However the final control element in most of the cases is pneumatically operated control valves.
Hence an I/P converter (Current to Pneumatic signal converter) is used to convert the 4-20mA current
signal to 3-15psi or 0.2 to 1 kg pressure signal which is used to operate the control valve.

Set Point
In an analog control system, the process parameters are measured by the transmitter. The
transmitter generates 4 to 20 mA current signal corresponding to 0 to 100% of the process parameter
measured. This signal is converted to 1 to 5V DC and given as input signal to the operational amplifier.
The desired set point is also given to the operational amplifier. The operational amplifier calculates
the output based on the input and the set point. The 4 20 mA current output is given to an I/P
converter and then to the final control element.

In a digital control system, the process parameters are measured by the transmitter. The transmitter
generates 4 to 20 mA current signal corresponding to 0 to 100% of the process parameter measured.
This signal is converted by signal converter into a voltage signal. Analog to Digital Converters are
used to convert this analog signal to digital signal. This digital signal is given to the microprocessor
for processing. Digital Control system uses microprocessors to do the control function.
Digital control systems are preferred over analog control systems since it is easy to interface with
computers for data analysis.

In a Centralized Control System, all the field inputs PV1 to PVn are fed to a single CPU, the relevant set
points SV1 to SVn are also given to the same CPU and all the outputs MV1 to MVn are also taken from
the same CPU. Hence if the CPU fails, the whole plant gets affected.

1.4.3 Distributed Control System
DCS is distributed control and centralized monitoring system. In a Distributed Control System, the
control function is distributed, but the monitoring is still centralized. All the n field inputs are not fed to
a single CPU. Instead they are distributed among multiple CPUs. In DCS terminology, CPUs are
referred as Field Control Stations (FCS).

Let us consider that there are n parameters from the field to be monitored and controlled in a plant.
The signal distribution is done as shown in the figure.
Control function is distributed among multiple CPUs (Field Control Stations). Hence failure of
one FCS does not affect the entire plant.
Generation and modifications of the interlocks are very flexible and simple.

1.5.1 Yokogawas Contribution
Yokogawa were the pioneers in introducing the first Distributed Control System to the world. Centum
was the first Distributed Control System introduced by Yokogawa in the year 1975. Yokogawa
continued its research in the DCS field and introduced many systems in line with the technological
development.
The latest DCS from the Yokogawa fold is the CENTUM VP system.

A potential free contact is taken from the equipment under operation in the field to indicate whether
the equipment is running or not. In case of valve, contact is taken from limit switches to indicate
whether the valve is open or close in the field at any point of time. These signals are wired as contact
inputs to the system. When the digital input process value is 1, it indicates that physically the contact
connected to the Digital Input card is closed in the field.
When the digital input process value is 0, it indicates that physically the contact connected to the

Common switches
Global switches
Switches are used to store intermediate variables in the interlocks. Switches are used for applications
like Auto / Manual selection, pump selection, speed selection, bypass selection etc..
Common switches are internal switches used by various control functions to save the shared logical
values in an FCS. The logical value of a common switch is not directly output to an external FCS, but
are used by various control functions in an FCS for condition testing and status manipulation.
The System Code for Common switches is: %SWxxxxSddss
%SWxxxx - Switch number (0001 - 4000)
dd - Domain number
ss - Station number
Common switches with element number %SW0001 to %SW0400 are fixed as system switches.
Common switches with element number %SW0401 to %SW4000 may be freely defined by users.
69
The defined value is broadcasted to each station in the system via control bus scan transmission when
data transfer to other stations is defined at Scan Transmission Definition on the FCS Constants
Builder.
The values of global switches are updated at the same time mostly on all stations in the system. The
values are updated by 100 msec, which is fixed. With this function, status information can be
transferred from one station to the control function of another station with very little delay.

When MV =0, DO is OFF, the output relay is de-energized. The equipment connected to the relay is

TREND BLOCK
The type of trend data acquisition and sampling period are specified for each trend block in the
builder. Of the 50 trend blocks, 26 blocks can be defined as the trend format of Continuous-Rotary
Type, Batch-Stop Type or Batch-Rotary Type.
The remaining 24 trend blocks can be defined as the reference of the trend data acquired by other HIS.

Continuous-Rotary Type
In this type, the trend data are acquired constantly.
After the HIS is started, the data acquisition is started automatically and continued until the HIS is
shutdown. The acquired data will be retained even if the HIS is shutdown.
After the maximum number of samples is reached, the data acquisition continues by overwriting the
oldest data with new data.
Batch-Stop Type
Using this type, trend data acquisition starts and stops according to the received commands. If no
stop command is received, the data acquisition will stop automatically after acquiring the maximum
number of samples.
Batch-Rotary Type
Using this type, trend data acquisition starts and stops according to the received commands. Once
started, the data acquisition continues until a stop command is received. If the maximum number of
samples is reached before receiving a stop command, older data are overwritten with new data.

CAMS for HIS permits alarm and event messages like system alarm messages, process alarm
messages, operation guide messages to be centrally managed.
The Historical Viewer of CAMS for HIS displays the past A&E messages and operation records of
operators on the window for the historical data list, that CAMS for HIS keeps. All the alarms can be
centrally managed from this window.
CAMS consolidates associated alarms into an alarm group. The user can define the conditions for
grouping alarms. CAMS also suppresses unnecessary alarms. It temporarily moves (shelves) alarms
of lower priorities to other location, in order to facilitate the recognition of more important alarms in
the Alarm and Event Browser pane.
