SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The Multi-Function Controller Module (IMMFC05) is a versatile
and powerful member of the INFI 90 Controller Family. It is
designed primarily to execute user designed analog and digital
control strategies. The IMMFC05 is a direct functional replace-
ment for the Network 90 NMFC05. Refer to Figure 1-1 for an
application example.
INTENDED USER
This manual is a guide for the system engineer or technician
who configures, operates or maintains the MFC in a system. It
explains the start-up and service. Follow the steps in this man-
ual closely to maintain and use the MFC properly.

INTRODUCTION
MFC DESCRIPTION
1 - 2 I-E96-213A
®
MFC DESCRIPTION
The IMMFC05 is a multi-layered printed circuit board. On
board is a CMOS 68000 microprocessor (12 MHz speed),
EPROM, RAM, and NVM (battery backed nonvolatile memory),
VLSI and advanced CMOS support circuitry. The board is
attached to a faceplate. Visible through the faceplate is a group
of eight LEDs and a Status LED. The eight LEDs display mod-
ule operation and error codes; the Status LED indicates the
operating state.
The IMMFC05 occupies one slot in the Module Mounting Unit
(MMU) of the INFI 90 cabinet. Each MMU can hold a total of 12
single width INFI 90 modules. The MMU backplane provides
module power, Module Bus (module to module communica-
tion), and Slave Expander Bus (slave module to MFC
communication).
FEATURES
The module's main purpose is process I/O interfacing and con-
trol strategy execution. In addition, the following features are
available.
Redundancy
An IMMFC05 configured the same as the primary provides
backup to the primary module. In a redundant setup, one
module is the primary. It performs computations, runs control
functions, etc. The other, the backup module, monitors
(tracks) the primary. The backup copies the primary control-
lers outputs, and waits in a hot standby mode. There is con-
stant communication between the primary and the backup
module. If the primary module should fail, the backup
assumes immediate control. Since the backup copied the pri-
mary's outputs, there is no break in control to the process.
Redundancy is enabled with switch SW4. Refer to Section 3
Table 3-2.
NOTE: Firmware revision levels must be the same in the primary
and redundant modules. If it is different and a failover occurs, the
redundant module may operate erratically.
On-Line Configuration
On-line configuration enables users with backup MFCs to
make configuration changes. On-line configuration changes do
not affect the primary module or interrupt the control process.
This happens by taking the backup MFC out of the tracking
mode, changing the desired functions and putting it back in
the tracking mode. When the new configuration in the backup
MFC starts up, it uses the present values of process outputs in

INTRODUCTION

I-E96-213A 1 - 3
the primary MFC. This feature permits bumpless transfer of
control to the new configuration. Section Section 4 explains the
steps for on-line configuration.
NOTE: There are constraints to what changes can be made. Refer
to
Backup Cycle
in Appendix A for more information.
Inputs/Outputs
Analog, digital, and slave modules handle the I/O function of
the MFC. Refer to the NOMENCLATURE entry in this Section.
Each MFC can support a total of 64 slaves. While high and low
power slaves can be mixed, no more than 20 high power slaves
can be used. For example, 20 high power and 44 low power
slaves can be used.

SECTION 2 - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
This section explains the functional blocks that make up the
MFC. It also describes data bus communications and security
functions of the hardware.
MODULE DESCRIPTION
The IMMFC05 is a series of functional blocks working together.
To help you understand how the MFC works, this section
shows the MFC as a block diagram and then explains each
block in the following text. See Figure 2-1.
Microprocessor
The microprocessor, which operates at 12 Megahertz, is
responsible for module operation and control. The processor's
operating system instructions and the function code library
reside in the read only memory (ROM). Since the processor is
responsible for total operation, it communicates with all func-
tional blocks. The processor also does one other critical task. It
constantly re-triggers the Machine Fault Timer (MFT) circuit. If
the processor or software fails and the MFT is not reset, the
MFT issues a board-wide reset and the Status LED turns red.
This condition is known as a fatal error.

Clock/Timer
The Clock section provides the clock signals to drive the mod-
ule at 12 Megahertz. Additionally, it supplies the lower fre-
quency clock signals for the module's system timer for uniform
control algorithm execution. All clocks originate from the 48
Megahertz oscillator on the module.
Memory
There are 128 kilobytes of ROM, 128 kilobytes of RAM and 64
kilobytes of battery-backed RAM. The ROM holds the operating
system instructions for the processor. The RAM provides tem-
porary storage and a copy of the user's configuration. The bat-
tery-backed RAM (BATRAM) holds the user's configuration
(control strategy designed with function codes). It is unique in
that it retains whatever information it has even when power is
lost. This is possible because of the backup batteries that keep
the memory active if power is lost.
Slave Expander Bus
The slave expander bus resides on the backplane of the module
mounting unit. It is an eight bit parallel bus that provides the
communication path for I/O data from slave modules. It can
support up to 64 low power slaves (both Network 90 and INFI
90). The bus uses Bailey Controls designed protocol to ensure
data integrity. The bus bandwidth is 500 kilobytes per second.
I/O Section
The I/O Section interface allows the processor to read the
switches that tell it how to operate and set its address. The I/O
section contains the latches whose outputs connect to the sta-
tus and error LEDs. An additional function contained in this
section is an output that shows that a master is operating as
the primary. Upon a failover, this output de-energizes and the
backup's output energizes as it takes over. The termination
unit or termination module uses this output to show the cur-
rent master.
Additionally, the I/O section monitors the Stop and Reset
pushbuttons. When you press the Stop pushbutton, this sec-
tion ensures that the module completes any I/O functions
before it brings the module to an orderly stop. When you press
the Reset pushbutton, the module restarts after the processor
and support circuitry is reset.

Module Bus
The module bus provides an 83.3 kilobaud peer-to-peer com-
munication link capable of supporting up to 32 drops. The
module bus interface is provided by a custom Bailey Controls
integrated circuit, that interfaces the MFC to the module bus.
Redundancy Link
The redundancy link is a 25 kilobit serial link between a pri-
mary and backup MFC in redundant configurations. As the
primary module executes, the backup module waits in hot
standby mode and receives a copy of all block outputs over this
link. If for any reason, the primary module fails, the backup
module takes over immediately without any process
interruption.
Station Link
Station link controls the serial communication between the
MFC and the panel stations. It has two modes of operation.
When used with the Control Station (IISAC01), it provides a 5
kilobaud serial channel for up to eight stations. This link con-
nects to the termination unit or termination module for control
stations via the NTMF01 or NIMF01 and the cable NKSE01.
COMMUNICATION
The IMMFC05 has four communication channels (module bus,
slave expander bus, Control Station Link, Redundancy Link).
Through the module bus, the MFC can communicate with
other control modules in its process control unit (PCU). The
slave expander bus is an 8 bit parallel bus located on the MMU
backplane. It provides the path for bidirectional communica-
tions with slave modules. This bus, through a 12 position dip-
shunt, can be broken to create separate busses for different
masters. The Control Station Link allows the MFC to commu-
nicate with a Control Station. The Redundancy Link allows
communication between a primary MFC and a backup MFC.
Data Transfer on Slave Expander Bus
Data transfer between the MFC and its slaves occurs on the
slave expander bus. The MFC can execute four types of data
transfer functions. They are: write a command to a slave,
request a slave status, write data to a slave, and read data from
a slave.
The MFC always initiates the data transfer operation. When a
data transaction occurs, the MFC addresses a slave, requests
the information, and reads or writes the data.
