Yokogawa enhances ProSafe-RS

Yokogawa Electric Corporation is releasing an enhanced version of the ProSafe-RS Safety Instrumented System, ProSafe-RS R2.01.00.

This new version is integrated with Yokogawa's latest production control system, CENTUMVP, and offers improved security and support for Windows Vista.

These enhancements strike the optimum balance between improved operational efficiency and safety.

There is a growing emphasis on operational safety in the energy and basic materials industries such as oil, natural gas, petrochemical, and iron and steel that is driven by the need to provide a safe workplace, protect the environment, and be a responsible corporate citizen.

To achieve both operational efficiency and safety, the distributed control systems (DCSs) that are necessary for stable plant operations and the safety instrumented systems that are relied on to perform emergency shutdowns need to be finely integrated.

To meet these needs, Yokogawa released the ProSafe-RS Safety Instrumented System, and has continued to strengthen its functions to work in conjunction with the CENTUM series.

The operation and monitoring screen of CENTUM VP features an ergonomic universal design and an advanced, intuitive operational environment for improved visibility of information and enhanced operability.

Through the integration of ProSafe-RS with CENTUM VP, operation and monitoring can be performed in an advanced operational environment.

ProSafe-RS R2.01.00 enhances the security of PC components and keeps plants secure by restricting communications, controlling access to folders and the registry, and preventing unauthorised access from outside.

Vista ProSafe-RS R2.01.00 is the first major safety instrumentation system to support the latest operating system from Microsoft Corporation, Windows Vista.

It runs on the latest OS with the latest software.
