Product Description

The ACG10S-F2123 is a specialized Communication Gateway Unit (CGU) developed by Yokogawa Electric Corporation for CENTUM control systems.

It serves as a high-reliability bridge between the V-net control network and external subsystems, enabling wide-area communication (WAC) and integration of third-party supervisory systems. The unit manages and converts data packets across different network layers, ensuring that critical process information is accessible for plant-wide optimization and supervisory control.

The ACG10S-F2123 features dual-redundant V-net interfaces and a ruggedized industrial chassis, ensuring fault-tolerant operation in demanding thermal and EMI environments.

Technical Specifications

Application and Connectivity

The ACG10S-F2123 is widely used in:

• Oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas processing facilities

• Connecting distributed Field Control Stations (FCS) over wide-area networks

• Integrating third-party supervisory systems into CENTUM without compromising network integrity

It ensures high uptime and reliable communication between remote control nodes and central engineering stations.

Professional FAQ

What is the primary function of Frame Mode?
Frame Mode enables the ACG10S-F2123 to package V-net data for transmission over standard communication lines, facilitating long-distance connectivity between remote control stations.

Can the ACG10S-F2123 operate in high-temperature environments?
Yes. It is rated for -25°C to +60°C, suitable for unconditioned control rooms or cabinets in diverse climates.

Is the V-net redundancy automatic?
Yes. The dual-redundant V-net configuration provides automatic failover. If one bus path fails, the unit switches to the standby path without manual intervention or data reset.
