Product Overview
The Yokogawa AND20 functions as the primary communication bridge for remote I/O nodes within the CENTUM VP control system. Acting as a Node Interface Unit (NIU), it connects field control stations to remote I/O expansion units via the high-speed ESB or ER bus. The module manages real-time data exchange between the processor and distributed I/O modules, ensuring synchronized and reliable signal processing across large-scale industrial operations. This unit is supplied as 100% brand new, original hardware for guaranteed compatibility and performance.

Engineering Advantages
Seamless Bus Integration
The AND20 offloads communication handling from the main controller, enabling efficient expansion of distributed I/O networks without increasing CPU load, thereby maintaining fast system response.
Redundant Path Support
Supports dual-redundant communication paths. In case of a cable or path failure, the module automatically switches to the backup channel, ensuring continuous plant operation.
Corrosion Protection
Equipped with G3-level conformal coating, the internal circuitry is protected against corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide, making it ideal for harsh industrial environments.
Compact DIN-Rail Mounting
Designed with a standard 35 mm DIN-rail clip for fast and flexible installation, especially in high-density control cabinets.
FAQs
Does the AND20 support hot-swapping?
Yes, the module supports hot-swapping. The redundant communication architecture ensures uninterrupted operation during replacement.
What is the maximum distance for the ESB bus connection?
Standard ESB bus connections support distances up to 10 meters. For longer distances, optical repeaters are required to maintain signal integrity.
How do I verify the communication status?
The front panel includes “HRDY” and “COMM” LED indicators. A steady HRDY light indicates readiness, while flashing COMM LEDs confirm active data transmission.
Is this compatible with older CENTUM CS 3000 systems?
Yes, it is compatible with certain CENTUM CS 3000 configurations. However, firmware compatibility should be verified to ensure full functionality.
