Optical ESB Bus Repeater Slave Module Yokogawa ANT502-50
Description
TheYokogawa ANT502-50 Optical Bus Repeater Moduleis a key component in extending the communication range ofYokogawa CENTUM VP control systems. It functions as aslave repeater, converting electricalESB (Enhanced System Bus)signals into optical signals. This optical conversion ensures reliable long-distance transmission of control signals, making it ideal for large-scale or geographically distributed industrial systems. The ANT502-50, when paired with amaster repeaterlike theANT401, supports bothchain and star topologies, providing flexibility in network design. Its compact and robust form factor allows for easy installation in control cabinets or field enclosures, ensuring durability in harsh environments. This module plays a crucial role in maintaining system integrity and responsiveness over extended distances. TheANT502-50is widely deployed in industries such aspower generation,petrochemical, andmanufacturing, wheredistributed controlandreliable communicationare essential.
