Key Success Factors

Yokogawa is unmatched for our extreme commitment to asset reliability. At the heart of the Yokogawa systems is the unique "Pair and Spare" controller architecture, consisting of a redundant set of CPU modules, while each in turn contains two micro processors. These two continuously compare the output of the other, initiating a bump-less switchover if any mismatch is detected. Through this kind of reliability, Yokogawa CENTUM CS 3000 DCS has an availability of 99.99999% (seven 9s).

For the mission critical control system to secure dependable production control, field instruments must consistently deliver stable and accurate process measurement. Be it the DPharp fully digital silicon resonant pressure sensor, the robust box-in-box-design coriolis mass flow meter or the dual-frequency excitation technology magnetic flow meter, Yokogawa field instruments deliver stable process measurement under the severest of conditions. Simple structure and high performance are the design principles of Yokogawa instruments - built to last in the field.

As if an availability of seven 9’s wasn’t enough, Yokogawa CENTUM delivers additional real-time asset intelligence and integrated safety information. Operators can make better decisions to uphold the speed and quality of production while minimizing unplanned downtime and safeguarding your plant.     More about CENTUM
