YOKOGAWA MX100-J-1M/DS
Product Introduction:
The MX100-J-1M/DS is Yokogawa’s enterprise-grade SCADA platform built on Java technology, designed for large-scale industrial process monitoring and control. It supports up to 1 million data points and features a dual-server architecture for high availability and redundancy. The platform provides real-time visualization, alarm management, historical data logging, and seamless integration with Yokogawa field instruments, DCS systems, and third-party devices via standard industrial protocols.

- Client Connections: Up to 200 simultaneous thin clients
- Alarm Processing Rate: 10,000 alarms per second
- System Availability: 99.99% (with dual-server configuration)
Material Composition:
- Software-based product — no physical material composition
- Runs on standard industrial PC hardware or virtual machines
Structural Features:
- Client-server architecture with dedicated application server and historical database server
- Dual-server configuration provides hot standby redundancy
- Modular design allowing scalable expansion of point count and client connections
Working Principle:
The MX100 SCADA platform polls field devices and controllers via industrial communication protocols at configured scan intervals. Acquired data is stored in a real-time database and simultaneously written to a historical database. The visualization engine renders process graphics, trends, and alarms in real time. The dual-server architecture maintains a synchronized copy of all data on the standby server; upon detection of primary server failure, the standby server automatically assumes control with minimal data loss.
Advantages & Highlights:
- 1 million point capacity supports the largest plant-wide deployments
- Java-based architecture ensures cross-platform compatibility and future-proofing
- Dual-server redundancy guarantees continuous operation even during server maintenance or failure
- HTML5 thin client eliminates the need for software installation on operator workstations
- Native integration with the entire Yokogawa automation ecosystem
Applicable Industries:
- Oil and Gas (upstream, midstream, downstream)
- Chemical and Petrochemical Plants
- Power Generation and Distribution
- Water and Wastewater Utilities
- Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology
- Pulp and Paper
- Mining and Metals
- Food and Beverage
Installation Requirements:
- Install on dedicated Windows Server 2019 or 2022 (64-bit) with minimum 16 GB RAM (recommended 32 GB for 1M points)
- Minimum 500 GB SSD storage for historical data (scalable)
- Network bandwidth: minimum 1 Gbps Ethernet between servers and field devices
- Configure firewall rules to allow SCADA communication ports (default: 4682, 4683, 4684)
- Activate license key before commissioning
- Dual servers must be on the same subnet for heartbeat communication
Usage Precautions:
- Ensure the operating system and all security patches are up to date
- Perform regular database backups (daily minimum)
- Do not install unauthorized third-party software on the SCADA server
- Monitor server CPU and memory utilization; set alerts at 80% threshold
- Test failover procedure quarterly to verify redundancy functionality
