- 4. True Integration of Production Excellence, Safety Excellence and Asset Excellence CENTUM VP achieves the Operational Excellence that is the focus of Yokogawa’s Production Excellence, Safety Excellence and Asset Excellence initiatives. It offers integrated viewing and data handling functions. For example, alarms from the ProSafe-RS Safety Instrumented System and Plant Resource Manager, Yokogawa’s Asset Management product, can be seen and handled seamlessly in the Human Interface Station (HIS). Easy to operate with clear visibility Dedicated Operation Keyboard Software Suites Consolidated Alarm Management Plant Asset Management System message banner Yokogawa offers an intuitive and easy-to-understand HMI environment for plant operation and monitoring, which is the result of vast experience with CENTUM systems in operation. Flexibility in displaying operation windows and monitors helps in adapting to various aspects of operation needs. CENTUM VP provides easy-to understand graphics based on the ergonomics and knowledge engineering. For instance, data displays are provided with high visibility that enables intuitive awareness of the situation. The use of colors considers the best contrast and environments of the central control room and the configuration of the displays integrates the knowhow of experienced operators. With all these functions, CENTUM VP enables operators to make quick and accurate decisions during operations and contributes to improve operation efficiency. Consolidated Alarm Management Software (CAMS) helps customers avoid safety and environmental incidents that can be caused by alarm flooding. It also enables customers to improve operational efficiency under normal conditions, freeing operators from having to perform tedious repetitive tasks and allowing them to focus on true process concerns. CAMS supports Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) for alarm management based on the latest EEMUA #191 alarm management guideline. It provides additional useful tools such as graphical historical data analysis and automatic alarm reduction. Sequence of event management functions are also included. With PRM (Plant Resource Manager) and intelligent field devices, operators and maintenance personnel can monitor the condition of plant assets remotely. Plant Resource Manager's diagnostic functions detect early signs of performance deterioration such as valve sticking and impulse line blocking. By helping curtail excessive preventive maintenance and enabling higher level predictive and proactive maintenance, Plant Resource Manager opens the way to asset predictability. Optimized allocations of the function keys and 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 the ability to react quickly to process conditions. Continuously displays the latest alarm messages, keeping operators up to date on process conditions.

- 5. Control network I/O network I/O network Yokogawa’s CENTUM series achieves high availability thanks to a dual-redundant design, online maintenance capability, and other advanced features. The 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 the stand-by module and the FCS continues running. Failed modules can be replaced online, ensuring that not even a hardware failure will interfere with plant operation. Ensuring the Highest Availability and Reliability The CENTUM series employs a pair & spare architecture that improves the stability of process control. Each processor module has redundant CPUs that execute the same computations simultaneously. Their outputs are constantly compared and a bump-less switchover to the stand-by processor module is initiated if any anomalies caused by electronic noise or other phenomena are detected. This minimizes the likelihood that CPU hardware faults will have any impact on process control. The HIS runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems platforms and offers customers the convenience of using commercial-off-the-shelf hardware. Although the reliability of a PC is relatively low, it does not affect the total reliability of the process operator function. As the HIS is not server-client dependent, multiple HISs provide independent backup such that there is no single point of failure. Through an online maintenance function, FCS applications can be modified without shutting down the FCSs. It means, you can change logics and parameters without interrupting the process control. This is useful for expansion or modification of the plant in operation. Yokogawa has a long history of delivering stable and high quality CENTUM systems. The CENTUM VP controller features outstanding processing performance and a large application storage capacity, yet inherits the same quality and stability that are the hallmark of the CENTUM series. It has been optimized to take full advantage of advances in field digital technology that will help plants operate with increased efficiency and stability. The state-of-the-art Field Control Station (FCS) Designed for Stable Control Online Maintenance The CENTUM VP provides functional blocks for monitoring, control, manipulations, calculations, logic functions, and sequences. Not only continuous control but also advanced control, complicated sequence control, and batch control are all executed in a redundant, secure, and reliable controller environment. Plant systems can be flexibly designed, ranging from small-to-large-scale, through the combination of these control blocks. Yokogawa's Vnet/IP provides open, reliable, and real-time broadband communications, which enables the use of commercial off-the-shelf technology that help reduce costs. The open c o m m u n i c a t i o n d o e s n o t a f f e c t p r o c e s s c o n t r o l d a t a communications nor does it impact the performance and security aspect of the control communications.

- 6. Yokogawa accelerates plant startup and Ensures sustainable performance The Automation Design Suite - Improving Quality, Reducing Complexity and Enhancing Productivity Yokogawa paves way for a new engineering paradigm for the next-generation. It is not uncommon for a project to experience backsliding and significant rework, all of which affects the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Yokogawa's engineering prevents these inefficiencies and ensures our customers reap all these benefits throughout a plant’s lifecycle. Yokogawa provides smart engineering thanks to three innovative products. ● Automation Design Suite, Yokogawa’s engineering environment ● N-IO (The Network I/O), Yokogawa’s software configurable smart I/O ● FieldMate Validator, Yokogawa’s commissioning tool for N-IO The 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. After the DCS is sent to a site, design changes often happen due to physical restrictions of implementation or inadvertent miscalculations and these changes can significantly affect the project schedule. And shortening the term of a project is an everpresent challenge. Flexible I/O binding, Yokogawa’s improved late I/O binding solution, helps overcome these customer challenges. The Automation Design Suite, Yokogawa's new engineering environment, retains the entire engineering history of your plant from design phase, through commissioning and live operation; which ensures up-to-date plant knowledge with every expansion, or hardware and software change throughout your lifecycle. The flexible I/O binding facilitates simple and hassle-free I/O binding. This is made possible by software marshaling 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 remotely which significantly absorbs the impact of last-minute I/O changes. Furthermore, the 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. Flexible I/O Binding – ensuring project execution excellence Reducing the Risks to Scheduled Project Delivery The flexible I/O binding shortens duration of a project. After I/O design is fixed, application engineering and hardware engineering can progress independently and parallel. This is made possible by System Independent Loop Commissioning. System Independent Loop Commissioning project capability utilizes Yokogawa's FieldMate Validator, an innovative tool allowing the field testing and validation of N-IO without requiring a deployed system. Early Start-up Module Based Engineering The Automation Design Suite is more than the ‘As built’ specification of your plant… It provides dynamic management of design, investment and project effectiveness by auditing and versioning engineering changes, and facilitating effective engineering through ModPacks (Modification Packages).
