Enhanced control system

New from Yokogawa Electric Corporation is Centum VP R4.02, an enhanced version of its integrated production control system.

This version 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). These enhancements are claimed to result in greater stability, reliability, and productivity.

Functions include the ability of alarm engineering to define operations such as monitoring and notification in the same engineering environment used to configure operations such as control and monitoring. This linking of the alarm, control, and monitoring functions improves efficiency.

Applications include the monitoring and automatic control of plant and manufacturing equipment in manufacturing and processing industries.
