Migration of Legacy Systems

Migration Solution

To generate the maximum return with the minimum investment, Yokogawa is providing solutions for migrating the legacy CENTUM V, CENTUM-XL and μXL DCS systems into the new production plant control systems with the latest technology so as to take part in the competition of the 21st century.

The need for evolution

Yokogawa is proud of the operation and control track record of CENTUM V, CENTUM-XL and μXL, but their network functionality is not sufficient for 21st-century control systems. Adding network capability to your system produces the following benefits

-By linking to supervisory information system, dynamic adjustment of operations to meet
market demands
-Productivity improvement by linking to Advanced Process Control (APC)
-Improvement of operational efficiency by linking to Advanced Operation Assistance (AOA)

Utilization of Existing Assets

Yokogawa offers a phased migration plan for CENTUM. This phased migration utilizes your existing hardware, software and operation know-how to best effect. The field wiring need not be changed. Control station cabinets can be reused. And application software is also used in the most effective way.
