Product Overview
The Yokogawa SNT501 Optical ESB Bus Repeater Slave Module is designed to extend the ESB bus transmission distance by converting ESB bus electrical signals to optical signals when connected to a master module (SNT401) or N-ESB bus module. It supports both star and chain topologies, enabling flexible system configurations with maximum optical transmission distances up to 5 km (or 10 km in Vnet/IP R1.03 or later systems).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the maximum distance supported by the SNT501?
A1: Up to 5 km for two stages, or 10 km in Vnet/IP R1.03 or later systems.
Q2: Can SNT501 work alone without an SNT401?
A2: No, it must be paired with a master module such as SNT401 or N-ESB module.
Q3: Is the SNT501 suitable for star topology connections?
A3: Yes, it supports both star and chain type connections.
Q4: What is the power consumption of the SNT501?
A4: It consumes approximately 0.5 A.
Q5: Can it operate in high-temperature environments?
A5: Yes, with the proper suffix code (-3 or -F) it can operate up to 70 °C.
Q6: What is the weight of the SNT501?
A6: About 0.3 kg.
Q7: Which units can the SNT501 be mounted on?
A7: It can be mounted on SNB10D or the dedicated SNT10D unit.
