CENTUM CS 3000 R3 Integrated Production Control System

Yokogawa released CENTUM CS 3000 R3 in 1998 as the first Windows-based production control system under our brand. For over 10 years of continuous developments and enhancements, CENTUM CS 3000 R3 is equipped with functions to make it a matured system. With over 7600 systems sold worldwide, it is a field-proven system with 99.99999% of availability.

CENTUM CS 3000 R3 features an open architecture, flexibility, and compatibility with existing systems. It can be seamlessly connected with the previous CENTUM systems, as well as it is easily upgraded into CENTUM VP system which was released in 2008.

Yokogawa guarantees the long-term support and supply of CENTUM CS 3000 R3 systems so that our customers will enjoy the optimized use of the asset.

CENTUM CS 3000 can be applied from a small to large scale production control systems. Since it was released in 1998, we kept adding and enhancing its functions continuously. CENTUM CS 3000 has established an absolute integrity with Yokogawa's ProSafe-RS safety instrumented systems released in February 2005, contributing to the plant safety.

Human Interface Station (HIS)

HIS is a human machine interface for CENTUM CS 3000 R3 and it is available in enclosed display style, open display style, and desktop style.

Engineering Station (ENG)

Engineering station is a PC with engineering capabilities used for system configuration and system maintenance.

Field Control Station (FCS)

Field control station is the control unit for plant process control. Varying with the application capacities and application usages, there are several types of field control stations in the lineup.

Safety Control Station (SCS)

Safety control station is a controller of the ProSafe-RS TÜV SIL3 certified safety instrumented system and it can be configured on the same network with CENTUM CS 3000 enabling HIS to monitor status of ProSafe-RS.

I/O Modules

Varieties of Fieldnetwork I/O (FIO) are available in compact sizes to convert process signals for FCS formats. The FIO first appeared in the market in 2001 and kept enhancing its functions and adding its varieties ever since. The same technology is inherited to CENTUM VP, the latest Yokogawa DCS. Remote I/O are for remote input and output that passes the field signals to FCS control unit via remote buses.

Bus converter (BCV)

Bus converters are required if a system contains multiple domains or contains the legacy CENTUM project.

System Integration OPC Station (SIOS)

SIOS serves as a gateway for connecting CENTUM CS 3000 R3 system and the OPC server to the third-party PCS. It exchanges data, and acquires alarms and events through the OPC server.

Control Network (Vnet/IP)

A real-time control network for linking the stations such as FCS, HIS, and BCV. Click Vnet/IP for more information.

Field Digital Network

CENTUM CS 3000 R3 supports field digital protocols such as FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, HART, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, Modbus, Modbus/TCP, EtherNet/IP and ISA100 wireless

Yokogawa controllers are designed for controlling and monitoring industrial plants which must keep running non-stop in stabilized status with high reliabilities.

Field Control Station (FCS)

A cabinet type and a rack-mount type of FCS are available from Yokogawa. Both Vnet/IP and V net control networks can be used for configuring the system networks. The dual-redundant design of the FCS processor modules, power supply, I/O modules, and I/O networks achieve high availability of 99.99999%. The pair & spare architecture is unique to Yokogawa that improves the stability of process control.

Process I/O Modules

Fieldnetwork I/O (FIO) 
Yokogawa offers compact, cost-effective, and reliable I/O devices, targeted as the industrial standard.

Subsystem Integration

In order to operate and monitor the subsystems of the auxiliary devices controlled by programmable logic controller (PLC), various types of analyzers and other instruments for the integrated plant automation, FCS subsystem communication capability enables connection with the subsystems, and also supports dual-redundant configuration.

The subsystems include Mitsubishi MELSEC, Allen Bradley PLC-5 and SLC500, Modbus compatible devices, Siemens SIMATIC, Omron SYSMAC, Yokogawa FA-M3, Darwin, and DAQSTATION and so on.

Achilles Level 1+ Robustness against Cyber Attack

Yokogawa has received Achilles Level 1 + certification for various Vnet/IP controllers.

What is Achilles Certification?
Achilles Certification Program is to provide a benchmark for the deployment of secure industrial devices. It is designed to assess the network robustness of industrial devices and certify that they meet a comprehensive set of requirements and conformance.

Human Interface Station (HIS)

Operators access production control system via CENTUM CS 3000's human interface station (HIS) to make fast and intelligent decisions that maximize performance and minimize risks.

Based on the ergonomic design concept, the HIS can be selectable from desk top, open display style console, and enclosed display style console types. Multiple monitors can be set, and each one of the monitor displays multiple operation windows.

Dedicated Operation Keyboard

The operation keyboard is unique to Yokogawa. It consists of alphanumeric keys and special operation keys which are assembled with the dustproof and drip-proof flat keys. By assigning graphics to each button, operators can call up a graphic by one touch.

One-second data refresh on windows

The data displayed on HIS are collected in the manner of event driven, i.e., HIS starts to collect the data only when the corresponding window is called up. Thus only the dynamic data in the currently displayed windows need to be refreshed. The load of HIS for data sampling is reduced and the one-second refresh rate for the dynamic data on the windows is guaranteed.

Multiple Monitor Support

The HIS supports the use of multiple monitors, meaning that more windows can be displayed at the same time and enabling process variations and even alarms to be handled more promptly. This ability to display increased amounts of data at the operator console improves operation efficiency. CENTUM CS 3000 R3 supports up to four monitors which can be stacked vertically or positioned side by side and a mouse can move over those four screens. A large-size monitor can also be used.

Operation Windows

Inheriting the same operation window designs from the legacy CENTUM systems, operators may feel familiar to the CENTUM CS 3000 operation windows from the first day they start using the system.

Screen Modes

The Multiple-window mode like an office PC and the Full-screen mode like the legacy operator console are available for operation and monitoring environment.

Open Interface

The process control industry standard open interface OPC (OLE for Process Control, or open productivity & connectivity) is provided for collecting the process data, trend data and messages.

Access Control

To prevent operation errors and other problems and ensure the safety of the system, such as prohibiting operations by unauthorized persons, limiting the ranges of operation and monitoring, and restricting operator actions to the system, extensive security functions are applied.
