CENTUM VP has a simple and common architecture consisting of human machine interfaces, field control stations, and a control network. It supports not only continuous and batch process control but also manufacturing operations management.

CENTUM VP Overview and Latest Release Information
Yokogawa released its CENTUM distributed control system (DCS) in 1975, a world first. CENTUM VP is the ninth generation in the CENTUM series. Known for their rugged performance, CENTUM systems set high standards for engineering and technology excellence while ensuring backwards compatibility with previous system versions and support of the latest technology applications. Knowledge-driven engineering lies at the heart of CENTUM, a Yokogawa flagship product that has been proudly serving the process industry, over the past 45+ years.

Yokogawa Releases CENTUM VP R6.10 (Nov. 2022)
Expands the functionality of CCC Inside™ for Yokogawa CENTUM VP
With this release, it is now possible for CCC control algorithms running on CENTUM VP to control steam turbines for compressor drive. This allows whole compressor system which contains steam turbine control to be monitored and controlled from the same human-machine interface (HMI) used for conventional process control.
Optimization through the integrated control of multiple compressor trains
Yokogawa has enabled the control of multiple compressor trains, of which many can be found in customers’ plants, by working with CCC to develop a function block for the integrated control of multiple compressor trains, and has realized overall optimized control through the distribution of the compressor load.
