Specifically with regard to maintenance, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus opens the way to proactive diagnostics and to virtually eliminating preventive maintenance and to avoiding shutdowns.In 2005, Yokogawa announced "VigilantPlant" as a concept to ward the realization of a type of plant operation that is considered ideal by our customers.Since entering commercial operation in 2000, the environmental control facilities at the Tachibanawan Thermal Power Station have been managed effectively by the CENTUM control system, achieving a stable electricity supply with minimal impact on the environment.The consolidation of control rooms was conducted in several refineries in the 1990s and early 2000s as a means of reducing the number of operators and improving the efficiency for enhancing competitiveness.
The greatest feature of the CENTUM CS 3000 is the use of Windows NT as the operating system of components for operation and monitoring, which thus achieves a truly open architecture by allowing the application of general-purpose personal computers for the human interface.The primary concern of Yokogawa has been to successively improve the DCSs of the CENTUM series, by making them more consistent, enhancing system reliability, long-term availability, and safety integrity. item['title'].substr(0, item['title'].indexOf('|')) : item['title']) + 'Drastic changes in the economy of manufacturing industries, has led to increasing demand for plant operations to reduce personnel, improve efficiency, and increase the operation rate of facilities. Internationally the ISA-88 standard is also known as IEC 61512 which is maintained by the IEC’s Sub-Committee 65A under Technical Committee 65. In 1997, Yokogawa introduced the CENTUM CS 1000 distributed control system for medium- and small-scale plants. The adoption of Windows NT as the operating system means that each HIS can run system generation functions and other general- purpose business applications such as Microsoft Excel as well as performing operation and monitoring functions.
Peace River Citrus Products has installed a Yokogawa CENTUM CS 1000 R3 control system to control a proprietary orange juice production process at its citrus processing plant.As a world's leading supplier of instruments and control systems for industrial process automation, Yokogawa has committed itself to the development of advanced solutions and products in three focused areas – measurement technologies, industrial automation and control, and information technologies.The innovation of wireless technology increases the use of wireless communication in the industry. With capital budgets tighter than ever, users instead focus on operational budgets (where cost cutting is also a key concern), or on automation investments with a very rapid return on investment.The power generation facility in a pulp and paper plant is comprised of units, each of which is composed of a boiler, a turbine, a generator, and auxiliary equipment, and these pieces of equipment were traditionally controlled on a unit/equipment basis. In addition to these, the CENTUM CS 3000's FCS supports communication with FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus.As with the CENTUM CS 1000, documentation is supplied in the form of electronic document files.Our distributed control system (DCS) enables automation and control of industrial processes and enhanced business performance.
