And shortening the term of a project is an ever-present challenge. Flexible I/O binding, Yokogawa’s improved late I/O binding solution, helps overcome these customer challenges. Reducing the Risks to Scheduled Project Delivery The flexible I/O binding facilitates simple and hassle-free I/O binding. This is made possible by software marshaling and the N-IO’s universal channels. The type of I/O and the interconnection between the I/O module and the controller can be modified remotely which significantly absorbs the impact of last-minute I/O changes. Furthermore, the flexible I/O binding achieves early delivery of I/O cabinets to the site, and problems can be found and fixed on-site at a very early stage.
Early Start-up The flexible I/O binding shortens duration of a project. After I/O design is fixed, application engineering and hardware engineering can progress independently and parallel. This is made possible by System Independent Loop Commissioning. System Independent Loop Commissioning project capability utilizes Yokogawa's FieldMate Validator, an innovative tool allowing the field testing and validation of N-IO without requiring a deployed system.
The Automation Design Suite The Automation Design Suite, Yokogawa's new engineering environment, retains the entire engineering history of your plant from design phase, through commissioning and live operation; which ensures up-to-date plant knowledge with every expansion, or hardware and software change throughout your lifecycle. Module Based Engineering The Automation Design Suite adopts a Modular approach to automation design and execution, where process loops, alarm design philosophy, graphics and more are deployed as design patterns: downloaded, shared and re-used as standards across the enterprise, saving time and resources. Yokogawa leverages its long history and vast expertise in process automation, with standardized, industry proven engineering modules available that span a broad range of processes and functions for production, safety and asset excellence. Management of Change and Resources The Automation Design Suite is more than the ‘As built’ specification of your plant It provides dynamic management of design, investment and project effectiveness by auditing and versioning engineering changes, and facilitating effective engineering through ModPacks (Modification Packages).
This serves to maintain project schedules by reducing the delays and the engineering impact of late design changes or scope changes. The Automation Design Suite also auto-documents and checks inconsistencies in project activity and software resources, removing the pain from project management, and significantly reducing project risk. Field Digital Yokogawa realized the potential of field networks in a production control system early on and designed its systems with field networks in mind. CENTUM VP supports FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, HART, PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, Modbus, Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP and ISA100.11a wireless. The CENTUM VP integratedly controls and monitors these field devices from various vendors with various communication protocols. Yokogawa's Fieldbus Related Products Applying Fieldbus in Plant Control System The engineering for fieldbus function blocks can be performed in the same way as for other function blocks in FCS.
The operation and monitoring environment is also the same for the fieldbus function blocks and other FCS function blocks. No additional requirements for engineering, operation and monitoring of the fieldbus applications in Yokogawa DCS. The most favorable merit for applying fieldbus is highly efficient maintenance of field devices. Yokogawa offers an asset management software package, Plant Resource Manager (PRM), for device management and diagnosis.
With PRM, the advantage of fieldbus can be optimized so as to make the maintenance of the whole system more efficient. Plant Resource Manager (PRM) The maintenance information of devices are collected by PRM via fieldbuses and stored in the PRM database. The corresponding maintenance schedules, maintenance procedures and spare parts information are also stored accordingly in the same database. The maintenance of the field devices can be performed through fieldbus. Thus the maintenance engineers are considerably relieved from going to the fields of the devices in the remote areas and hazardous areas.
Audit Trail Audit trail management is important in both control and maintenance systems. All maintenance works on devices, which are maintained by PRM, are recorded and stored, and can be easily retrieved too. Predictive Maintenance By integrated management of device management information, the replacement cycle of devices and trend of device troubles can be predicted. This technique minimizes the impact of device problems on plant operation, and maintenance work and parts procurement can also be planned and scheduled. Solutions to Non-Fieldbus Devices PRM can create a database for legacy devices in addition to Fieldbus devices. Maintenance information is recorded and managed in a database for integrated, overall planned maintenance of all devices in the plant. DD and CF Download The FOUNDATION™ fieldbus device files in this section are categorized according to whether the devices have undergone Host Interoperability Support Testing (HIST).
HIST is an invaluable tool in determining whether a specific fieldbus device is interoperable with a host system. About HIST at Yokogawa. FOUNDATION™ fieldbus laboratory is established in Yokogawa Singapore. Yokogawa is running the HIST program according to the FOUNDATION™ fieldbus specifications.
