BU33J01A10-01EN Yokogawa

The CENTUM VP Distributed Control System (DCS) is Yokogawa's most advanced, integrated process control system, providing enhanced productivity and optimization across a wide range of industries. For over forty years, the CENTUM DCS family has evolved to meet and exceed the needs of businesses and will continue to do so as they reinvent themselves through digital transformations and incorporate new technologies such as IoT far into the future.

Customer Centric Values

CENTUM VP is a reliable built for safe performance control system that is scalable, flexible, powerful and easy to use.

Efficient Engineering Environment

Automation Design Suite enables users eliminate redundant work, increase engineering efficiency using flexibility of Standardized Modular engineering, maintain data integrity and enable change management through smart engineering. The reduced workflow translates to sustainable, efficient project execution to realize business value

Intuitive Unified Plant Operations

Operator centric interface for control, safety, asset intelligence integrated with embedded Consolidated Alarm Management System prevents information overload for operators allowing deliver safe, high performance, efficient plant operations for customer satisfaction.

Pragmatic Lifecycle Management Programmes

Yokogawa provide online upgrades, patches, migration, security solutions as lifecycle services. These services involve comprehensive customer collaboration ensuring sustainable return on investment for control system assets. These services are applicable across plant lifecycle.

Improved Project Execution and Reduced Cost

N-IO (Network I/O), the next-generation software configurable smart I/O reduces footprint, lowers marshalling costs and allows flexible I/O binding. N-IO matched with the FieldMate Validator commissioning tool allow significantly faster project completion to reduce costs without quality compromise.

Operation

Yokogawa's rich experience in process industry with CENTUM is applied to develop an intuitive, human centric designed HMI environment for plant operations. Flexible windows with multi monitor approach offer an adaptable visual platform for diverse plant operator requirements. GUI designed using on human ergonomics makes CENTUM VP HMI environment easy for users. High visibility for data displays, use of colours considering ambient lighting, optimized contrast for visibility. Display configuration combine knowledge from operator experience deliver optimized data on HMI screens. Powerful HMI environment empower operators take timely correct for operation efficiency.

Control

Yokogawa's CENTUM series achieves continuous availability with reliability through a dual redundant design, online maintenance capability features. FCS processor module, power supply, I/O   modules, and I/O networks are all dual redundant. Active and stand-by processor modules work in synchronization: even if a failure occurs, control switches over seamlessly to stand-by module facilitates uninterrupted FCS availability. Failed modules can be replaced online, ensuring that even a hardware failure will not interrupt plant operation.

N-IO (Network I/O)

Network I/O (N-IO) enables a single I/O module to handle AI, AO, DI, and DO signals. For each I/O point sigal type is software configurable through appropriate adapter, this prevents delay in the plant installation caused by the change. Adapters serve as signal converters support a wide variety of signal types, offering choice to customer depending on the application. N-IO eliminates need of conventional marshalling saves installation space, reduces project costs. N-IO module can also be used as a remote I/O module by installing it as a remote junction box in the field.

N-IO Field Enclosure

N-IO field enclosure is a standard remote cabinet delivered with optimally designed auxiliary equipment including power supply.

n FIO (Field Network I/O)

A variety of Field Network I/O (FIO) modules are available for each process signal type. The FIO modules can be connected to field devices via a pressure clamp terminal block, dedicated terminal board, or a MIL cable. FIO is the appropriate I/O choice for creating a configuration using a terminal block.

RIO System Upgrade I/O

Other available I/O modules include a Remote I/O (RIO) module for I/O signals and an I/O module for RIO system upgrade to upgrade the system in a short time by maximizing existing assets.

 Toward Long-term Stable Operation of the Control System Yokogawa provides long-term support and sustainability services to ensure the control systems maintain their high level of functionality over the lifecycle of the system and the facility. Yokogawa's lifecycle plans for its control systems provide the lowest cost of ownership for its customers. 

 Solutions to Achieve a Sustainable Plant Yokogawa continuously provides control systems and helps customers maintain and improve the performance of their plants, with the aim to achieve long-term stable operation of the control systems in the plants of customers, as well as meet customers’ needs and ensure adaptation to the surrounding environment.

 Security We are in a new age of controlling security risks. The spread of malware and a rise in increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks are causing even more serious damage. The threat of cyber-security risks extends beyond information technology systems and into control systems. The use of information technology systems has advanced control systems and helped reduce costs and provide more functions. However, we now need to tackle the associated security risks. n Robust Cyber Security CENTUM VP field control unit has obtained the ISASecure® Embedded Device Security Assurance (EDSA) certification from the ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI).  The certification was obtained through a process of examination by the CSSC (Control System Security Centre) Certification Laboratory. It certifies that CENTUM VP software is equipped with the relevant cyber security features to be used in the industries such as oil, petrochemical, power and many others. CENTUM VP provides secure configuration for Windows PC/Server. CENTUM VP systems uses Vnet/IP network equipped with built-in features to deal with various security threats such as spoofing, falsification and DoS attacks. n Endpoint Security Service Yokogawa provides an effective security service in response to the customer's requests and operational conditions. USB Port Lock Service, Security Information Service, etc. are available. The Anti-virus software and the white listing software for CENTUM VP are provided by Yokogawa. Yokogawa verifies the combined operation of the Yokogawa products, antivirus software, and the Microsoft Security Updates.   n Obtaining Security Certification CENTUM VP pioneered to obtain the ISA Secure Embedded Device Security Assurance (EDSA) certification that assures security robustness in Japan in 2014. 

 Migration Not satisfied with another vendor's control systems? Consider migrating it to CENTUM VP. We have successfully migrated over 350 non-Yokogawa systems so far and the number is steadily growing. To name a few: Bailey INFI90, Foxboro I/A, Emerson RS3/PROVOX/DeltaV, Eurotherm, Hartman & Brown ContronicP, Hitachi, Honeywell TDC2000/TDC3000/PKS, Siemens SIMATIC, Taylor MODCELL, Toshiba, Allen-Bradley PLC. 

 Upgrading HIS FCS PKG Peripheral Upgrade procedure is simple and quick: FCS upgrade is just a mouse click away. All Yokogawa's legacy CENTUM systems can be controlled and monitored from a newer CENTUM system. Via a control network, CENTUM VP can control and monitor operation at a plant relying on CENTUM V, CENTUM-XL, CENTUM CS, or CENTUM CS 3000 system. CENTUM VP can also communicate with both N-IO and traditional FIO. Yokogawa will continue to sell and provide long-term support for both types of I/O. This allows Yokogawa customers to utilize their existing assets wherever possible, thus, Yokogawa offers a cost-effective way to upgrade End User production control systems.
