Migration from ProSafe-PLC to ProSafe-RS

Yokogawa is now offering a service that will allow you to migrate from the well proven ProSafe-PLC platform to our latest safety instrumented system, ProSafe-RS. ProSafe-RS uses a faster CPU and is seamlessly integrated with the CENTUM DCS, greatly improving performance and eliminating the need for a dedicated DCS gateway. ProSafe-RS provides complete integration with the operation and monitoring functions of the CENTUM DCS.

Two migrations plans are available to suit your project needs:

Plan 1 (recommended)
This is a complete replacement of the entire ProSafe-PLC system, including control and I/O modules, terminal boards, and wiring, with all elements of the ProSafe-RS system. The compact terminal boards are a key element of this plan.

Plan 2
The ProSafe-PLC control and I/O modules are replaced with ProSafe-RS control and I/O modules. With this plan, the existing field wiring can be used because the modified system continues to use the ProSafe-PLC terminal boards. This plan is implemented with the migration adaptors and the related products.
 (Note: The end of support date for the ProSafe-PLC terminal boards is 2018.)
