Vanguard S5 Pro

Fully Integrated Platform for Your Challenging Turbomachinery Control Needs

Vanguard S5 Pro provides full system integration for all your turbomachinery needs. With its ability to link to your DCS, Pi® data system and auxiliary equipment, you have full monitoring capabilities for total train control.

Vanguard S5 Pro offers a plug-in migration solution to extend lifecycle of existing S5 Vanguard control system, which were designed for support of 576 I/O points. Vanguard S5 Pro runs CCC’s ProOS, similar to Prodigy, with an intuitive programming environment for total train control including sequencing and auxiliary system for your turbomachinery. The following IEC 61131-3 programming language standards are supported:

• Ladder diagram (LD)
• Function block diagram (FBD)
• Structured text (ST)
• Instruction list (IL)
• Sequential function chart (SFC)

S5P Vanguard supports MQTT Sparkplug B communication – paving the way for integration with the next generation of CCC operator HMI software that leverages it. This lightweight Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub) protocol enables secure, bandwidth-efficient, and scalable communication that supplements the existing capabilities of your existing S5 Vanguard control system.

Enhanced Redundancy and Diagnostics

Vanguard S5Pro runs ProOS which improves system availability and maintenance ease-of-use.

• Flexible switching: Modular redundancy at every level – from power supplies, to main processors, to I/O processors
• Self-learning: Plug-and-play replacement of faulty card without the need to manually load configuration files
• Better diagnostics: Higher-resolution archiving with Sequence of Events (SoE)
• Extended Life Cycle: Protect your assets with updated software and hardware through new processor card

Defense-in-depth for some of the most critical assets in your process

Safe, reliable, and efficient operations of turbomachinery trains is critical to process. Vanguard S5 Pro helps you secure these assets with the following industry-leading capabilities:

• Encrypted Communication: Prevent network sniffing of sensitive data like credentials
• Communication Robustness: Certified for GE Digital Achilles Communications Certification Level 1 to defend against denial of service attacks
• Security Logs: Ensure traceability of security events
• Hardening Options: Further harden the device optionally by disabling non-essential functions
• Secure Boot and TPM module for encryption: Protect system integrity and encrypt sensitive data
