IMMFP12 Processor module

Description

The IMMFP12 Multi-Function Processor Module is a powerful
stand-alone controller for use in complex control applications.
It has the processing speeds and storage capabilities necessary
for advanced control applications. The IMMFP12 module is a
user-configurable device that receives process input and output through a variety of analog and digital I/O modules.
IMMFP12 module functions and how to install, configure,
operate, and troubleshoot the module
The IMMFP12 Multi-Function Processor Module (MFP) is one of
the workhorses of the INFI 90® OPEN control module line. It is
a multiple loop analog, sequential, batch and advanced controller that provides powerful solutions to process control
problems. It also handles data acquisition and information
processing requirements providing true peer-to-peer communications. The comprehensive set of function codes supported
by this module handles even the most complex control strategies. The INFI 90 OPEN system uses a variety of analog and
digital I/O modules to communicate with and control the process. The MFP module communicates with a maximum of 64
modules in any combination (refer to Figure 1-1).
The MFP module has three operating modes: execute, configure
and error. In the execute mode, the MFP module executes control algorithms while constantly checking itself for errors. When
an error is found, the front panel LEDs display an error code
corresponding to the type of error found. In the configure mode,
it is possible to edit existing or add new control algorithms. In
this mode, the MFP module does not execute control algorithms.
If the MFP module finds an error while in execute mode, it automatically goes into error mode. Refer to the Section 4 of this
instruction for operating mode details.
A one megabaud CPU to CPU communication link allows the
MFP module to accommodate redundant processors. This link
enables a backup MFP module to wait in a hot standby mode
while the primary MFP module executes the control algorithms.
If the primary MFP module goes off-line for any reason, a
bumpless transfer of control to the backup MFP module occurs.
