Hardware Infrastructure Summary

The YCB141-M015 is a long-reach coaxial communication cable designed for Yokogawa V net control network systems. It operates under the 10BASE-2 (Thin Ethernet) standard and provides reliable real-time data transmission between distributed Field Control Stations (FCS) and Human Interface Stations (HIS).

The 15-meter (M015) length is suitable for extended control room wiring or medium-distance bus extensions while maintaining deterministic communication performance. The cable uses high-density industrial shielding to protect 50 Ω signal impedance and minimize electromagnetic interference in heavy industrial environments.

Detailed Engineering Specifications

Strategic Application Context

• Extended control cabinet linking across separated control room sections

• Primary or backup V net backbone segments for mid-range communication spans

• Connection of remote bus couplers to main control nodes within V net segment limits

Technical FAQ

Is YCB141-M015 compatible with Vnet/IP?
No. It is designed for legacy coaxial V net networks. Vnet/IP requires Ethernet-based cabling such as CAT5e/CAT6 or fiber optic solutions.

Why use a single 15-meter cable instead of multiple shorter cables?
Using one continuous cable reduces the number of connectors and potential impedance mismatch points, improving signal stability and reducing communication errors.

How can I detect V net cable faults?
Cable or connection degradation may cause “Bus 1 Error” or “Bus 2 Error” alarms in CENTUM system diagnostics. Replacing the segment with a certified cable is recommended for recovery.
