Product Description

Overview

The Yokogawa YNT512D-P11/KT is a dual-redundant Ethernet interface and bus repeater module designed for the FA-M3 range-free controllers. It ensures reliable high-speed network communication, remote CPU control, and efficient data exchange in distributed control systems. Engineered for mission-critical environments, this module supports V net and RIO bus networks, maintaining signal integrity over extended distances.

Key Features

High-Speed Communication

• Supports TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols for fast and reliable data transfer.

• Handles event-driven transmissions up to 128 bytes per message, ideal for real-time process monitoring.

Dual Redundancy and Reliability

• Dual independent communication paths maintain continuous operation if a single circuit fails.

• Hot-swappable design enables replacement without shutting down the entire rack.

Signal Integrity and Network Extension

• Amplifies and regenerates signals on V net and RIO buses to overcome cable-induced attenuation.

• Extends network reach beyond standard cable limitations by acting as an active repeater.

System Integration

• Fully compatible with Yokogawa FA-M3 controllers and legacy CENTUM CS/3000 DCS systems.

• Rack-mounted configuration for compact installation within control or I/O nests.

• Supports both ASCII and binary data formats for flexible system communication.

Industrial-Grade Design

• Lightweight (approx. 0.6 kg) and compact for efficient rack space use.

• Designed to tolerate electrical noise, temperature variations, and vibrations common in industrial environments.

• Japanese-manufactured quality with 12-month warranty.
