=============================

In this video, we’re going to introduce you to a very popular Distributed Control System, the Yokogawa DCS Centum VP.

By definition, a DCS is a computerized control system with multiple autonomous controllers that operate and control many control loops. A DCS has no centralized supervisory control, and thus the name Distributed Control.

Field devices are connected to I/O modules located in cabinets alongside Controllers. The controllers are networked using many communication protocols such as Ethernet, Modbus, or a proprietary protocol.

There are Operator stations HMI’s located in a centralized control room, or some may be located elsewhere. The Operator stations provide access to plant operators to observe and adjust real-time plant conditions.

An Engineering station HMI is located in an area only accessible for actual control logic programming changes for any of the many control loops.

Yokogawa is a Japanese industrial company that started with the manufacture and sales of electric meters in 1915.

Yokogawa introduced its first CENTUM DCS in 1975. Centum V and Centum-XL followed in the 1980s. CENTUM CS and CS 3000 were introduced in the 1990s.

The CENTUM CS 3000 line continued in the 2000s which was also the decade where the ProSafe-RS SIS was introduced.

The 2010’s decade introduced us to CENTUM VP. The current version is Release 6 which was introduced in 2014.

Yokogawa refers to an HMI as a HIS (Human Interface Station). A HIS is mainly used for Operations, but additional stations can also be configured for Engineering.

The Field Control Station (FCS) provides the actual plant process control. All process information is placed on the control network called Vnet/IP.

All CENTUM devices are connected to the Vnet/IP network.

If required, an SIS called ProSafe-RS is also installed and connected to the Vnet/IP network.

The unified gateway station (UGS) acts as an interface, allowing CENTUM VP to communicate with a variety of network-based subsystems such as Modbus RTUs, Modbus/TCP units, EtherNet/IP units, and others.

Network switching is performed by layer switches. For example, L2SW is a layer 2 switch. Vnet/IP transmission media can be fiber optic or Unshielded Twisted Pair cables. Vnet/IP operates at a communication speed of 1 Gbps.

An L3SW switch is used for communicating between the two domains. Each domain can have 64 stations.

A Field Control Station (FCS) contains the Power Supply, Controller, and Field I/O modules (FIO).

The I/O Modules include Analog, Digital, and Communication Modules. For example, the Analog Module AAI143 is a 4 to 20mA, 16 channel Isolated module.

Optical node interface units (NIU) can be connected via communication modules in the Field control Unit (FCU) and do not require a switch.

The Node Interface Unit will also be connected to I/O modules or what we call NIO which stands for Network Input/Output.

ProSafe-RS is a safety instrumented system (SIS) conforming to Safety Integrity Level SIL3 as defined by IEC 61508.

It is so rated with a single controller, single input, and single output module.

All components of the ProSafe-RS system are a bright orange color.

The Plant Resource Manager (PRM) is the Asset Manager software package. PRM allows the use of diagnostic capabilities of smart devices like those with HART or Profibus communication.
A unique 64 function USB keyboard is available for the CENTUM VP system.

The Automation Design Suite is Yokogawa’s engineering software. Plant graphics are easily created for Operator HIS terminals.

We use DeltaV, and Yokogawa centum vp, from my experience Yokogawa the best DCS 👌, easy to configure and very easy to use by the operators and Engineers...the 3D faceplates are very handy for tuning and troubleshooting

[SidhanthM]

I'm a working with yokogawa. Glad to be here

[joetan]

this video exist just in time, im gonna join Yokogawa electric which contribute in DCS system, this video help me a lot

[schamberlain]

I trained at Sugarland TX for this controller.

[ajp]

EXCELLENT. I AM SEARCHING FOR MORE VIDEOS ON FURTHER TRAINING FOR SAME SYSTEM.

[farzadfani]

Hi thanks for your great training videos please make video course about yokogawa. I I work in Iran's petrochemical and gas industry
Yokogawa dcs system is widely used in Iran's oil and gas and petrochemical industry. Please post a training course on Yokogawa dcs system on the site.

[abdulmaliksardar]

Great! Would love to see a video on Emerson DeltaV.

[gollalappahadpad]

Excellent Naration clear Spontaneous Teaching 🙏🌹

[milan_clips]

Excellent video ! Please keep bringing more such.

[NiepoprawnyKomentator]

Maybe sth about Emerson Ovation DCS or Emerson DeltaV DCS :)

[jannatulshifa]

sir plaese tell me which configuration laptop use better for plc

[restorationofusedthings]

Can you explain about Yokogawa fast tool connection configuration for Siemens s7-1200

[NDV-egie]

Could you make a video about install Centum VP software, licence...? Thank you so much.

[hassan]

How to link PLC with the DCS
By program the centum VP using system view

[nasirahemad]

Request you to please make a video on Server-client configuration and their concept in process automation.
like Honeywell system is based on server-client configuration whereas Yokogawa system is domain base.

[MrSherazrana]

what is difference between cail mode and over ride

[eixamaixam]

hello admin apps realpars cannot be used on Android I have already downloaded the APK app when I open the app line error .. I am from Malaysia

[PROTAGONIST_Z]

Thanks for the great video guys, really informative
Can you make a video on Honeywell epks dcs ?

[megamanwins]

Do you offer online full course for YOKOGAWA DCS from scratch to Pro?

[royfamily]

Thank you very much, I like this videos
