Product Description
The YCB301 is a high-performance communication cable designed for the Yokogawa CENTUM VP, Yokogawa CENTUM CS 3000, and Yokogawa ProSafe-RS control architectures. It provides the physical connection for the Extended Serial Backplane (ESB) Bus, enabling high-speed communication between Field Control Stations (FCS) and I/O expansion nodes.
The YCB301 features a 36-pin to 36-pin high-density connector configuration, supporting real-time process data transmission for both control logic and safety-related operations.
To ensure reliable operation in mission-critical environments, the cable incorporates triple-layer electromagnetic shielding to reduce EMI/RFI interference from nearby high-voltage equipment. The vibration-resistant connector design with locking screws prevents accidental disconnection that could trigger system alarms or shutdown events in Distributed Control System (DCS) environments.

Typical deployments include:
-
Process control cabinet expansion
-
Safety and control network integration
-
Local node-to-node ESB bus communication
-
High-density DCS control panel wiring
It is commonly used in industrial sectors such as:
-
Power generation
-
Oil and gas processing
-
Petrochemical plants
-
Large-scale manufacturing automation
FAQ
Q1: What is the maximum cable length supported?
Standard ESB bus YCB301 cable runs are typically limited to 10 meters. For longer distances, optical bus repeaters are required.
Q2: Can it be used for both safety and control systems?
Yes. The YCB301 is hardware-compatible with both control and safety architectures when used within proper system configurations.
Q3: Are the connectors hot-pluggable?
It is recommended to follow official installation procedures. Usually, nodes should be powered down or redundancy should be active before connecting or disconnecting ESB bus cables.
