Yokogawa CS1000 Project Export

P

Thread Starter

Peter Blyth

I need to be able to extract configuration data from a CS1000 project - the project files are all x.edf format - not readable in notepad, and no obvious structure in hex viewers. The Centum CS files were easy to read & update - but CS1000 looks like a step backwards.

Does anyone have tools either home grown or Yokogawa issue to assist this? Documentation on the edf file type?

Ideally, an export - and if possible a reimport back to edf/CS1000 of modified files.

All help gratefully accepted. Thanks in advance -

Hi Peter
We met a couple of years ago at the Yokogawa user's conference in Surfer's Paradise. I was one of the few using CS1000 at the time.
Sadly I have moved on and I am now doing PLC/SCADA work instead of DCS stuff.

While using the CS1000 I did a fair bit of work with the OPC interface which is available as an option for the HIS (PC user interface).

You can get the complete tag list and every data item associated with each tag from each FCS using the OPC browser function. I wrote a VBA application within Microsoft Access to do this.

I can give you a copy of the application if you like.

Jamie.
