Home Vol 10 Issue 1  News  Contents  Products  Safety  Datafiles Next News       Newsdesk - February 2004 Yokogawa upgrades flagship control system Centum CS3000 R3.04, the latest version of Yokogawa's flagship CENTUM CS3000 distributed control system, offers greatly enhanced functionality with the inclusion of a new compact controller that enables the system to accommodate a wider range of applications, including small-scale plants. The new FFCS compact controller for small- and medium-scale plants is only 20% of the size of a conventional controller, but has the same reliable architecture, control functions and fully redundant configuration as the controllers used for larger plants. The Centum CS3000 R3.04 also offers enhanced Fieldbus capabilities. It supports Profibus DP-V1: the standard now being adopted for discrete manufacturing processes. The system's Foundation Fieldbus capability is also improved, giving smaller systems the ability to use functions - integrated operation and monitoring environments and full redundancy, for example - that are normally only found on large systems.
