We are expanding the capacity of our plant. We will be installing new vessels and colummns for this purpose. We have Yokogawa Centum CS DCS commissioned in 1999. We are thinking of considering Fieldbus for the new instruments
I would like to know if anyone has implemented fieldbus integration with Centum CS. What was the methodology adopted? What hardware would be required for it? We are considering a hazardous area, so what would be the maximum number of instruments that can be connected to on ACF11 card? Is it possible to get data from other non yokogawa system over RS232 for Yokogawa centum CS DCS. We considering only open loop applications for the while.
If anyone can give be a cost comparison of the field bus v/s conventional multiplexed hardware used in the Centum CS DCS, it will be great.
