The minimum system configuration is composed of the following equipment:
SENG: 1 unit
SCS: 1 unit
Layer 2 switch: 2 units
SENG
BUS1 BUS2
BUS1 BUS2
SCS
Even in the minimum configuration of 1 unit of SCS and SENG each, one Layer 2 switch per bus
and therefore, two switches for two busses are required.
When SCS is in operation, the Layer 2 switches of BUS1 and BUS2 must not be powered down
at the same time. F01E.ai
*1: Number of nodes connected to Vnet/IP-Upstream must be decided after confirming the validity of communication load.

l Example of the Connection with Another System
ProSafe-RS can communicate with other systems through Modbus or DNP3 connections. The following functions are
available using an interference-free serial communication module or Ethernet communication module.
• Subsystem communication function
SCS can communicate as a master station when ProSafe-RS acts as a Modbus master.
• Modbus slave communication function
SCS can communicate as a slave station when the other system acts as a Modbus master.
• DNP3 slave function
SCS can communicate as a DNP3 slave station when the other system acts as a DNP3 master.
This function is available for SSC57 of R3.02.20 or later.

The subsystem communication, modbus slave communication and DNP3 slave functions can be executed
simultaneously; however, subsystem communication function and modbus slave communication function cannot
coexist on one serial communication module. Also, Modbus slave communication function and DNP3 slave function
cannot coexist on one Ethernet communication module.
For communication specifications, refer to “Safety Control Functions Package (GS 32Q03B10-31E)” and “ALR111/
ALR121 Serial Communication Module (GS 32Q06K50-31E)” or “ALE111 Ethernet Communication Module (GS

n NETWORK SPECIFICATIONS
The ProSafe-RS uses Vnet/IP-Upstream and Ethernet for communications among configured devices.
l Vnet/IP-Upstream
Vnet/IP-Upstream is a gigabit Ethernet-based control network, and provides real-time communication with high
reliability. Vnet/IP-Upstream is a dual-redundant control network, consisting of Bus 1 and Bus 2. Bus 1 is normally
used for control communication to transmit control data; however, when the Bus 1 fails, it automatically switches its
communication path and Bus 2 continues the control communication without stopping.
Following is an outline of network connection of ProSafe-RS system.

Control Communication
Communication method: Read/write communication, message communication, link transmission
Link transmission period: 100 ms
Transmission specifications
Network topology: Star topology
Transmission redundancy: Dual-redundant (for control network communication only)
Transmission cable: Unshielded twist-pair (UTP) with enhanced category 5 or superior
Communications between Instruments
Distance between the two arbitrary stations in a domain: Maximum 10000 km
One level (a pair) of media converters can be connected in between the instruments.
Connecting Vnet/IP-Upstream domains
Vnet/IP-Upstream domains are connected by layer 3 switches. Each redundant Vnet/IP-Upstream bus is connected
via each layer 3 switch to other domains.
Do not connect any two domains in a way that there exist more than one communication path.
Inter-SCS Safety Communication
SCS can perform inter-SCS safety communication with other SCSs in the same domain as well as in different
domains. The inter-SCS safety communication can be used to construct a safety loop up to SIL 3 (Safety Integrity
Levels) for multiple SCSs via the Vnet/IP-Upstream.

bi-directional communication is performed between the same SCSs, include its own SCS in the count.)

l Ethernet
Ethernet is a network used for file transfer and information communication among SENG and other general-purpose
Ethernet instruments. Ethernet communication is usually performed via an Ethernet card mounted a computer.
Communication Protocol
Based on IEEE802.3
l ESB Bus
ESB buses are I/O communication buses that connect the safety node units (I/O nodes) with the safety control unit
(CPU node) of the SCS.
The number of Connectable Units
Using SEC402 ESB bus coupler module, up to 13 I/O nodes can be connected to CPU node (SSC60). (*1)
SEC402 has two ports to connect ESB bus. Up to 9 I/O nodes can be connected to each of upper and
lower port. Up to 13 I/O nodes can be connected to SEC402 as a total of upper and lower ports.
Using SEC401 ESB bus coupler module, up to 9 I/O nodes can be connected to CPU node (SSC60/SSC50/
SSC57).
*1: To connect 10 or more I/O nodes, CFS1350 Node Expansion Package is required.
For details, refer to “Safety Control Functions Package (for SSC60), Node Expansion Package (for SSC60)” (GS
32Q03B10-31E).
*1: Length of ESB buses must be 10 m or shorter each from upper and lower port of SEC402.
