Control Systems
Control systems have become key devices in the handling of enormous volumes of process information as well as local device information. This has created the need for control systems to strike a balance between openness and high security in order to work with higher level systems and achieve optimum operation.
Mitsubishi Power has developed and supplied control systems that maintain high reliability and utilization rates while meeting maintenance support and safety requirements at power plants over several decades and throughout the lifecycle of machinery and equipment.
What is DIASYS?
DIASYS, which stands for Digital Intelligent Automation System, is a distributed control system that is focused on achieving the high reliability and flexibility that enables high operational utilization. The system incorporates extensive expertise and control technologies, culminating in a distributed control system (DCS).
DIASYS Netmation and DIASYS Netmation4S are the latest control systems offered by Mitsubishi Power.
Key Features:
- High reliability
- Advanced control functions
- Excellent operability
- Easy maintenance
- Flexibility and expandability
Flexible System Configurations Tailored to Customer Requirements
DIASYS Netmation and DIASYS Netmation4S offer flexible system configurations tailored to customer requirements, from small plants to large-scale facilities such as thermal power plants.
Our unique perspective as a plant manufacturer allows us to contribute to customer profits with systems developed in pursuit of reliability.
We also offer an extensive range of optional products to support plant operation.
A Combination of Know-how and Expertise Based on Over 35 Years of Experience
DIASYS maintains high reliability and an impressive utilization rate as a system, while incorporating the extensive expertise and control technologies Mitsubishi Power possesses as a plant manufacturer, culminating in a distributed control system (DCS) with ease of handling for everyone, from operators to plant engineers and maintenance personnel.
Vast Product Lineup
Our full hardware product lineup can offer a wide range of solutions from compact systems to large-scale systems. DIASYS provides large-size controllers (MPS: Multiple Process Station) and small-size controllers (CPS: Compact Process Station). A distributed system can be designed and offered based on its use and scale with the optimum balance between cost and performance. For thermal power plants, DIASYS can offer control and monitoring functions for the entire plant.
DIASYS maintains high system reliability by having redundancy for its CPU data processing module, network modules, and power unit. Furthermore, the CPU module has a substantial self-diagnostic function. In case of failure, the system switches to the backup modules without any disruptions in system control. Additionally, the root cause of the issue is displayed to aid in taking prompt corrective action.
You can change and create control operation logic, create a system diagram or control loop displayed on an operator station, and add to or change the hardware configuration by using the maintenance tools specifically designed for DIASYS. This maintenance data is centrally managed through an integrated database to allow efficient engineering.
Our DIASYS Netmation control systems can integrate with TOMONI® analytics and web applications to access information that can quickly provide guidance on a full range of O&M issues. This solution is NERC CIP compliant, giving you confidence in your smart power plant.
Operator stations are easy to operate and use because they use the Microsoft Windows operating system to operate and monitor processes and to manage data. Operator stations provide a variety of functions to support operation, control, and monitoring of a plant. These functions include displaying plant system diagrams, trend graphs, control loop plates, and alarm events as well as logic monitoring.
DIASYS supports a variety of communication protocols This allows DIASYS to connect to and communicate with systems from other vendors throughout your plant.

Control & Digital Success Story
Controls Upgrade Adds Resiliency & Flexibility
Enel Generación Costanera is the largest thermal power plant in Argentina. ENEL viewed the upgrade of the Costanera GTCC DCS and power block control systems as a key enabler for
digitalization required to support decarbonization, the increased penetration of renewables and long-term sustainability. The challenge was how to implement the upgrade in a preplanned and phased manner that had the least disruption to normal plant operation.
