 The latest FCS (FFCS)
FCS stands for "field control station," a plant process control unit. The FCS hardware is manufactured by Yokogawa and features 99.99999% availability. When used in a duplexed configuration, switching to a stand-by unit is done automatically when an error is detected in the control module. This is done in milliseconds, ensuring that plant operations are not affected. In addition, the two processor modules each have two CPUs that constantly compare their calculation results. This unique "Pair & Spare" technology is a Yokogawa innovation.
With its high availability and reliability, FCS continues the CENTUM heritage.

This is an alarm management solution that is based on a consolidated alarm management concept, a world first. The consolidated alarm management system (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.
