Technical Overview

The KS1010 is a high-speed Vnet/IP interface cable engineered for Yokogawa control networks. It provides deterministic, low-latency signal transmission between Vnet/IP interface cards (such as VI702 or VF701) and the system communication bus.

Designed for CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS platforms, the KS1010 maintains high data integrity and strong immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for dense industrial cabinet environments.

Detailed Specifications

Application

• Connection between Vnet/IP interface cards and communication bus

• CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS Vnet/IP networks

• Redundant Vnet/IP Bus 1 / Bus 2 architectures

Implementation & Reliability

• Designed for short-distance, high-integrity signal routing

• Proprietary pin assignments validated for Vnet/IP timing requirements

• Shield grounding minimizes EMI from high-voltage equipment

• Prevents packet loss and synchronization errors in real-time control systems

Technical FAQ

How is the KS1010 different from standard Ethernet cables?
The KS1010 uses Vnet/IP-specific pinouts and shielding, validated by Yokogawa for deterministic communication. Standard Ethernet cables are not certified for this application.

Is the KS1010 available in different lengths?
Yes. The cable is ordered with a length suffix (e.g. -01 = 1 m, -02 = 2 m). Select the suffix based on cabinet layout requirements.

Can the KS1010 be used in redundant configurations?
Yes. Two KS1010 cables are required in redundant systems—one for Bus 1 and one for Bus 2—to maintain fault-tolerant Vnet/IP communication.
