Hyperion Systems Engineering - Hyperion has built an Interface to the Yokogawa Centum CS 3000 DCS for use in Operator Training Simulator (OTS) Applications

New Interface enabling real-time rigorous models to be connected to Yokogawa DCS for realistic effective operating skills development.

Watford UK, 24th November 2006. Hyperion Systems Engineering Ltd., the leading independent OTS supplier provides high quality custom made solutions and services to process industries worldwide, has announced that it has Built an interface Yokogawa Centum CS 3000 DCS for use with Operator Training Simulator (OTS) technology to enable effective development of operator skills in a wide range of operating scenarios.. This interface technology product has already been used by Hyperion on two OTS projects.

The Interface connects rigorous dynamic simulation models to the Yokogawa DCS environment using EXATIF a Yokogawa product and provides a complete simulation of the Yokogawa DCS control functions, and supports the full range of OTS features such as freeze/resume, and initial condition load/save.

The Hyperion built HSE_YGSIM package contains productivity tools to aid model integration with the DCS. These include: “Configuration Verification”, which compares the DCS and model configurations, and detects potential errors. “Synchronization”, which synchronizes the DCS with the simulator so on completion the DCS controllers match those in the simulation, and are ready to take control. . A spreadsheet tool, which updates a specially constructed spreadsheet with internal data from the DCS and the models.

Hyperion is working on developing other OTS products and they will be announced as they become available.

Dr. Symeon Kassianides , CEO of Hyperion said, “this is a great achievement for Hyperion in the area of product development and with this and other development we have in progress, we will provide better, more effective OTS solutions to our customers.
