Centum CS 3000 R3.04 is the latest version of the vendor’s flagship Centum CS 3000 R3 integrated production control system. R3.04 includes the new FFCS compact controller, which enables control of a wider range of applications, including small-scale plants.
This contrasts with earlier versions of Centum CS 3000 RS, which were aimed mainly at medium- to large-scale process plants in the oil and chemical industries. The FFCS retains the same reliable architecture, control functions and fully redundant configuration as controllers used by large plants, says the vendor, but is only 20 percent of the size of a conventional controller. Other enhanced features of R3.04 include support for Profibus DP-V1, commonly used in discrete manufacturing processes, as well as improved support for Foundation Fieldbus. A subsystem gateway station has also been developed that employs OLE for Process Control (OPC), an industry standard interface, which improves connectivity with electrical facilities, machining equipment and other subsystems.
