on “File”, “New” and “FCS”. The builder
window will appear.
Defining a New FCS
Select, from the drop down menu, the “Station type” hardware model number that was ordered for your
plant.
“Database Type” defines the quantities of specific function blocks types allowed based upon the FCS
model.
“Alias of Station” allows the user to redefine the FCS name. This new name is displayed on the “system
Status” window.
“Station Status Display”
“Upper Equipment Name” allows the engineer to group associated hardware (FCS and HIS) under a
common name. This can be used in the “User Security” for restricted access.
Also defined on this panel are:
Constant: Used to define the scan periods, motor control instrument pulse widths
Constant 2: Define if an alarm occurs when a loop is in AOF, will the alarm output when a loop is taken
out of AOF.
Constant 3: Define if an alarm occurs when a loop is in AOF, will the alarm output when a loop is taken
out of AOF.
State Transition: Used for the optional batch package
Line 1: Used with the CS3000. For a FCS with RIO it defines if the busses will be redundant and if there
will be repeaters on the bus. For a FCS with FIO the interface card type to be used will be defined.
Network: Displays the Vnet TCP/IP address automatically defined by the software.

Creating a new HIS
This screen will also appear automatically when a new project is created. If the user wants to create a
new HIS on an existing project, select the project, then click on “File”, “New”, and “HIS”. From here the
user must define:
•
The type of operator station to be used, either Yokogawa or a PC.
•
The Ethernet host name and I/P address and Subnet mask.
•
The Vnet/VLnet addresses can be left as default.
Notice that the HIS station address starts at 64 for the first CENTUM VP HIS.
Buzzer Ack
All HIS stations with the same “Buzzer Ack” I.D. will allow the user to silence buzzer tones on other HIS
stations with the same “Buzzer Ack” name. This name can be up to eight characters.
Operation Group Identifier
This allows a user to acknowledge system alarms and operator guide messages on HIS with the
same identifier. Identifiers can be up to eight characters, although only the first two characters are the
actual I/D. The remaining is used as a comment. Wildcards (*) can be used in the identifier to cover larger
groupings.
Vnet/ IP protocol
Define the Ethernet host name, IP address, and subnet mask for HIS communication.
192.168.D#+128.S#+129
{D# = Domain Number; S# = Station Number}
Share HIS Help Messages
From here a master station for all of the user defined help messages can be defined. This is used if a
standard set of help messages, for all displays and tags, is required.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION EXERCISE
In this exercise you will create a new project with its FCS and HIS. Also defined will be new operation
marks and a user login. After defining these in your new project you will create and load them in
“CENTUM1X”.
Be aware that the amount of “step by step” direction will gradually decrease as you progress
through these exercises.
STARTING THE BUILDER FUNCTION WITHOUT USING OPERATIONS SCREENS
1. Power on the PC (if it isn’t already) and, at the login window, enter “CENTUM” for both the login and
password.
2. When window’s screen appears, click on “Start” at the lower left corner of the screen. From the menu
that appears, move the pointer to “Programs”, then “YOKOGAWA CENTUM” on the next menu.
Now, move the pointer to “System View” and click on it.
•
“System View” is the builder software and displays the projects on the system. Double-clicking on a
project’s name shows the units assigned to that project, and clicking on the “+” in front of the
individual units will display their builders.
Creating a New Project
1. Move the pointer to the upper left corner of the “SYSTEM VIEW” window, with the “SYSTEM VIEW”
folder selected, and click on “File”, “Create New” and “Project” on the windows that appear.
2. When the new project’s “Outline” window appears click in the “Project Information” box in the
center of this window and hit the “Enter” key on the keyboard. The software requires that some
information be entered in this field. Now, click on “OK” at the bottom of the window.
3. At the top of the “Create New Project” window, make the new name “STUDENTV” (in caps!). Now,
click on “OK”.
•
The project starts by defining the FCS.
Defining a new FCS
1. When the FCS creation window appears select “Station type” and then AFV10D from the bottom of
the list.
2. Leave the database type as “General-Purpose”, and click on “OK”.
•
NOTE: The FCS is automatically defined as station #1.
Defining a New HIS
When the HIS creation window appears, select “PC with Operation and Monitoring Functions” from the
“Station Type” menu.
Define the domain number as 1 and the station number as 64.
Define the Ethernet address as 192.168.129.193 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
Now, click on “OK”.
•
NOTE: Both the FCS and HIS now appear under the new project name.

LESSON 1
Using the On-Line Manuals for FCS Database Details
Your knowledge of how to find information within the on-line manuals is critical. Through out the up
coming exercises you will be asked to find data related to the exercise.
1. Under “System View”, click on “Help”, and then “Builder Definition Item”. When “Adobe” opens the
on-line manual filter called StoryView, maximize the screen by clicking on the single box in the upper
right-hand corner of this new window.
2. Scroll down to display the fields under “FCS Properties” and then click on “Database Type
<CENTUM VP>”.
3. Click on the “Search” icon (looks like a pair of binoculars) and enter “FFCS” and click on “Match
Whole Word Only”. Now click on “Find”.
•
You are at the section of the on-line manuals that shows the pre-defined function block types for
the database type selected for the CENTUM VP FFCS. Use the scroll arrow (or next page arrow
at the top of the page) to go through the FCS types.
4. Now locate “General Purpose”. This displays the amount of specific function block types that can be
defined with this database type.
5. Exit from the Adobe reader and StoryView.
Defining Operation Marks
In this exercise you will see how to create operation marks and define security functions to them.
1. Click on the “COMMON” folder in “STUDENTV” and then double click on “OpeMarkDef” in the righthand side of the builder screen.
2. When the operation mark builder window appears, change tag label #1 to become “SHIFT 1”.
3. Tab to color and change it to “GREEN” from the menu.
4. “Tag Level” defines the operation level allowed when this operation mark is assigned to a function
block. Make this “2”, which will disable operation to the “OFFUSER” only.
5. Define a second operation mark called “CAUTION” and make its color “YELLOW”. Make this an
“INSTALL/REMOVE” level “3” which means only an “ENGUSER” can assign or remove this
operation mark.
6. Now, click on “File” and notice that “Download” is not a selectable item (text is in gray). This happens
on the “User defined” projects, which means the changed project data can only be saved to the disk
and not the Vnet/VLnet hardware.
NOTE: “STUDENTV” is a “User defined” project you will be saving to a file on the HDD. Later we
will be running in “Test Function” mode which will allow us to test the project we are creating.
7. Click on “Save”. Select “File” again and “Exit Operation Mark Builder”.

More Practice
1. To give you more practice with the builders we have just used, go back to “CENTUM1X” and open up
the “Common” folder.
2. Double click on “OpeMarkDef” to open that folder.
3. When the operation mark builder window appears look at “CALIBRAT”.
•
“Tag Level” defines the operation level allowed when this operation mark is assigned to a function
block. “Operation Guard Type” (4) means everyone, including engineers, is locked out from
operating when this operation mark is applied.
•
“Install/Remove” level “S3 Privilege” (3) which means only an “ENGUSER” can assign or remove
this operation mark.
4. Operation marks “MAINT” and “CALIBRAT” are found on lines 1 and 2 of the operation mark builder
for “CENTUM1X”. Use the next available lines to build new operation marks “SHIFT1” and
“CAUTION” with Tag Level Comment type and Install/Remove at All Privileges.
5. Now select “File”, “Save”, and then “File” and “Exit Operation Mark Builder”.
Defining User Security
In this exercise you will create a new user with restricted access to specific graphic windows in
“STUDENTV”. After defining and loading the new user you will try the restriction out.
1. In “STUDENTV” open the “Common” folder then double click on “UserSec” to open its builder panel.
2. Click on “User Group” tab at the top of the window, which shows group names and the allowable
access for monitoring and operation. Drag the scroll bar at the bottom of the window across to the far
left hand side.
3. Click on “User Group Name” enter “TANK1” in the next available spot. Change the “Window Range”
to “TANK1-*”. This will restrict the user to only working with “TANK1-CG”, and “TANK1-GR”.
4. Click on “File” and select “Save”.
•
NOTE: The new user group will not display in the “User Definition” until this builder is saved.
5. Click on “Valid User” tab, at the top of the builder, and click on the next open “User Name”. Enter
“USER” for the “User Name”.
6. Go to the “User Group” column and select “TANK1”.
7. Click on “Save”, and then select “File” and “Exit Security Builder” for “STUDENTV”.
8. Do the same steps 1-7 for the “CENTUM1X” project to be tested later. Leave “UserSec” file open for
the “CENTUM1X” project to be used in the next online manual example.

Using the “On-line” Manuals for “User Security” details
1. Click “Help”, and then “Builder Definition Item”, this will take you to “Security Builder”. When
“Adobe” opens the on-line manual into “StoryView”, maximize the screen by clicking on the single
box in the upper right-hand corner of this new window.
2. Shown are the categories that we have been creating. Click on “Privilege Level” under the “Valid
User” heading. You are at the section of the on-line manuals that shows the pre-defined security
functions and the meaning of S1, S2, and S3. Scroll through the on-line pages to see the charts
showing S1, S2, and S3 privileges.
3. Now select “Operation and Monitoring Range” under “User Group”.
4. This shows the operation and monitoring scope of each column in the “User Group” builder.
5. Close the Adobe reader and StoryVIEW. Then click on “File”, and “Save”.
Viewing “CENTUM1X” User Security Files
1. While the “User Security” file under the “CENTUM1X – COMMON” project folder is open from the
previous online manual exercise, notice that there is a “User Name” called “LIMITED” with its “User
Group” called “Restrict”. Now, click on the “User Group” tab at the top of the window then drag the
scroll bar, at the bottom of the window, to the far left.
•
“Monitoring Range” refers to which FCS the operator can view function block faceplates.
•
“Operation and Monitoring Range” refers to which FCS the operator can change function block
data.
•
“Window Range” refers to which graphic windows the operator can view.
•
“Restrict” user group under “User Names” has been given the restrictions for “TANK*-*”. When
“LIMITED” logs in, function block data can be viewed based on user group name “Restrict”.
2. Exit from the "User Security" builder and minimize “SYSTEM VIEW”.
3. Now, on the operation screen, log in as “LIMITED” and see if you can only get to operation windows
“TANK1-CG”, “TANK1-GR”, “TANK2-CG” and “TANK2-GR”.
4. Log back in as “ENGUSER”.
