Product Description
The YCB301-C500 is a dedicated 500-meter communication cable designed to extend the Extended System Bus (ESB) within Yokogawa CENTUM VP and Yokogawa CENTUM CS 3000 Distributed Control Systems. It enables deterministic, high-speed data exchange between Field Control Units (FCUs) and remote I/O nodes across large industrial installations.
Purpose-built for process automation environments, the YCB301-C500 ensures reliable real-time synchronization over long distances. Its enhanced EMI/RFI shielding protects against electrical noise generated by heavy machinery, while its industrial-grade outer jacket supports both indoor and outdoor installations. This makes it ideal for geographically dispersed control cabinets without compromising ESB performance or introducing communication latency.

Application
The YCB301-C500 is commonly deployed in:
-
Large-scale refineries
-
Chemical processing complexes
-
Offshore oil & gas platforms
-
Plant expansion projects requiring remote I/O rack additions
It is particularly suited for extending ESB communication between central processors and distributed I/O cabinets across significant physical distances.
Technical FAQ
Can the YCB301-C500 be used in a redundant configuration?
Yes. For high-availability systems, dual cables are typically installed in parallel to create a redundant ESB path. If one cable is damaged, communication continues uninterrupted over the secondary link.
Does this cable require repeaters for 500-meter transmission?
The YCB301-C500 is designed specifically for long-distance ESB extension. However, it must be paired with appropriate ESB bus coupler modules (such as EC401 or EC402) at both ends to maintain signal integrity across the full 500-meter span.
