Yokogawa DCS and CENTUM VP Explained for Operators and Engineers
At HKXYTECH, we often get questions from engineers and plant operators about Distributed Control Systems (DCS). If you’re new to Industrial Automation or want to refresh your knowledge, let’s talk about one of the most popular systems out there: the Yokogawa DCS, especially the Yokogawa CENTUM VP. We’ll share how it works, its key components, and why it’s trusted in so many plants. What is a Yokogawa DCS?
