Reliability and Security

This unification of controller types and the development of a common I/O system are realized by using hardware as a common platform and installing software conformed to each control type within this hardware. Reliability and security are provided by improved design quality, common hardware, and software optimization.

Environmental Harmony

The controller that is acceptable to the global environment was created using lead-free solder and electronic parts obtained through “green procurement.” A ranked control with high-speed processing and high functionality assists with global-environment “manufacturing.”

Type2 Light DCS Controller

Small-to-Middle Scale Distributed Control System (DCS)

For more than thirty-five years, DCS products of Toshiba have been engineered for process automation systems of power generation, water & wastewater, oil & gas, iron making, mining, chemical, paper & paper mill, and cement.

System requirements for conventional DCS include high reliability, availability, advanced control performance, and capacity. While a large-scale DCS can manage a few thousand loops per controller, startup costs can add up due to the complex redundant architecture used to reduce the risk of centralized control and operation. The global process automation market demands DCS products that are easier to introduce and have improved cost performance in addition to the conventional DCS requirements. One practical solution is introducing a properly scaled DCS into each functional plant unit as needed. This reduces the risk of centralized control and operation at a reasonable cost. Toshiba developed the Unified Controller nV Series Type2 Light small-to-middle scale DCS in 2015 to meet growing demand in the process automation market. The Type2 Light manages up to 1,000 tag objects, including up to 128 control loops, while maintaining functions inherited from Toshiba’s large-scale DCS.

High-Cost Performance DCS: Type2 Light 

Reduces the number of processors and power consumption by half, compared to Toshiba’s previous DCS, the V-series L2. Furthermore, it supports existing intelligent serial I/O and user application programs, so cost-effective migration to Type2 light can be done.

Multivendor & High-Speed Remote I/O: TC-net I/O

 It comprises a 100 Mps loop network without a centralized hub, direct I/O, and multivendor network I/O. Modbus, FL-net, Profibus-DP, and HART devices can be connected.

C&I Engineer-Oriented Programming: nV-Tool

 Supports IEC61131-3 standard, user programming & online monitoring by using custom symbols of field sensors & devices, and instrument balloons.

 Integrated HMI for Small-to-Middle Scale: OIS-DS/Smart

 Holds the functions of OIS-DS and supports new DCS, Type2 Light, to supervise the monitor & operation of up to 4096 tag objects in a small-to-middle scale system, using up to 8 displays.
