Overview

The Yokogawa ANT502-5E is a slave repeater module for Enhanced System Bus (ESB) optical networks, designed to extend communication between central control units and remote I/O nodes. By utilizing fiber-optic technology, it provides EMI-resistant, deterministic, high-speed data transmission over long distances, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments.

The module is commonly installed in Optical ESB Bus Node Units (ANB11) or Repeater Units (ANT10U), forming part of a scalable and fault-tolerant network. Its compact and lightweight design enables easy integration in space-constrained control cabinets.

This module is widely used in oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and other industries requiring robust and reliable communication networks.
