Yokogawa Electric Corporation has added an optical remote control function to the ProSafe-RS, enabling integration of the instrument panel rooms and safety systems in large plants. Compatibility with Yokogawa's Centum CS3000 R3 Integrated Production Control System is also improved for greater usability.
The new function enables ProSafe-RS controllers and I/O modules to be connected via optical fibre. The instrument panel room and safety controller can be installed at one location in a plant for remote monitoring and operation rather than in separate processes.
The ProSafe-RS can be connected with the Centum CS3000 R3 via Vnet/IP, one of the latest control networks, and via HART communications with the Plant Resource Manager software used to manage the information of field devices throughout a plant, thereby optimising device management and maintenance.
A third party has certified that the ProSafe-RS complies with the IEC61508 *1 international safety standard and is approved for applications up to safety integrity level (SIL) 3 *2.
