Yokogawa releases enhanced version of ProSafe(R)

Yokogawa Electric Corporation has announced it will be releasing an enhanced version of the ProSafe(R)-RS safety instrumented system (SIS) on November 27. This new version, R4.01, features an exciting expansion of Yokogawa’s lineup of I/O devices and introduces crucial new SIS components. In addition, the FieldMate(TM) Validator software has been enhanced to work with this latest version of ProSafe-RS.

Development background

In the oil, natural gas, petrochemical, iron & steel, and other energy and basic materials industries, accident prevention and protection of the environment are paramount concerns in plant operations. Accordingly, there is a growing demand for SISs that can detect abnormal conditions and safely initiate emergency shutdowns.

To keep pace with the ever evolving business and technology landscape and respond to customers’ needs for solutions that will deliver maximum return on assets and minimise total cost of ownership, Yokogawa has continued to strengthen the functions of the ProSafe-RS SIS. With R4.01, plant operators can be assured of an optimum engineering environment that spans the entire plant lifecycle, from plant design and the engineering and installation of systems and devices to the start-up of production, maintenance, and renovation.
