CENTUM VP system Introduction

CENTUM VP is an integrated production control system that manages and controls the operation of plants in a wide variety of industries, including petroleum refineries, chemical, steel, food,power, and so forth. 

This manual (System Overview (HMI Overview)) provides a simple overview of the HIS (Human Interface Station) of CENTUM VP HMI (Human Machine Interface). Before reading this manual,first read the separate System Overview (General Overview) manual to understand the overview of the CENTUM VP, and then read this manual. After that, proceed to detailed material, such as General Specifications.

Process Input / Output Module

N-IO (Network I/O)

Net work I /O (N-IO) enables a single I/O module to handle AI, AO, DI, and DO signals. For each I/O point signal type is software configurable through appropriate adapter, this prevents delay in the plant installation caused by the change. Adapters serve as signal converters support a wide variety of signal types, offering choice to customer depending on the application. N-IO eliminates need of conventional marshalling saves installation space, reduces project costs. N-IO module can also be used as a remote I/O module by installing it as a remote junction box in the field.

FIO (Field Network I/O)

A variety of Field Network I/O (FIO) modules are available for each process signal type. The FIO modules can be

connected to field devices via a pressure clamp terminal block, dedicated terminal board, or a MIL cable. FIO is the appropriate I/O choice for creating a configuration using a terminal block.

N-IO Field Enclosure

N-IO f ield enclosure is a standard remote cabinet delivered with optimally designed auxiliary equipment including power supply.

RIO System Upgrade I/O

Other available I /O modules include a Remote I /O (RIO) module for I/O signals and an I/O module for RIO system upgrade to upgrade the system in a short time by maximizing existing assets.
