Product Overview
The SSB401-11 is a high-performance optical communication interface used in the Yokogawa CENTUM VP Integrated Production Control System. It functions as an ESB bus optical repeater (master side), extending the ESB bus over fiber-optic media to enable long-distance connection of Field Control Units (FCUs).
By converting electrical ESB signals into optical signals, the module ensures high-speed, noise-immune data transmission over extended distances, making it ideal for distributed control architectures and electrically harsh industrial environments.
