Yokogawa NFCP100-S00 S3 CPU Module

Product Overview

The Yokogawa NFCP100-S00 S3 serves as the primary processing engine for the STARDOM Autonomous Controller series. This high-performance CPU module integrates the regulatory control found in a Distributed Control System (DCS) with the flexibility and speed of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). By executing complex analog control loops and intricate sequence logic simultaneously, the NFCP100-S00 ensures stable and precise management of industrial processes. Its autonomous nature allows it to maintain local control even if communication with the supervisory network is interrupted.
