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. Efficient Engineering Environment： Automation Design Suite enables users eliminate redundant work, increase engineeringefficiency using flexibility of Standardized Modular engineering, maintain data integrity andenable 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 embeddedConsolidated Alarm Management System prevents information overload for operatorsallowing deliver safe, high performance, efficient plant operations for customer satisfaction. Pragmatic Lifecycle Management Programs： 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 Field Commissioning Support Package allow significantly faster project completion to reduce costs without quality compromise. Operation CENTUM VP offers in Operations, Safety and Asset Management Solutions through optimized data management presented using cognitive visual integration for operators. For example, CENTUM VP Human Interface Station (HIS) offers integrated alarm visualization from DCS, Safety Instrumented System (ProSafe-RS) and Yokogawa Plant Resource Manager (PRM) Asset Management System that facilitates seamless operations across multiple control systems. CENTUM VP HMI for Simplified Operations Through Visual Cognition： 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 colors 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. System Message Banner： Latest alarm message display for operators up to date information on process conditions. Browser Bar： Contains navigation tools for the operator’s convenience, frequently used icons can be grouped in a My Favorites folder. Window History： Lists previous operational displays for operators to call up previously used graphics windows. AOG Solution (Advanced Operating Graphics)： AOG is a consulting service to help design PCS (Process Control System) graphics based on human fac tors and knowledge engineering. AOG provides intuitive situation awareness through ergonomic design, looking at factors such as color selection, layout, and visual function. Cer tified consultants conduct a task analysis of plant operations and the result is reflected in the graphics design. The GUIs can enhance safety and productivity by early detection of abnormal situations, quicker decision making, reduction of errors, less-stressed operators, and translating operator skills into explicit knowledge. Dedicated Operation Keyboard: Optimally allocated function keys, buttons enable operators to call up or switch graphics and control loops by pressing a single key. Two types, a single-loop and an eight loop simultaneous operation keyboards are provided giving users ability to react quickly to process conditions. Virtualization: Virtualization separates system software operations from physical hardware dependencies, allows software reusability to optimally commission system hardware. This translates to customer’s business centric benefits like smooth migration to new physical hardware with reduced downtime, shorter migration process and system tests time. From maintenance perspective, segregation of hardware and software maintainability are other significant advantages. Engineering Yokogawa paves way for a new engineering paradigm for the next-generation plant personnel to reduce the risks to scheduled project deliver and ensure sustainable performance. Project execution often experience backslide that may involve significant rework, having adverse impact on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Yokogawa’s engineering prevents these inefficiencies and ensures customers reap all these benefits throughout the project lifecycle. Flexible I/O Binding – Ensuring Project Execution Excellence： After the DCS is delivered to a site, design changes often occur due to physical restrictions of implementation or unavoidable miscalculations. These changes significantly affect the project schedule. Reduction of project execution time is a pressing challenge. Flexible I/O binding, Yokogawa’s improved late I/O binding solution helps overcome these customer challenges. Reducing the Risks to Scheduled Project Delivery: The flexible I/O binding facilitates simple and convenient I/O binding. This is made possible by software marshalling and the N-IO’s universal channels. The type of I/O and the interconnection between the I/O module and the controller can be modified from remote locations which significantly reduces impact of last-minute I/O changes. Moreover, flexible I/O binding achieves early delivery of I/O cabinets to the site, and problems can be found and fixed on-site at a very early stage. Early Start-up: Flexible I/O binding reduces project duration. After I/O design is fixed, application and hardware engineering can progress concurrently using System Independent Loop Commissioning using Yokogawa’s Field Commissioning Support Package, an innovative tool for field testing and validation of N-IO without requiring a deployed system. Automation Design Suite – Improve Quality, Reduce Complexity, Enhance Productivity: Yokogawa’s state of the art engineering environment Automation Design Suite, retains plant engineering history throughout the lifecycle from design – commissioning-operation; ensuring up-to-date plant knowledge with every expansion, hardware and software change and peace of mind to plant managers. Module Based Engineering: Yokogawa Automation Design Suite adopts a modular approach to automation design and execution, where process loops, alarm design philosophy, graphics and more are deployed as design patterns: downloaded, shared and re-used as standards across the enterprise, saving time and resources. Yokogawa leverages its long history and vast expertise in process automation, with standardized, industry proven engineering modules available that span a broad range of processes and functions for production, safety and asset excellence. Management of Change and Resources: The Automation Design Suite is more than the ‘As built’ specification of process plant… It provides dynamic management of design, investment and project effectiveness by audit, version based engineering changes. This facilitates effective engineering through ModPacks (Modification Packages) to maintain project schedules by reducing the delays and the engineering impact of late design changes or scope changes. Automation Design Suite also auto-documents and checks inconsistencies in project activity and software resources, removing the pain from project management, and significantly reducing project risk.
