 1. Overview of HIS for CENTUM VP 1-1

1. Overview of CENTUM VP HIS

In addition to the windows interface and easy operation of the CENTUM series, the
CENTUM VP human interface station (HIS) provides intuitive, easy-to-understand
operating and monitoring environments. Its diverse display patterns offer flexibility for
various phases of operations and improve operating efficiency. This HIS assists the
implementation of easy-to-understand graphic windows based on ergonomics and
knowledge engineering, thus contributing to fast, accurate decision-making by the
operator and improving operating efficiency.

F010001E.ai

Figure Example of HIS Window

1.1 Ergonomic Design Concept

The HIS for CENTUM VP adopts a new design concept Simple & Intuitive from the viewpoint
of ergonomics. Icons and information allocation based on the above design concept and the
use of a universal color design provide operators with comfortable operation and monitoring
environments causing fewer physical and mental burdens on operators.

1.2 Multiple Monitor Support

Multiple windows can be displayed together on one monitor. In addition, one HIS can support up
to four monitors and the display contents can be switched between monitors by a single button.

1.3 High-speed Data Update

Data acquisition functions allow display updating as fast as 1 sec. This level of performance is
required for manual control of pressure and flow.

TI 33J01A11-01EN June 30, 2016-00

 1. Overview of HIS for CENTUM VP 1-2

1.4 Succession of Operability

The same operability as for a conventional HMI, such as touch operations and eight-controlkey
operation, 64 function keys, and the like, has been achieved. In addition, when operability
changes with a CENTUM evolution, such as CAMS for HIS and Multi-window mode, specific
functions following the operability are provided.

1.5 Consolidated Alarm Management Software

(CAMS for HIS)
Based on the latest alarm management guidelines (*1), Yokogawa developed a Consolidated
Alarm Management Software for the process operator in the HIS. This software saves operators
from alarm flooding and to deliver only necessary alarms at the right timing.
*1: EEMUA (Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association) No.191, etc.

1.6 Remote Operation and Monitoring

Functions
Plants can be operated and monitored from a remote location. Remote operation and monitoring
can be made from a general purpose PC in an office far from the central control room.

TI 33J01A11-01EN June 30, 2016-00

 2. Hardware 2-1

2. Hardware
The desktop type HIS consists of a PC with Microsoft Windows installed and an operation
keyboard. The operation and monitoring function of the desktop HIS enables simple
operation and monitoring by mouse and one-touch using the dedicated keyboard.
Moreover, one HIS supports up to four monitors, allowing more Information to be
displayed by one HIS. Wide-sized monitors are also supported.

2.1 Operation Keyboard

The operation keyboard uses flat keys with a functional key layout based on a one-touch
operation. The operation keyboard includes an eight-control-key operation keyboard and a one-
control-key operation keyboard.

Consolidation of Alarms and Events

The CAMS for HIS message monitor displays consolidated CENTUM VP process alarms,
system alarms, and operator guide messages on one screen. In addition, Safety Instrumented
System ProSafe-RS, Network-based Control Systems STARDOM, and Field Device
Management Package (PRM) alarms and events are also consolidated and displayed.

Displaying Only Alarms and Events Required

CAMS for HIS provides many functions to deliver the necessary alarms and events to the right
person at the right time.
Filtering/Sorting
Alarm messages can be filtered and sorted using basic filters and user-defined filters.
Basic filters such as a process alarm filter or a plant-hierarchy filter can be used without
configuration. Filters unique to individual users can be defined, and temporary filters can
also be created flexibly.
Eclipsing
Alarms and events that are activated repeatedly by the same tag can be integrated and
displayed on a single line. Reducing the number of alarm messages displayed on the
window will allow operators to reach the critical alarms more quickly and easily.
Shelving
Unnecessary or nuisance alarms can be moved to a temporary area called a shelf in
order to hide alarms due to special circumstances. Individual unnecessary alarms can
be manually moved to the shelf. Chattering alarms or alarms that match user-defined
conditions can be automatically moved to the shelf.
Load Shedding
If too many alarms are generated in a short period of time due to an unexpected event,
predefined filters can be automatically activated to reduce the operators monitoring load.
Suppression
This function suppresses messages by the unit of alarm groups and stations that had been
defined beforehand.

Sorting out Alarms and Adding Value-added Information

Various identifiers for sorting alarms can be defined. In addition, various types of value-added
information can be defined for alarms to help users take role-based action for alarms quickly and
accurately.
Examples of identifiers for providing only necessary alarms
Purpose of monitoring (safety, environmental protection, economic efficiency)
Examples of identifiers for providing an alarm only to the persons who need it
Target user or user group
Examples of identifiers for providing an alarm at the right time
Allowed response time (urgent, quick, routine), desired degree of consequence
(very large, large, medium, small), alarm priority (critical, high, medium, low, logging,
reference)
Examples of value-added information
Root cause of alarm occurrence, role-based action to be taken, previous action procedures

Alarm Setpoint Management Function

An alarm setpoint is a threshold value for triggering an alarm. For an instance, the HH or PH is a
setting item of alarm setpoint in a function block.
When a plant is running, if the alarm setpoints are not proper, the process alarms may become
either excessive or insufficient that the important abnormality may be ignored or delayed, or even
resulted into a serious consequence. For safely operating a plant, the alarm setpoints must be
properly defined and managed.

CAMS for HIS provides an alarm setpoint management function which consists of the following
features:
Values of the alarm setpoint that engineers set during the system engineering stage are
saved as the master setpoints.
The alarm setpoint management function compares the setpoint values between the master
and the current ones, and displays the discrepancies.
A current setpoint can be overwritten by the master setpoint, if necessary.
A current setpoint values can be used to set the master setpoint value, if necessary.

3.3.4 Security
The security settings of CENTUM VP can be categorized into two functions: one is the CENTUM
specific security function; and the other is the IT security function based on Windows security
feature.

CENTUM Specific Security Function

The security function help prevent illegal operations and other problems and ensure the safety of
the system. The security function restricts the scope of operation and monitoring permitted for an
operator, and masks certain alarms of which the operator need not be notified.

Overview of Security Functions

When the operator log on, the scope of operation and monitoring and the permission are
specified. In addition, security can be defined for each function block and each window.
Moreover, advanced security functions, such as an automatic user-out, can be set.
In the operation and monitoring functions, operators have three attributes, including:
User name
The attribute to identify the user
User group
The attribute to decide the scope of operation and monitoring
User Permission
The attribute to decide the authority for operation and monitoring
The following shows the flow of security functions.

Figure Flow of Security Functions

User name
This is a user-specific user name which uniquely determines who the operator is. Historical
(operation) logging and the like will include this user name. A password is associated with each
user name.

User Group
The user group which the user belongs to determines the scope of operation and monitoring
functions that can be performed. The user group determines which FCS can be monitored, which
FCS can be operated, and which windows can be displayed. You can restrict the items which can
be monitored and operated by specifying the corresponding station name and drawing name, for
example. You can specify certain groups in certain plants, for example.

TI 33J01A11-01EN Mar. 26, 2015-00

 3. Operation and Monitoring Functions 3-21
User Permission
You can subdivide a user group into several levels of user permission (restriction): ordinary
operator, senior operator, engineering personal, etc. The default is three such levels S1, S2,
and S3 per user group. The default user permissions for these three levels are as shown below.
User-defined user permissions U1 to U7 are also possible.
Table Standard User Permissions
Permission level Monitoring Operation Engineering
S1 Yes No No
S2 Yes Yes No
S3 Yes Yes Yes
U1 to U7 Set by user

Yes: enabled
No: disabled

Security on a Per-Function-Block Basis

You can require confirmation when setting data in important function blocks, to prevent
inadvertent data entry. Using operation marks, you can also change temporarily the operations
are available or not.
For each individual function block, you can specify:
User restrictions
User restrictions on changing settings such as SV, MV or alarms
Confirmation of settings
The need for confirmation of settings (to help prevent errors)
Alarm processing
The type of alarm (blinking, need for acknowledgment, repeat alarms)
Tag mark
The tag mark corresponding to an individual function block can also be specified by the
user, to indicate tag importance (priority).

Table Tag Mark

Tag priority Tag mark

Important tag

Ordinary tag

Auxiliary tag 1

Auxiliary tag 2

Window-based Security
The operation and monitoring authority can be set for each window/view. By setting the operation
and monitoring authority on graphic views, changing the instrument faceplate assignment or
acknowledging of alarm blinking can be prohibited. On the trend view, the change of trend pens
assignment and the start/stop of batch trends can be prohibited. On the HIS setup window, the
change of function key assignment definition can also be prohibited.

TI 33J01A11-01EN Mar. 26, 2015-00

 3. Operation and Monitoring Functions 3-22
Advanced Security
Advanced security is provided to block password leaks and to prevent illegal access and other
problems.
User Lockout
The logon attempts with invalid password and user name are monitored. If the attempts are
continued for number of times, a system alarm message is initiated to alert for the illegal
access. It is possible to lock out the user who attempted logon as an illegal user.
Password Expiration
You can set the expiration period of password. 14 days before the expiration date of a
password, a message notifying that the password will soon expire is displayed.
Prohibiting Using Previously Used Passwords
You can make settings so that a user cannot specify the same character string as a
previously used password when the user changes the password.
Automatic User-Out
If the keyboard or the mouse has not been touched for a designated time period, the user is
automatically user-out.

IT Security Function
The IT security function strengthens security for CENTUM VP. CENTUM VP IT environment
is hardened by using Windows security functions. For example, by using the Windows access
control for users and user groups, accesses to CENTUM VP tools and file folders can be
managed. It can be used as a security countermeasure when a person logs in to the PC
by Windows user for operator, he can access to the operator displays and tools but not for
engineering tools. By Windows Firewall or DCOM setting, it restricts the communication types
and communication ports.

IT Security Setting
CENTUM VP supports the IT security setting using Windows security function. By defining the IT
security setting, it hardens the computer and protects it from cyber threats.
In Yokogawa system products, cyber threats are categorized as follows:
(1) Network attacks
(2) Direct attacks by manipulating computer components (*1)
(3) Theft of computer components (*1) or important data
*1: The computer component means a Microsoft Windows computer-based Yokogawa system product such as HIS, ENG, and etc.

Three different security models are available to handle these threats. These models flexibly
support different system configurations and operations.
Table Security models
Model Feature
Legacy model The security is not strengthened; priority is on collaboration with legacy products.
This model counters the threats in (1) and (2) above, focusing on the operations of the
Standard model
relevant systems and collaboration with other systems.
This model takes security countermeasures against all three threats in (1) to (3)
Strengthened model
above.

The table below shows the relationship between the above security model and corresponding
countermeasures.

CENTUM VP provides a tool that configures the security settings automatically in accordance
with the security models. Follow the guide and perform manual configuration for a product
without the tool, or models that the tool do not support. (*2)
*1: Manual setting is available as the tool is not applicable to set this function.
*2: For more information about setting the strengthened model, please contact Yokogawa sales department.

Windows Authentication Mode

Windows authentication mode is made of collaborating the CENTUM specific security function
and the IT security function. For previous CENTUM systems, users are defined within the
CENTUM operation and monitoring functions independently from the Windows user accounts,
and access limitations are applied to them. (CENTUM authentication mode)
By using the Windows authentication mode, the Windows accounts and the operation and
monitoring users can be integrated, and ensure a secure system within the Windows user
management framework. The centralized user management enables the Windows domain
configuration, which significantly improves the system usability.

Single Sign On
The Windows authentication mode provides the following two methods for making HIS available
by performing user authentication only once.
Windows Type Single Sign On
If a user logs in from the Windows logon dialog box, the user automatically proceeds to the
state of user-in to HIS.
HIS Type Single Sign On
When a PC is started, the user is automatically logged onto Windows, HIS is started with
least right (OFFUSER), and the user is placed in the user-out state.
