YOKOGAWA CENTUM VP Integrated Production Control System

Optimize parameter management by comparing design values with on-site actual values, supporting batch distribution and synchronization

（2） Control Function (FCS)

High reliability design: The processor, power supply, I/O module, and network are fully redundant, and the Pair&Spare architecture enables seamless fault switching;

Flexible control capability: supports adjustable control, advanced control, complex sequential control, and batch control, adapting to different scale requirements through functional block combinations;

Unit monitoring: defining multiple devices as a single unit for unified operation, simplifying batch and continuous process management;

Online maintenance: supports engineering data modification and module replacement without interrupting process control.

（3） Human Computer Interface Function (HIS)

Integrated operation: Integrate CENTUM VP control data, ProSafe RS security alerts, and PRM asset data to achieve seamless management;

Compliant design: Complies with EEMUA 191 alarm system design standards to reduce the risk of alarm storms;

Flexible display: Supports multi monitor deployment, with operation windows that can be moved across screens to adapt to different monitoring scenarios.

（4） Openness and Interoperability

Global HIST Network: Set up testing sites in Japan, the Netherlands, the United States, and Singapore to verify interoperability with non Yokogawa equipment;

High speed open network: Vnet/IP supports 1Gbps transmission and is compatible with TCP/IP, ensuring real-time data updates for large-scale projects;

Standard interface support: Implement information flow, advanced control, and alarm management with external systems through OPC servers.

Full lifecycle support

（1） Project Phase

Accurate cost estimation: FCS load can be calculated during the design phase, and label authorization is only divided into three levels: 8000 points (small), 100000 points (medium and large), and 1000000 points (multi factory interconnection), reducing change costs;

Virtual testing function: Control and operation functions can be tested without hardware, accelerating project progress and supporting the establishment of Operator Training System (OTS).

（2） Operation and Upgrade Phase

Convenient upgrade: PC based sites can be upgraded with just one click, and FCS can upgrade new features as needed without the need for mandatory updates;

Smooth migration: supports the migration of old CENTUM systems (such as CS3000, uXL) to third-party DCS, and can reuse assets such as on-site cables and I/O modules;

RIO system upgrade: The RIO system of CENTUM CS/CS3000/VP can be upgraded to the latest FCS (A2FV70 ) without changing the field equipment interface.
