Long-Distance Optical Extension for CENTUM and ProSafe-RS
The Yokogawa SNT511-13 functions as an optical ESB bus repeater slave module within Yokogawa CENTUM VP, CS3000, and ProSafe-RS platforms. This module converts optical signals from the master repeater back into electrical ESB bus signals for remote I/O nodes. It works in conjunction with the master module SNT411 or SNT401 to extend the ESB bus transmission distance . The SNT511-13 supports a maximum extension length of up to 50 km when used in a two-stage configuration with its master counterpart . Its optical interface provides complete galvanic isolation, eliminating ground loops and electromagnetic interference issues.
Flexible Topology and Fiber Support
The module supports both star and daisy-chain (chain) connection topologies for versatile network layouts . It accommodates both multi-mode and single-mode optical fiber types, offering flexibility for different distance requirements . The SNT511-13 utilizes a dual-redundant architecture, ensuring high reliability and fault tolerance for critical safety communication . LED indicators for power, link, and status provide clear visual diagnostics for network monitoring .
