Yokogawa CENTUM VP DCS
The DCS of Indian refineries, fertiliser and power plants: architecture, FCS and HIS, function blocks, ST16 and LC64 logic, SEBOL, PID and advanced control, MC-2E device logic, HMI graphics, a full water-treatment project and ProSafe-RS.
What you will learn
Explain Yokogawa DCS architecture, create CENTUM VP projects, build logic with ST16, LC64 and SEBOL, configure PVI, templates and FCS/HIS options, configure and tune PID with cascade, split-range, feed-forward and override, build MC-2E valve and pump logic, complete a water-treatment project with annunciators and HMI, and perform channel, backup and graphics maintenance.
- Draw the CENTUM VP architecture: FCS, HIS, ENG, Vnet/IP, cabinets
- Create a project and build AND, ST16 and LC64 logic, tested in the test function
- Configure PVI, PBS5C, templates and project/FCS/HIS options
- Write SEBOL sequences and SFC blocks with signals and interrupts
- Configure and tune PID, cascade, split-range, feed-forward and override
- Build MC-2E valve and pump logic with trips and end switches
- Complete a water-treatment project with annunciators and HMI
- Maintain a live system: channels, backups, graphics, offline downloads, ProSafe-RS basics

Stuck? Ask a practising engineer
A free course usually means a comment section and hope. This one does not. Every module has an Ask-your-trainer panel that reaches the same engineers who teach our paid programme: people who commission panels for a living, not moderators.
- Questions answered in the context of the module you are on
- The same engineers who teach the AEP programme
- Career tools, CV help and public job listings included
- Your progress and notes stay in your account for good

Can I practise without CENTUM VP?
CENTUM VP is licensed, so the course is built to be followed closely and re-drawn; the free PID and Instrumentation courses provide simulators for the control theory. Plants with Yokogawa usually give engineers test-function access during induction.
Is ProSafe-RS covered?
The basics: what it is, its relationship to CENTUM VP, offline download and a compressor protection example. It is not a full safety course.
Which lessons were left out?
Two unreachable videos and one members-only lesson; their topics are covered by other lessons.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a Yokogawa qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a Yokogawa credential and is never described as one.
