Windows XP Compatibility

The first in the world, Yokogawa's DCS adopted Windows XP as the operating system.

Yokogawa is taking an initiative role in the world by adopting Windows XP as DCS operating system. Thus Windows XP Professional becomes plat form for DCS engineering, as well as for operation and monitoring. By introducing the new features of Windows XP, represented by remote desktop technology, into DCS, we can provide new solutions to our customers.

Continue Support for Windows 2000

Not only the Windows XP but also Windows 2000 can be used as the operating system for CS3000 R3.03. Moreover, a CS3000 R3.03 project can have the stations with both Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating environments.

Solution with the latest Windows XP technology (Remote Desktop)

What is Remote Desktop? Remote desktop technology enables a remote client to logon the operation console through a network. Thus a user can monitor and operate the console (desktop) on his PC in the distant place.
Application 1 to DCS In order to check the operation situation of a plant in an office, the operation screen of HIS in the control room can be displayed on a personal computer in the office. Moreover, operation can also be performed on the PC. On the contrary, the management data in the office PC can also be accessed from the HIS in the control room.	Application to DCS of a remote desktop function
Application 2 to DCS In addition to access the remote desktop via the company internal LAN (Intranet), Internet can also be routed for the access. For example, when a trouble occurs in a plant of a remote business area, the situation of a plant can be checked through the remote desktop in the head office and the counter solution can be made immediately. Moreover, a small-scale reengineering can be preformed remotely through the network without sending an engineer to the spot. Furthermore, with the remote desktop capability, the operation and monitoring from a hand terminal though wireless LAN becomes possible.
