Product Description

The Yokogawa YCB301-C100 is a high-performance ESB/ER bus interface cable designed for CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS control system architectures. This 1-meter shielded cable provides deterministic, low-latency communication between Field Control Units (FCUs) and Advanced Network Bus (ANB) node units, supporting up to 32 independent signals.

Equipped with 36-pin high-density connectors at both ends, the YCB301-C100 ensures signal integrity and reliable data transfer in electrically noisy industrial environments. Its robust shielding and precision construction make it ideal for complex process control networks where high-speed synchronization and system reliability are critical.

Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios

The YCB301-C100 is widely used for DCS I/O expansion, linking FCUs to multiple ANB/ANT nodes in:

• Power plant control rooms

• Petrochemical and refinery facilities

• Offshore oil and gas platforms

Its robust shielding prevents signal degradation in high-voltage or high-interference environments, such as near motor starters or frequency converters.

FAQ

Q: Can the YCB301-C100 carry power for the nodes?
The cable is primarily for bus communication, but it can carry low-current signals up to 0.2 A, sufficient for logic-level handshaking between FCUs and node units.

Q: Is the YCB301 compatible with legacy CENTUM CS 3000 systems?
Yes. The YCB301 series supports 36-pin ESB bus interfaces and is compatible with CENTUM VP, CS 3000, and other Yokogawa generations using the same bus standard.
