Overview
From 2nd to 6th of October 2017, a 5day instructor led course combining theory and hands-on tutorials. Participants
learn how to: identify core components in a CENTUM VP system, create a project database and regulatory control
functions, modify and enhance control functions, automate functions with sequence control and build and modify
Human Interface Station configuration and graphic displays. This report belongs to Instrument and Operation Section.

Topics Covered
To empower participants to perform generation of Centum VP regulatory and sequence control functions, as well as
Human Interface Station, instructor drives us to learn the following topics.

Day-1
Centum VP overview.
VP hardware description.
Project creation and attribution utility.
Project common definition.
Exercise: Project creation, and project common definition.
Day-2
FCS configuration.
I/O module configuration.

Day-3
Regulatory control function.
Sequence control function.
Exercise: sequence and logic control function generation.
Exercise: FCS creation, I/O module, cascade loop.
Day-4
HIS configuration.
Window configuration.
Exercise: HIS configuration and HIS windows generation.
Day-5

DAY-1
Centum VP consists of four components which are operation and monitoring functions (HIS), engineering functions
(EWS), control functions (FCS) and a network communication system(Vnet/IP).
1. Human Interface Station (HIS) CENTUM VP uses a PC for its human machine interface. It is called HIS when
the software packages for control and monitoring functions are installed there. The desktop type and a
console type with assembled displays are selectable.
2. Engineering Work Station (EWS) is a PC used for system configuration and maintenance. A single PC can be
used for both HIS and ENG functions. The engineering functions can be realized by applying the engineering
related software.

3. Field Control Station (FCS) FCS is a high reliability controller designed and manufactured by Yokogawa. It
performs control computation functions for each function block and input/output functions for process and
software inputs/outputs. FCS hardware can be selectable from a cabinet type or a rack-mountable type. It
consists of a field control unit (FCU) and node units to mount input/output modules. It enables to configure a
scalable system by connecting several node units in a FCS in accordance with the I/O points.

4. Vnet/IP is a plant network based on 1-Gbps Ethernet which connects the devices that make up the Centum
VP system.

DAY-2
In order to make a project we need to open system view and create a project. It will show three primary subfolders
as we see below:

Figure 4. Project Folder

Focus on this session was FCS0101 subfolder. Every single FCS has I/O module to connect to field instrument. Hence
we need to define type of I/O module, Node, and Slot at IOM folder.

Picture 5. Create I/O Module

Double click to IOM had been created and filled label column of the terminal we used.

Go to Control Drawing Builder in Function Block subfolder and connected PVI to PIO with label had been declared in
IOM Builder.

Perform function test to simulate it.

DAY-3
In this session we learnt two function block control which were Sequence Table (ST16) and Logic Chart (LC64). ST16
control mechanism declares directly I/O condition (similar to Cause Effect Table) sequentially or simultaneously,
while LC64 need logic gate to reach its purpose conditions.

DAY-4
Move to HIS folder. In HIS folder we were dealing with Trend, Control Group, Overview, and Graphic Builder, yet
Graphic Builder put in last training day.
Click subfolder Window and click TR000x to register Tag names we want to see. Call TG0x0y if we registered our tag
in group y.

Figure 8. Trend window

If we want to make control graphic or overview, right-click on window and create new window. Select window type
box control 8-loop or overview. Make sure our tagname are registered.

DAY-5
Last part of this training was made our own HMI by Graphic Builder. First create new window and select Graphic on
window type box. Drag instrument in stencil or use pen.
