Overview

The Yokogawa NFBU050-S15 Base Module serves as the foundation for assembling control hardware in distributed control systems (DCS) and remote terminal units (RTUs). It is compatible with FCN-RTU low-power autonomous controllers and CENTUM VP systems, offering secure mechanical support and reliable electrical connectivity for CPU and I/O modules.

Designed for compact installations, this short base module is perfect for control panels with limited space. It supports both DIN rail and 19-inch rack mounting, providing flexible deployment across various industrial settings. Its robust construction is built to withstand wide temperature ranges and high altitudes, ensuring stable performance in harsh environments.

Therefore, the NFBU050-S15 is widely used in power generation, petrochemical, water treatment, and manufacturing sectors, where modularity, durability, and system reliability are essential.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Distributed Control Systems (DCS): Serves as the base for CPU and I/O modules in CENTUM VP architectures, supporting centralized control across large facilities.

• Remote Terminal Units (RTU): Provides support for low-power autonomous control in FCN-RTU systems, enabling remote control in areas with limited power.

• Power Generation: Widely used in turbine and generator control panels to host modular expansion units for easy system upgrades.

• Petrochemical Plants: Offers compact mounting solutions for process control modules in hazardous environments, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.

• Water Treatment Facilities: Enables flexible control system layouts in space-constrained installations, allowing optimal use of available panel space.

For example, in a refinery, the NFBU050-S15 can be mounted on a DIN rail to host CPU and I/O modules for local process control. Its rugged build ensures reliable operation in high-temperature zones and elevated installations, such as in control rooms or remote pumping stations.
