Product Overview
The AFV10D-F1 is a Duplexed Field Control Unit (FCU) designed as the primary intelligence hub within the Yokogawa CENTUM VP Integrated Production Control System. It ensures high-availability process automation by utilizing a redundant architecture, preventing system downtime in the event of processor or power failure. Optimized for standard 19-inch rack mounting, the unit handles real-time control calculations and coordinates data flow between field I/O nodes and the Vnet/IP network, making it essential for critical industrial applications.

Application and Implementation
The AFV10D-F1 is ideal for medium-to-large scale industrial facilities, such as:
-
Water treatment plants
-
Chemical processing units
-
Oil and gas refineries
It uses the Vnet/IP protocol to ensure secure and deterministic communication for PID loops and complex sequential logic. The duplexed design is crucial in "always-on" processes where controller resets would cause significant production loss, ensuring continuous operation without interruptions.
Redundancy & Maintenance FAQ
How does the AFV10D-F1 handle a processor failure?
The AFV10D-F1 operates in "Hot Standby" mode. Both processor modules perform identical calculations in parallel. If the primary module fails a self-diagnostic check, the secondary module takes over the control of the I/O bus and Vnet/IP traffic within milliseconds, ensuring that the process continues without interruption.
Is it possible to replace a module while the unit is powered?
Yes, the AFV10D-F1 supports hot-swapping of a failed redundant module (processor or power supply) while the partner module continues running the process, as long as the system is in a duplexed state.
