Integrated Production Control System Batch Control The clear path to operational excellence

Integrated Production Control System A Wealth of solutions for Batch Process The CENTUM VP Distributed Control System provides scalable and powerful solutions for continuous, batch and hybrid applications. VP Batch is the ISA-88 (IEC-61512) batch control package for CENTUM VP, which provides recipe management, process management and unit supervision functionality. The CENTUM VP is unique in performing unit supervision functions in completely redundant real-time controllers that are inherited from the field proven CENTUM CS 3000 systems offering an availability of 99.99999 percent, or “seven-9s.”...

Scalable and Reliable System Architecture Batch processes often require complex, modular and advanced resource management regardless of the scale. This is, especially true when multiple products require flexible combinations of equipment modules, units, lines and trains. CENTUM VP provides solutions for batch control irrespective of process scale. Your Challenge Your Challenge Seamlessly handle all processes, ranging from 100 I/O points to over 30,000 I/O points, with a single system. Seamlessly integrate multiple vendors’ systems to create a unified batch control system. Yokogawa’s Solution...

Modular Engineering Yokogawa’s wealth of batch control experience is evident in the VP Batch package, which is based on the ISA-88 batch control standard. This modular, hierarchical package supports reusable components and libraries for easy engineering. Configurations can also be tested by simulating field control stations in a PC. B Your Challenge Structured Programming Reduce the engineering cost of controlling frequently changing processes and products. Recipe Procedure Preparation Yokogawa’s Solution Hierarchically structured logic allows intuitive engineering. Hierarchically structured...

Powerful and Advanced Unit Supervision Traditionally, operation and monitoring have been performed individually for each piece of equipment, but centralized supervision of unit instruments can greatly simplify plant operations. A state transition matrix is built into unit instruments enabling each unit to have a unique set of states, commands and state transitions. The CENTUM VP provides a fully integrated operation and monitoring environment that allows operation and monitoring to be tailored to equipment configurations. A batch process typically consists of multiple pieces of equipment (e.g.,...

Easy Operation The control of batch processes often involves many manual operations such as manual additions, starting/stopping equipment and activities operators must perform on the production floor. Often it is difficult to coordinate automatic control system activities and manual operator activities. The CENTUM VP offers a simple, clear operating and monitoring scheme with hierarchical display windows, interactive guidance for on-site operations, and many other features to make life easier for operators. Your Challenge Your Challenge Allow the operators to intuitively grasp the statuses of...

Electronic Batch Records Control systems produce large amounts of operational results that are vital for making business decisions concerning productivity, quality, and safety improvements. Exaquantum/Batch, a Batch Plant Information Management system (Batch PIMS), automatically saves all VP Batch batch history information to an open, ISA-88 based, relational database. It features functions to automatically log the manufacturing results of process management and unit supervision, consumption of raw materials, alarms occurring in manufacturing, and many more, all of which can easily be displayed....

Intelligent Solution Suites VP Batch and Exaquantum/Batch provide the basis for a plant and enterprise-wide integrated information system configured to meet the specific requirements of the batch processing industries. Based upon the ISA-95 Enterprise-Control System Integration standard Yokogawa can provide integrated Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) that involve simple integration of Yokogawa or other manufacturers' products, up to fully integrated solutions consisting of intelligent field instruments, automated batch control integrating manual operations, recipe management, production...
