Increased integration for process control system

Yokogawa announces the release of Centum VP R4.02, an enhanced version of the company’s flagship integrated production control sys tem, whi ch offers enhanced information visibility, a more intuitive operator interface, improved consolidated alarm management, a new Foundation fieldbus engineering function, and linkage with the ProSafe-RS Safety Instrumented System (SIS).

Additionally, alarm engineering to define operations such as monitoring and notification can be performed in the same engineering environment used to configure operations such as control and monitoring. This linkage of the engineering for the alarm, control, and monitoring functions also aims to improve efficiency.

For the fieldbus function, data can be automatically checked after configuration changes are made to Foundation fieldbus compatible sensors and final control elements such as valves. With the recent release of version R2.03.00 of the Yokogawa ProSafe-RS SIS, it is also now possible to operate and monitor this system and the Centum VP production control system through the same HMI, to improve safety and efficiency.
