ProSafe-RS controllers
With an eye on the capital-intensive oil, natural gas, and petrochemical markets, this instrument maker has added optical remote control to its ProSafe-RS controllers. This new feature enables closer integration with the company’s Centum CS3000 R3 production control system. Typically, an instrument panel room and safety controller are installed in each process to monitor and operate safety field devices, such as emergency shutdown valves. ProSafe-RS’s optical remote-control function allows the instrument panel rooms and safety controller to be installed in a single location, for remote monitoring and operation. Safety field devices can be operated from the CS3000 R3 terminals. It is also possible to connect the ProSafe-RS system via HART communications with Yokogawa’s Plant Resource Manager software, an asset management system that integrates and manages maintenance information from field instruments.

MV1000/MV2000 portable paperless recorders
The MV1000/MV2000 portable paperless recorders have large-capacity memories and offer many more input channels than conventional models (MV100/MV200). The MV1000 features a 24-channel input and the MV2000 has a 48-channel input. The recorders accept many types of inputs, including up to 18 kinds of thermocouples and 12 kinds of resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). Insulation allows the recorders to withstand up to 1,000 V. They each feature 200 MB of memory, which lasts for about 75 days of continuous 12-channel measurement usage, handling data storage at 1-s intervals. Data can be stored in external storage media, such as a CF card or USB memory. Setup is intuitive, fast and easy, and removable input terminals simplify wiring.

ProSafe-RS version R2.01.00
ProSafe-RS version R2.01.00 offers improved security and smoothly integrates with the manufacturer’s Centum VP production control system. This distributed control system helps to achieve stable and efficient plant operations, which is important for performing controlled emergency shutdowns. ProSafe-RS restricts communications by controlling access to folders and the registry, preventing unauthorized access to the system. It is rated as meeting Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) requirements. It is suitable for use in the oil, natural gas, petrochemical and other process industries that use systems for emergency plant shutdown, fire prevention and fighting, and burner management.
