Connectivity

Connections to higher-level systems and subsystems are an important consideration in the distributed control system (DCS) migration process. The CENTUM CS 3000 supports a variety of interfaces (e.g. OPC, Profibus-DP, FOUNDATION fieldbus™, HART) in its standard configuration. With proprietary interfaces and interfaces that are no longer standard (e.g. GP-IB and BSC), junction/conversion equipment is required. Yokogawa works with you to provide an optimal system configuration and integration service, taking your system migration requirements and interface standardization trends into full consideration.

Operator Training

It is desirable for operators to get used to operating the new system before the system migration. CENTUM CS 3000 provides an advanced virtual test function for that purpose. This not only makes it possible to virtually operate the system via an HMI, it also tests the control logic before the new system begins to operate. The quality of user-defined applications/logic can also be improved with this function. For instance, the logic for an abnormal situation can be tested easily using the virtual test function.
