High-Speed Optical Communication for CENTUM Systems
The Yokogawa SNT411-13 serves as an optical ESB bus repeater master module for the CENTUM VP and CS3000 platforms. This module converts electrical ESB bus signals to optical signals for extended-distance communication. It transmits data at a speed of 1 Mbps between the controller and remote I/O nodes . The SNT411-13 supports a maximum transmission distance of 2 km using optical fiber cables . Furthermore, this module includes two optical ports for ring or daisy-chain network topologies.
Communication Performance and Topology Support
The module’s optical ports transmit data using 850 nm wavelength multimode fiber for reliable signal integrity. It supports both redundant and non-redundant configurations for enhanced system availability . The SNT411-13 automatically detects and corrects transmission errors to ensure data integrity . Its fiber-optic communication eliminates electrical interference issues, making it suitable for high-noise industrial environments . Moreover, the module provides diagnostic LEDs for indicating link status and communication activity.
