GENERAL

The YS1700 Programmable Indicating Controller can be tailored for various applications by running a user program,and offers high reliability thanks to Yokogawa’s proprietary technology, user friendliness, and expandability.

Standard models are smaller and lighter than earlier series,requiring less space for installation, and are compliant with international safety standards including the CE Mark and FM,CSA nonincendive (optional) approvals. For easy replacement of earlier controllers, models requiring the same panel cutout dimensions and depth as those of earlier models are also offered.

FEATURES

• Excellent legibility thanks to a full-dot, TFT LCD: High visibility of the display screen is ensured even in direct sunlight in the early morning and late afternoon. The user can freely access a desired operation display from meter, trend display, bar graph, alarm, and event displays. All parameters can be set via the front panel display.

• Function block programming: Besides the text programming compatible with earlier models, the YS1700 offers the new GUI-based programming method, function block programming. The optional YSS1000 Setting Software for YS1000 Series is used to develop user programs.

• Large programming capacity: Program capacity is 1000 steps for a text program, and 400 modules for a function block program.

• More powerful control and calculation functions: IEEE754 format four-byte floating-point calculations enable actual values to be used in calculations. More than a hundred types of calculation modules are featured, including exponential and logarithmic functions, temperature compensation, and pressure compensation.

• Function selection mode (needs no programming): The multi-function controller mode allows control to be selected from frequently used functions (single-loop, cascade, or selector control) without programming. Function assignments to digital and analog inputs/outputs (DIs, DOs, AIs,

and AOs) can be determined by parameter settings.

• Expandable I/O: The basic type with expandable I/O has eight analog inputs, four analog outputs, ten digital inputs or ten digital outputs (total fourteen digital inputs and outputs).

• Fail-safe: Thanks to dual CPU (one for control and one for dis play), display and manual operations are enabled even during a failure of either CPU. The hard manual circuit incorporated independently from the digital circuits enables the controller output to be adjusted manually during a failure of a digital circuit including both CPUs. (The hard manual circuit is not incorporated when the suffix code -2xx option is specified.)

• Nonvolatile memory for memory backup: No battery or capacitor is used for memory backup, facilitating maintenance.

• AC/DC dual power supply with wide operating voltage range to ensure stability against supply voltage fluctuations: Can be driven by either an AC (100 V) or DC (24 V) power supply.Furthermore, the DC power supply enables receiving power without polarity. (Must be specified upon ordering if using a 220 V AC power supply.)

• 250 mm depth (for basic types only)

• Dust- and splash-proof IP54 faceplate (for basic type only)

• CE Mark (for basic type and YS100 compliant type only)

• FM Nonincendive explosion protection (optional for basic type only)

• CSA Nonincendive explosion protection (optional for basic type) .

• Communication (optional)

– Ethernet (Modbus/TCP; for basic type only)

– RS485 (PC Link, Modbus, Peer-to-Peer communication, and YS protocol; unavailable for YS80 internal unit-compatible type)

– DCS-LCS communication

• Compatibility with YS100 Series: Setting and control operations can be done with the same feel. For basic-type cases,terminal-to-terminal pitches differ but the signal to terminal arrangement is almost the same.

2. Key usage requirements

Personnel qualifications: Installation, configuration, operation and maintenance operations must be carried out by professionally trained personnel who are familiar with relevant regulations (such as IEC 61508, NFPA series standards).

Responsibility statement: If the device is used in a manner that does not comply with the manufacturer’s regulations, the protective function of the device may become ineffective; Rockwell is not responsible for indirect/consequential damages, and the examples in the manual are for illustration only and do not represent actual application guarantees.

System core features and authentication

1. Core functions and security design

Application scenarios: Suitable for safety critical scenarios such as emergency shutdown (ESD), fire and gas detection, rotating machinery control, burner management, etc., while supporting non safety but business critical control requirements.

Security Capability:

Both fail safe and fault tolerant architectures are supported, and fault tolerance can be realized through two module (1oo2D) or three module (2oo3D) configurations.

Built in comprehensive diagnostic function, capable of detecting hardware/software faults. The faulty module needs to be replaced within the mean time to repair (MTTR) to avoid a decrease in SIL level.

Supports two configurations: “Power Loss Trip (DTT)” and “Power On Action (ETA)”, and the number of modules needs to be selected based on SIL level and demand rate (high/low) (see Table 1).

2. Module configuration and SIL compliance requirements

Minimum module configuration for different application scenarios (simplified version of Table 1):

Application type, number of input modules, number of processor modules, number of output modules

SIL 2/3， Low/high demand, DTT 1 2 1

SIL 2， High demand, ETA 2 2 2

SIL 3， High demand, ETA 2 2 2

Note: The single channel digital output module includes a series switch. The DTT scenario supports SIL 3, while the ETA scenario only supports SIL 2; There are no three module output configuration options.

3. International certification and compliance standards

Functional safety certification: Compliant with IEC 61508 SIL 3, certified by an independent certification body.

Hazardous environment certification:

North America: Class I, Division 2, Groups A-D (UL 61010-2-201, CSA C22.2 standard).

Europe/UK: ATEX (DEMKO 11 ATEX 1129711X, Ex ec IIC T4 Gc), UKCA (UL24UKEX2993).

International: IECEx (certificate number IECEx UL 12.0032X).

Other compliance: Complies with industry standards such as EN 50156 (furnace control), EN 54 (fire alarm), NFPA 85/86/87 (boilers/ovens/fluid heaters), etc.

Safety lifecycle and management system

1. Safety lifecycle stages

The full lifecycle defined by IEC 61508 must be followed, with core stages including:

Scope definition: Clearly define system boundaries, interfaces (with processes/third-party equipment), and environmental requirements (such as temperature and power).

Hazard and Risk Analysis: Identify hazardous events, trigger sequences, and risk levels as inputs for safety requirements.

System Design and Engineering: Divide system architecture, define security requirement levels for each component, and refine hardware/software design.

Integration and Verification: The application is integrated with the controller to test and verify whether SIF meets SIL requirements (such as response time and fault handling).

Operation and Maintenance: Develop an operation/maintenance plan to ensure the SIL level is maintained during operation; Changes must be strictly controlled, and suspensions must follow safety procedures.

2. Requirements for Safety Management System

Policy and Planning: Functional safety policies need to be developed to clarify measures, responsibilities, and record management (including change control) for each stage of the lifecycle.

Personnel capability: Personnel qualifications need to be evaluated, including engineering experience, functional safety knowledge, regulatory familiarity, etc. Higher qualification requirements are required for high-risk scenarios.

Functional Safety Assessment (FSA): Led by senior personnel independent of the project, it reviews whether the entire lifecycle work meets the requirements.

System Architecture Design (SIL 2/3)

1. SIL 2 architecture

Fault safety architecture: single input (1oo1D), dual processor (1oo1D degraded), single output (1oo1D), triggering a safe state in case of a fault.

Fault tolerant input architecture: dual/triple input (1oo2D/2oo3D), dual processors, single output. When a single input module fails, it will operate in a degraded state while still maintaining safety functions.

High demand architecture: dual input, dual processor, dual output, ensuring that faulty modules are replaced within MTTR to avoid SIF shutdown.

2. SIL 3 architecture

Fault safe I/O+fault-tolerant processor: single input/output, dual/triple processor (1oo2D/2oo3D), downgraded in case of processor failure, dual fault triggers safe state.

Fault tolerant I/O architecture: dual input/output, dual processors, both input/output modules support 1oo2D degradation, suitable for high safety requirements scenarios.

TMR architecture: three inputs, three processors (2oo3D), dual outputs, with the strongest fault tolerance. A single module failure does not affect system operation. When there are two failures, it will be downgraded, and when there are three failures, it will trigger a safe state.

3. Secure network communication

SNCP protocol: SIL 3 certified “Black Channel” protocol, supports Ethernet transmission of secure data, achieves data exchange between controllers through “variable binding”, and can be configured as single network (fail safe) or dual network (fault-tolerant).

Peer to Peer communication: Supports SIL 3 data transmission between AADdistance and Trusted controllers, based on master-slave mode, and recommends using redundant networks to ensure availability.

Installation and environmental requirements

1. Non hazardous environment

Environmental conditions: temperature -25 ° C~+60 ° C, pollution level ≤ 2 (IEC 60664-1, only non-conductive pollution, occasional condensation); The burner management application requires an enclosure protection level of IP40 (indoor)/IP54 (outdoor).

Installation requirements: The module should be installed vertically (ensuring natural heat dissipation), DIN rail or wall mounted, without the need for forced air cooling.

2. Hazardous environment

Special requirements:

The enclosure protection level is ≥ IP54 (IEC 60079-0/7) and must be marked with “Do not open when powered on”.

Grounding wire cross-sectional area ≥ 3.31mm ², wire temperature rating ≥ 85 ° C, only supports vertical installation.

The temperature range is the same as non hazardous environments, and the pollution level is ≤ 2.

Operations and Security Assurance

1. Key daily maintenance items

Fault handling: When the processor/input/output module fails, it needs to be replaced within MTTR; If not replaced in a timely manner, the relevant SIF needs to be shut down (unless there are compensatory measures in the SRS document).

Calibration and testing: Regularly calibrate sensors/actuators, test SIF response time (≤ 1/2 of process safety time PST), and archive test records.

Backup and Update: Regularly backup system configuration (AADvance Workbench/SIS Workstation project) and test backup effectiveness; Firmware updates require the use of the ControlFLASH tool.

2. System security measures

Network security: it is forbidden to connect to the unprotected Internet; Computers need to have firewalls, antivirus software, and password protection enabled; The software license USB key needs to be properly kept.

Port security: Some Ethernet ports (such as TCP 1132, UDP 2010) are open by default, and unused ports need to be closed through a firewall (refer to the configuration guide).

Program Security: The application requires password protection, and the controller needs to insert the “Program Enable Key” to modify the configuration; It is prohibited to force I/O points during operation, and it is recommended to use the program’s “override” logic for maintenance.

LED indicator lights: 3 fixed protection lights (Ready/Start/Trip)+11 programmable alarm lights (such as differential protection action, CT fault);

Key functions: navigation key (switching menu), control key (circuit breaker opening and closing), function key (alarm confirmation, reset, local/remote switching).

Web HMI（WHMI）

Access method: accessed through IE 7.0+browser, disabled by default, requires manual activation;

Core functions and standard configurations

（1） Three standard configuration schemes

RED615 provides three predefined configurations that cover different ground fault protection requirements, with the following core differences:

Configuration Type Core Protection Function Applicable Scenarios Key Modules

Configure A (line differential protection), including line differential protection (87L), three-phase overcurrent protection (50P/51P), negative sequence overcurrent protection (46), and circuit breaker failure protection (51BF), for cable feeders. In scenarios where ground fault protection is not required, there is no zero sequence voltage input and the CT synthesis of zero sequence current is relied upon

Configuration B (including directional grounding fault protection) Configuration A: All functions+directional grounding fault protection (67N), transient/intermittent grounding fault protection (67NIEF), automatic reclosing (79). For overhead lines/cable mixed lines, it is necessary to distinguish the fault direction of the power grid (such as multi power distribution network), including zero sequence voltage input (U ₀), and adapt to the compensation grounding system

Configuration C (including non directional grounding fault protection) Configuration A: All functions+non directional grounding fault protection (50N/51N), automatic reclosing (79), radiation type distribution network, no need to distinguish fault direction scenarios (such as single power supply feeders) rely on CT synthesized zero sequence current, no zero sequence voltage input

（2） Detailed explanation of key protection functions

Line differential protection (LNPLDF1, 87L)

Core function: As the main protection, it realizes unit protection of the line and quickly cuts off internal faults;

Features: Contains stable low order (can be locked by CT fault detection) and instantaneous high order (can dynamically adjust the action value through remote circuit breaker status);

Communication dependency: It is necessary to establish protective communication with the remote IED, which will automatically lock in case of communication failure to avoid misoperation.

Earth fault protection

Directional (configuration B): Based on the phase of zero sequence current (I ₀) and zero sequence voltage (U ₀), the fault direction is determined, suitable for multi terminal power grids, divided into low order (sensitive section) and high order (fast section);

Non directional (configuration C): Based solely on zero sequence current amplitude action, suitable for single ended power grids, divided into low order, high-order, and instantaneous order.

Automatic reclosing (DARREC1, 79, configuration B/C optional)

Starting condition: triggered by protection action signals (such as overcurrent, ground fault);

Locking logic: The circuit breaker spring is not storing energy, the gas pressure is low, and it is locked when manually opening;

Status indication: LED5 is lit during the reclosing process, and an alarm is triggered when it fails.

Circuit breaker related protection and monitoring

Circuit breaker failure protection (CCBRBRF1, 51BF/51NBF): When the circuit breaker is not opened after the protection action, a trip command is sent to the upstream circuit breaker;

Trip Circuit Monitoring (TCSSCBR1/2, TCM): Monitor 2 sets of trip coil circuits, and lock the monitoring function when the circuit breaker is opened;

Circuit breaker status monitoring (SSCBR1, CBCM): Based on current and contact status, the mechanical characteristics of the circuit breaker are determined, and an alarm is triggered when there is an abnormality.

Communication and Networking

（1） Protocol support

Protocol type, functional scope, physical interface

IEC 61850 monitoring, control, parameter configuration, disturbance record upload (COMTRADE format), GOOSE message (trip level delay ≤ 3ms) Ethernet (RJ-45100BASE-TX)

IEC 60870-5-103 Protection signal upload, telemetry and remote signaling RS-485 or Ethernet

Modbus RTU/ASCII third-party device interconnection (such as PLC, SCADA) RS-485 or RS-232

DNP3 telemetry, remote signaling, remote control, supporting TCP/IP or serial Ethernet or RS-485

（2） Precautions for Communication Networking

GOOSE application: supports the highest performance level (transmission delay ≤ 3ms), meets the tripping requirements of distribution substations, and can simultaneously send events to 5 clients;

Client limitation: A single IED can support up to 5 concurrent clients. After PCM600 occupies 1, the remaining 4 can be allocated to other protocol clients;

Time synchronization: Line differential protection requires remote station time reference synchronization, which is recommended to be implemented through IEC 61850 or SNTP.

Product basic positioning and core applications

PPU-3 is a compact microprocessor control unit launched by DEIF, which integrates the protection and control functions of synchronous/asynchronous generators in an “integrated” design. It has a built-in galvanized separated three-phase measurement circuit and is designed for ship application scenarios. It supports two core working modes (which can be combined):

Stand alone operation: independent power supply control for a single generator;

Parallel with other generators: Multiple generators are synchronized in parallel to achieve load distribution and coordinated control.

Its core value lies in simplifying the generator control chain, which can be connected to the PLC control system through digital/analog I/O or serial communication, and has flexible functional expansion capabilities.

When adjusting the illumination area (sample measurement port size) of the target mask CM-A310/A314 according to the sample, CM-A310 (SAV) has a measurement area of 1 × 3mm and an illumination area of 5 × 7mm. CM-A310 (SAV) must be used for zero calibration or white calibration of CM-A314 (USAV) with a measurement area of 1 × 3mm and an illumination area of 3 × 5mm. When installing, pay attention to the direction and avoid scratching the inner white coating surface. When not in use, place it in the accessory storage space

The AC adapter AC-A312F (ATS036T-A120) is connected to a power socket through an AC cable to supply power to the device. It has an input of 100-240V, 50-60Hz, maximum 1A, and an output of 12V 3A. The plug is the center positive pole, and this standard adapter must be used. When connecting, ensure that the plug is fully inserted to avoid short circuits and overloads, and do not wrap or cover it during use

USB cable IF-A48 (3m) is used to ensure correct direction and secure connection when connecting devices and computers. When plugging or unplugging, hold the plug and do not pull the cable to ensure sufficient cable length and avoid tension causing connection failure or cable breakage
