Integrated Production Control System

CENTUM VP

Software Suite

The CENTUM VP's simple and common architecture covers not only continuous control and batch control but also manufacturing operations management. The Operational Excellence Software Suite operates on Windows PCs that are directly connected to the Vnet/IP network. Single-source, seamless integration eliminates redundant engineering between control system and Operational Excellence Software Suite engineering.

Plant Information Management

All plant information such as process and batch data, and alarms and events are handled by Exaquantum plant information management system.

Integration of the operation information

CENTUM VP’s unified gateway station (UGS) integrates operation data and alarms from other subsystems including PLC systems and displays them in a unified way. Their operation windows have the same CENTUM VP look & feel, making the overall system much easier to operate. The UGS also establishes a link with the STARDOM network-based control system for applications where facilities may be scattered over a very wide area such as in oil and gas fields.
