Technical Overview

The KS1-05*B is a high-integrity multi-core signal cable for Yokogawa CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS systems. It provides a secure point-to-point connection between 40-pin I/O modules and terminal boards or relay blocks.

As a Style B revision, this cable features enhanced connector durability and shielding, maintaining signal fidelity over 5 meters in high-density electrical cabinets subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Detailed Specifications

Application & Deployment

• Internal cabinet or inter-cabinet wiring within 5 meters

• Provides one-to-one mapping of I/O signals for simplified commissioning

• Supports HART digital superimposed signals when paired with HART-capable I/O modules

• Robust Style B connectors designed for high vibration resistance and repeated insertion

• Ideal for field control stations near heavy rotating machinery or process equipment

Technical FAQ

What differentiates Style B from Style A?
Style B features improved connector housing and strain relief, enhancing durability in environments with frequent maintenance or vibration.

Can this cable transmit HART signals?
Yes. Fully compatible with analog signals carrying HART digital data, provided the connected I/O module supports HART.

Is 5 meters the maximum length?
No. KS1 series cables are available in multiple lengths (e.g., 2 m, 10 m). The 5 m version provides a standard middle-ground for distributed I/O racks.
